The AEM proprietary plating process delivers superior quality while eliminating the potential damage to sensitive electronic devices caused by conventional hot-solder dipping. AEM’s Sn/Pb conversion process is ideal for chip scale fied up-screening activities. 100% visual inspection at passive components including capacitors, inductors, 7X-10X magnification levels is performed by AEM on all resistors, ferrite chip beads, fuses, resistor arrays, Sn/Pb conversion lots. capacitor arrays, bead arrays and many molded body Included within the scopes of AEM’s AS9100 and IS0 passive and active surface mount component types. 9001:2008 QMS Certifications.
