> The process of soldering of single sided PCBs is more expensive > than that of double sided PCBs if to be done properly, I believe. I don't know how you come to that conclusion. My observations of mass soldering of single sided PCBs is that it is quite probably considerably cheaper than doing double sided. A solder bath machine would be easier to run than any form of reflow solder machine that needs to do both sides of the board, and would produce as good a job as any reflow solder machine, from the results I have seen. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
