Feedthru/Connector Selection:
The first step is sourcing the highest quality feedthru’s possible given the customers specifications. Not all feedthrus are made to the same level of quality, and knowing our vendors plays a key role in getting good quality components. Along with that the Agawam staff, from the quality department down to the operators pinning the packages and working the reflow ovens are trained on how to visually inspect each feed that goes into a package.
Fixturing and Process Control:
Having the right fixturing during the reflow process and understanding what happens to the flux and the preform during reflow is vital to achieving proper integration. Our engineers work through each part to make sure we understand the process from start to finish.
Part of the integration process is developing process controls that allow us to repeat the process every time we run that part. Even the simplest thing, such as how much flux, is important to achieving repeatable and reliable processes.
Soldering and Wiring:
J-STD-001 Compliant Soldering: At Agawam, we follow the industry's highest standards, ensuring our soldering processes adhere to the J-STD-001 requirements. This certification guarantees that our soldered connections are of the highest quality, reliable, and meet the stringent demands of various industries.
Termination and Cabling: Our skilled technicians are well-versed in termination techniques and cabling solutions. We provide efficient and durable terminations for a wide range of applications, ensuring optimal signal transmission and connectivity.
Vacuum and Cover-Gas Applications: For specialized projects that demand precise soldering and wiring in controlled environments, we offer vacuum and cover-gas applications. These processes protect sensitive components and materials from contamination while achieving high-quality results.
Testing:
We know we’ve achieved success only after we’ve put each part through the testing process. After feedthru integration all housings are solder bridge tested, open face fine leak checked and then put through an 8–10-hour Thermal Cycle and then leak checked again. We’re confident that the housings we’re sending to your facility meet the testing standards you’ll be subjecting them to.
