Zierick Manufacturing Corporation (Mt. Kisco, NY) has added to its Surf-Shooter SMT product line. A new loose piece board stacking connector feeder is designed to mount to a flexible placement system (flex cell) with the result of presenting SMT components at feed rates greater than 3 pins/second.
According to the company, the unit is compact, less than 4" wide, and mounts to the placement system feeder bay. The feeder itself is a self-contained unit, Standard Voltage 110VAC 60 Cycle, Optional 220 VAC 50 Cycle. It typically requires no electronic control interface with the placement machine.

The company says its board stacking connectors are self-centering and offer co-planarity within 0.001", eliminating alignment problems. The connectors are designed to use minimal real estate, allowing additional components to be placed on the PCB and providing design flexibility. Further, for more reliable connection, the board stacking connectors use capillary action, which provides stronger solder joints.
The company says its Surf-Shooter SMT line has been successfully integrated into most flex cell placement systems, including Siemens, Universal, Mydata and Europlacer.
