May 2020
Dear Electronics Colleague -
 
April was quite the month with BEST continuing to train customers, manufacture products and provide rework/repair services as an essential business.

Like many of your businesses we have learned to embrace the "new normal" environment.  That includes not being able to see customers face-to-face and missing  the contact with our work colleagues. Our front office staff has learned to work remotely as well as using Zoom meetings to connect with customers and suppliers.


As we usher in summer on the Memorial Day weekend we trust that we can all enjoy some "back to normal" activities such as swimming, bike riding, lawn work and smaller picnics.

Continue to stay safe!

Soldering to Turret Terminal
NEW Instructional Video
There are a variety of terminal soldering skills learned in the J-STD-001 soldering class. These include wire/terminal assembly consisting of wire stripping and tinning amongst other skills. This is followed by wire preparation around a terminal which includes forming, soldering  and inspection.
 
One of the types of assembly terminations taught 
in the J-STD-001 class is the turret terminal. These terminals, after being mechanically attached to the PCB, are then ready to have one or multiple wires soldered to them. 
 
A demonstration of how to properly solder wires to a turret terminal can be found in our updated HD video below from the BEST instructor staff. Check it out!

PCB Pad Repair Kit
BEST's PCB pad repair kit has the materials you need to repair damaged, lifted or removed pads. The BEST PCB pad repair kit comes in both an  epoxy version as well as a dry film version. The epoxy version features a 2-part epoxy which provides the greatest holding force for the pads. While the dry film version requires less clean up after completion of the repair.
 
Kits usually ship from stock. Call Chris E with any questions at 847-797-9250 or send your
inquiry
to cedwards@solder.net.
