CALGARY, AB – Trilogy-NET Inc., an EMS company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is pleased to announce it has added a second Vapor Phase to its manufacturing capabilities.

Vapor Phase Reflow addresses manufacturing challenges when it comes to heavy copper, smaller component size (of 001005 or less), IC of pitch of .25 mm. An alternative to the 10+ zone convention involves a costly nitrogen-added process. Vapor Phase Reflow is done in an oxygen-free environment, is completely inert, provides even heat distribution, and eliminates extended high-temperature exposure in the manufacturing process. https://www.trilogy-net.com/vapor-phase reflow

“Many clients have approached us, over the years, to assist in the competitive design of their products, requiring smaller component size, unique substrates including Flex circuit, and higher quality solder for critical environments,” Jose Pineda, Production Manager, states. “Our Eng/R&D team has worked with clients coming up with manufacturing solutions, and after much research, we know Vapor Phase is a very cost-effective alternative. Well, our main business is supporting mainstream “normal” electronics, prototyping, and production, we enjoy giving our Engineering department some challenges”. This is what makes us “The Measuring Stick” in PCB assembly.

Trilogy-NET is an EMS company that has been in business since 2000, supporting customers globally through its manufacturing and distribution operations.
