Surface Mount Assembly
(OP)
Hi, could SMDs be assembled by soldering(in quantities)?
Does anyone know any good assembly companies, that are reasonable for quantities of a few dozen?
Thanks a lot.

RE: Surface Mount Assembly
It is possible to hand-solder some surface mount components and ICs, but this requires minute soldering irons and extreme skill. As a consequence it is normally reserved for rectification of occasional faulty joints on boards, not as a routine volume production method.

If you can give more details about the card I could be more detailed about my reply, I've done fine-pitch SMT card assembly on prototypes under the 30X microscope (which is no-fun but at least it can be done).
Hope this helps.
