Material Leadtimes a problem? CSM, along with most contract manufacturers, have seen a dramatic extension in material lead times for electronic components. Unlike previous 'component shortages' in the past, no commodity seems immune! We have experienced some difficulty in sourcing components as diverse as humble passives through to transistors and diodes and IC's; even bare pcbs are not immune! | ||

| CSM Electronics have over 20 years experience in populating PCB's for customers, from prototypes to mid/high volume production quantities to a high quality standard. Using customer data we prepare unique Manufacturing Packs for each customers product with full traceability. We can also help manage customers moving their manufacturing back to UK. | ||

After numerous enquiries for selective conformal coat and increased demand from our customers, CSM has invested in a Asymtek Century C-740 automated, programmable, acrylic conformal coating application system, with UV enhancement.

CSM Electronics continues to be regularly assessed for British Standards Institute Kitemark Certification for IPC-A-610D, Certificate No. KM83833, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, which certifies our production process is at a high standard of workmanship as well as having the latest ISO9001:2008 Quality Approval. Having our manufacturing processes assessed and certified, reinforces our reputation for consistent quality on delivered product to existing and prospective customers. CSM Electronics manufacturing facilities in Wareham are accredited to IPC Class 3, the highest level achievable. We currently operate and maintain systems and standards that allows us to comply with various other Approvals, for example FM Approvals, required by some of our customers and will be evaluating others, particularly in areas of defence, aeronautics. etc., | ||

CSM Electronics embraces mixed technologies, high complexity and even smaller pad sizes. Over the past few years CSM has seen the mix of technologies and complexity on PCB's increase and with RoHS compliance now firmly entrenched in the manufacturing processes, we want to ensure that we can continue to provide the best quality service to our customers at a competitive price.

| CSM Electronics, a flexible and responsive CEM, has invested in an X-Tek X-Ray machine, an Ersascope Inspection System and Ersa Rework & precision placement systems. In addition we have upgraded our DiagnoSYS Scanpoint Automatic Optical Inspection system (AOI) | ||

Some years ago CSM Electronics hosted a lead-free seminar for our customers to ensure that they felt confident in the support offered by CSM. Since then we have worked with our customers on the transition over to lead-free and some 95% of our current work is RoHS compliant. We can still offer manufacturing for assemblies not RoHS compliant by running a parallel line facility. We have resources to enable us to provide a full transition service for customers yet to take the leap. This can be broken down according to your requirements as follows: Lead-free BOM transfer This service is available for those who do not have the time or resources to invest into the transition. Using our design partners we will take your Bill Of Materials and give you an initial lead-free analysis. This will include which components are availabe lead-free, whether the components can withstand the higher temperature needed during the manufacturing process and a list of problem parts. CSM Turnkey Customers If you are already a customer of CSM, or are looking for a new turnkey supplier then we can convert your BOM's to 'lead-free' for an appropriate fee. As an added incentive to convert, these fees will be refunded once an agreed order is placed. Lead-free re-design The RoHS Directive provides an ideal opportunity for re-design, which we are pleased to offer to our customers. This will be particularly beneficial for products encountering an element of component obsolescence, and those in need of modifications and or updates. We would be happy to receive your Bills of Materials and give you a quotation, please contact Kelly Morris on 01929 554099, or send your BOM by e-mail
