fab house in EU?

Dear all,

we're at the pre-production stage, I would like to ask here in the forum the suggestion and/or your experience with fabs in Europe.

What we are looking for?

  • a fab for fast turnover prototypes
  • a production fab as well

especially for Germany and Italy as our locations are in these two countries, but of course not limited to those.

Also, is it common if you ask a fab BGA+Balun assembly to answer they cannot prototype but could to production? I was expecting either clear no or do-both, am I wrong?

Thank you

  • I've used Sub Assembly Services in the UK a number of times with excellent quality & service. Pricing is good for the UK but might be higher than in Italy (just guessing).

    It's not too strange to not be able to prototype BGA, as you need special equipment for placing them for prototypes (Or you'd have to eat the cost of setting up the pick&place machine) and preferably an X-Ray machine to test whether they made good connection. For production you would set up a proper test setup and use a pick&place machine (And you can "dial in" the production process to get a good yield).

  • Dear Janek,

    thank you for your share! I'll check them, thanks! Oleh
