Product modification center

With a capacity to program over 40 million units and to tape and reel 45 million units, Avnet Logistics in Poing (Germany) currently operates the largest product modification center in Europe. The Avnet Logistics facility is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN EN IEC 61340-5-1 & 2 and ISO 14001 meets high quality standards of the automotive, naval, aviation, aerospace, telecommunications, military and medical equipment industries.

To avoid soldering problems Avnet Logistics supplies moisture sensitive devices in dry packs. Dry packing is performed strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. When necessary and indicated, Vacuum Ovens are employed to bake & dry components at low temperature. That way Avnet Logistics ensures that devices arrive at the customer site in perfect condition.

State-of-the-art automated and manual equipment satisfies almost all industrial programming and tape & reel requirements for all major semiconductor products. These services are available to all clients of Avnet’s European component distributors and supports them optimising their value chain. Irrespective of the quantity, a full production run, a small evaluation batch or prototyping, Avnet Logistics has the equipment and the expertise to service all state-of-the-art product modification requirements at the fastest possible turnaround. 

Programming service equipment 

Avnet Logistics programming department supports devices for all applications: Microcontrollers, Flash, FPGAs, EEPROMs, PROMs, EPROMs and PLDs. Serial and parallel pick and place handling systems ensure precision processing of all package and device types, including (T) QFP, (µ) BGA, TSOP, SON, SOIC, PLCC and DIL.

Automated programming equipment can handle components from and to tubes, trays or tapes. Various manual programming stations are ideal for exotic devices that require special adapters.

Various universal and manual programmers

Vacuum oven for baking (drying) moisture-sensitive devices at low temperature. Oven for burn-in tests and component screening. Equipment for Dry-pack and Vacuum incl. Nitrogen flooding.   

Tape & reel

Avnet Logistics uses fully automated or manual tape equipment. Tape & Reel services encompass repacking products from trays and tubes onto reels as well as unreeling products and repacking them onto trays or tubes. These services are available as add-on to programming orders, but also as stand-alone services.

To ensure highest possible quality, state of the art 3D optical inspection systems are employed to measure the lead integrity and lead co-planarity. 
All materials and processes are in accordance with the EIA481D standard. On request, full peel-force test documentation is on-hand with every tape as well as Certificates of Compliance (CoC) for every tape material in use.

Benefits of laser marking

  • High throughput
  • No manual handling
  • Low cost
  • Heat resistant
  • Consistent quality
  • No glue residues

Our equipment includes in-line systems integrated in pick and place machines as well as stand-alone laser markers. Using full-automatic tray and tube feeders, no manual handling of parts is necessary.

Labels

Labels are chosen for small quantities, samples or prototypes. 
Labels must be designed individually, printed and manually applied. They are sensitive to heat and other environmental influences as well as limited by the component size. Polyester labels are commonly used. Kapton™ labels are heat resistant up to 260 ºC and eligible for reflow soldering of SMD devices - however high priced. Labels are suitable for reels, tubes and trays, if components are too small to be labelled or laser marked.

Laser marking equipment

  • 1 YAG-lasers with tray handler
  • 1 YAG-lasers with tube handler
