New CEMCO immersion silver line for Thales Netherlands

Article Type: Industry news From: Circuit World, Volume 36, Issue 2

Cemco FSL, Hampshire UK, have announced the receipt of a significant order from Thales Nederland BV for a “Streamline” Conveyorised Immersion system for use with the ALPHASTAR™ Immersion Silver of Enthone (a Cookson Electronics company).

Thales, a leading developer and manufacturer of naval radar systems, has a well-equipped plant based in Hengelo The Netherlands for designing, bare board manufacturing, engineering, assembling and testing of high-end electronic systems.

Hans Adelaar, Process Engineer at the Thales plant in Hengelo explains the choice of Immersion Silver and the “Streamline” technology of Cemco FSL. “Within Thales we have a mix of high-end digital printed circuit boards and RF boards often even integrated within one bare board. The Immersion Silver finish combines good assembling characteristics with good RF-characteristics making the Immersion Silver finish an ideal final finish for many applications within Thales. It was proved that the use of the ‘Streamline’ Conveyorised Immersion system of Cemco FSL is a very effective way to coat our bare boards with a very uniform Silver layer”.
