SMT Lead Forming Equipment & Services Catalog

Fancort is the industry leader in component lead preparation services for the Semiconductor and Aerospace industries. We have over thirty-nine years of experience in lead forming of a wide variety of packages, including large and small flatpacks and quadpacks, DIPs, fiberoptic headers and devices that require conversion from through-hole to SMT. We use our unique universal and dedicated tooling systems and complete process control to ensure accuracy and quick turnaround of your parts to JEDEC and/or mil-spec dimensions, with optional services such as leak testing and tinning if required.

• Fancort Industries is "ITAR registered, code M22953, as of 15-May-2008". Fancort is, also, listed with the US Government under Cage Code # 6L 152. Fancort is an approved NASA supplier of Forming Services and Tools.
• Lead forming to Mil-std-883E and NASA Std FP 51 3414 Rev. H Section 3and IPC J-STD-001E-2010 / April 2010
• Complete process control and documentation
• Standard footprint layouts available, or we will design your custom footprint
• All work is done in a controlled ESD Safe environment. Our facility meets all requirements for Class Zero applications (0-250 volts).
• DOD MIL-STD-1686C Compliant
• Turnaround can be as little as three days (typically 10 working days)
• Inspection of incoming devices for lead skew or other deformity
• Inspection report and Certificate of Compliance

• Lead tinning to NASA STD 8739.3 with Change #4, "workmanship STD for SMT" and Mil 2003.7
• Fancort is NASA STD 8739.2 CERTIFIED for tinning Space grade flat packs and quad packs as of 21-September-2011.
• Tinning is done on our automated LTS200 machine
• Our tinning is done in a 100% inert, Nitrogen environment
• Solder used is 63/37 Ultra pure standard
• Fancort uses a non-flux process with an automated tinning machine, Nirtogen blanket and dual dynamic pot process
• Example of tinned 256 ACTEL FPGA
• "Flux", for Gold leaded parts, is used at Fancort's discretion. Fancort's standard is: No Flux, no clean flux or OA Flux per J004
• Flux is a cleaning process that is normally not needed for high reliability Gold parts.
• Per Mil Std 2000A and J Std. Mil Std 200A section 5.3.1.3 "For surface mounted parts, the gold shall be removed from at least 95% of the total gold plated surface and there shall be no gold on the to be soldered areas of the part."
• Fancort's solder pot testing complies with J Std 001 contamination limits. Table 3-1 on page 5. Section 3.9.3 on page 6 for gold removal. (Similar to mil std 2000)
• Fancort standard Mil-spec process is a double dip procedure to remove the gold first, then add the second coating
• The normal Lead Tinning height is about 1/2 way up the leg, giving full heel coverage for excellent soldering to the PC Board
• Solder alloys used for solder dip are in accordance with J-STD-006, or equivalent, and shall contain a minimum of 3% lead. Hot solder dip meets the tinning requirements of ANSI/IPC J-STD-001, Class 3, and tinned leads shall meet the solderability requirements of J-STD-002, Category 3.
• Fine and Gross Leak Testing
  • Leak testing to Mil-std 883, Med + Mod 1014.12, conditions A&C fine and gross
  • Adjustable Shipping matrix trays to hold two and four-sided SMT devices; includes ESD packaging
• Applicable Specifications & Standards:
  • ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001-2008, MGMT review and certification pending.
  • IPC/EIA J-STD-001, Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies
  • http://www.dscc.dla.mi/
  • MIL-PRF-38535, General Specification for Integrated Circuits Manufacturing
  • MIL-PRF-38534, General Specification for Hybrid Microcircuits
  • MIL-PRF-19500, General Specification for Semiconductor Devices
    • NASA STD 8739.3 with Change #4
    • Mil specs "QQ-S-571F"
