For years, PDS has been using wave solder for all through-hole applications. With PDS’ product mix of low volume and high technology, wave soldering was very cumbersome. In many situations, PDS finds itself hand soldering the few through-hole components to save time. The Cube 460 will eliminate the need for hand soldering and offers great quality and consistency that hand soldering cannot offer. Our quality manager, Robert Valles, states, “It is okay to hand solder 1 through-hole connector on a board, but when you have 10 (connectors) on a board it is very time consuming and hard to control consistency. Although PDS has some of best hand soldering and touch-up employees in Silicon Valley, the Cube 460 will just add another level of quality and service that we can offer to our customers.”
Our sprawling 14,000-square foot, ESD-controlled plant, conveniently located near San Jose Mineta International Airport, provides expedited service. We can deliver special requests within 24 hours.
