We help you reduce flow processes.
Rapid advancements in surface mounting and miniaturization of leading semiconductors and essential passive components, like resistors and capacitors, are accelerating miniaturization and high-density mounting.
However, there are still issues that prevent the introduction of surface mounting and reflow soldering for electronic components.
OMRON contributes to product miniaturization and man-hour saving by offering a wide variety of reflow-compatible products in small lots.
Reflow process greatly reduces the mounting process.
We help you reduce waste and realize environmentally friendly management.
![Reflow soldering process: Print and inspect cream solder, Chip mounter sucks and transports components, Apply heat to melt the cream solder for mounting and inspect the image. Flow soldering process: Pre-treatment (masking, terminal cutting/hand mounting), Flow soldering (flux application, preheating, jet flow soldering), Post-treatment/Visual inspection. Man-hours for reflow process only: Eliminate DIP components to reduce flow processes. Since it can also be installed on the back side, reflow can be completed in a single step, contributing to miniaturization and man-hour saving.](/sites/default/files/2024-06/onboard_281_1_02_en.png)
*1. Mounting condition: Assuming that Component A and Component B are mounted together
(when DIP terminals need to be cut due to board thickness and the back side of Component A is a solder-prohibited area on the circuit)
I know I should use reflow-compatible products, but...
Large order quantities of components are a problem...
Purchasing can be difficult when the minimum order quantity is several thousand pieces for small-lot production. Any excess will be disposed of and produce waste in terms of environmental considerations. Trying to use up the excess would require a lot of management man-hours...
