My boss wants to get into assemblying some simple PCBs that we use in our products in house. The boards are single layer, all throughhole resistors and transistors. As the only EE here, I've been charged with getting that all set up.
Its low quantity stuff (<1000 boards/year) and the boards are no bigger than 3"x3".
I figure we'll need a couple soldering stations at first. I was thinking of these: Circuit Specialists Inc. - BlackJack SolderWerks Soldering Station + Free BK486 Fan (BK2000F)
I bought my soldering station from them a few years ago and havent had a problem. I figure I'd try to keep the costs down at first, then upgrade later once things get going.
The usual hand tools: pliers, side cutters, solder sucker.
A few board holder vise thingys.
Is there anything else I need? I'm sure I'm forgetting something...
