Federal Electronics Expands Selective Soldering Capabilities
October 8, 2025
EMS provider Federal Electronics has installed a new Pillarhouse Jade S-200 MKII selective solder system at its Hermosillo, Mexico, facility, strengthening its ability to support high-mix, high-complexity assemblies.
With one system now dedicated to lead solder and the other to lead-free, the company says the site can better accommodate diverse customer requirements for high-mix, high-complexity assemblies.
The Jade MKII is designed for small- to medium-batch production, where precision, repeatability, and production flexibility are critical. The hand-load platform is equipped with a universally adjustable tooling carrier that accommodates PCBs or pallets up to 457mm x 508mm (18” x 20”). Pillarhouse’s Drop-Jet design fluxer provides fast, effective flushing of the pressurised flux chamber. This minimises maintenance while supporting a range of flux types, including high solid content and water-soluble fluxes.
“Selective soldering is an important part of our capability set, especially for customers with high-reliability requirements,” said Ed Evangelista, President of Federal Electronics, in a press release. “With these installations, we’re enhancing both flexibility and process control, ensuring that we can meet customer needs efficiently and consistently.”
