A rapid prototype PCB assembly facility is available for both single sided PCBs and double sided / multilayer PCBs
Cephos has facilities for PCB enclosure / chassis design and fabrication in sheet metal; aluminium, powder-coated
mild steel and stainless steel. 19inch rack fascias can be fabricated with bespoke connector
/ switch apertures and either laser engraved or finished with vinyl overlays designed
in-house and can incorporate integral membrane switches.
In-house EPROM / EEPROM / GAL / etc.
device programming facilities available.
Cephos can assist in the design and development of a new or existing electronic or
electro-mechanical project, skilled in surface mount technology (smt) and
conventional component designs (pth), as your contractor project partner Cephos
can undertake the development of your electronic project design from
initial concept through prototype and production to final assembly and
testing.
Aluminium
cored pcb's a speciality. Aluminium backed PCBs are a necessity with
the high power LED devices available in the market-place today, Cephos can
assist in the design, manufacture, assembly and test of your LED lighting
requirements. Cephos LED lighting design services include circuit design,
PCB layout for optimum thermal considerations and power supply requirement.

EMC at Component and PCB Level - by Martin O 'Hara
Synopsis:
This book provides the knowledge and good design practice for the design or test engineer to take the necessary measures to improve EMC performance and therefore
the chance of achieving compliance, early on in the design process. There are many advantages for both the component supplier and consumer, of looking at EMC
at component and PCB level. For the suppliers, not only will their products have the competitive edge because they have known EMC performance, but they will be
prepared should EMC compliance become mandatory in the future. For consumers, it is a distinct advantage to know how a component will behave within a system
with regard to EMC. This book shows how to achieve EMC compliance early on in the design process; provides the knowledge to trace system EMC performance problems;
and, follows best design practices.
Printed Circuit Board Design Techniques for EMC Compliance: A Handbook for Designers (IEEE Press Series on Electronics Technology) by Mark I Montrose;
Synopsis:
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an engineering discipline often identified as black magic. This belief exists because the fundamental mechanisms on how radio
frequency (RF) energy is developed within a printed circuit board (PCB) is not well understood by practicing engineers. Rigorous mathematical analysis is not required to
design a PCB. Using basic EMC theory and converting complex concepts into simple analogies helps engineers understand the mitigation process that deters EMC events
from occurring. This user-friendly reference covers a broad spectrum of information never before published, and is as fluid and comprehensive as the first edition.
The simplified approach to PCB design and layout is based on real-life experience, training, and knowledge. Printed Circuit Board Techniques for EMC Compliance,
Second Edition will help prevent the emission or reception of unwanted RF energy generated by components and interconnects, thus achieving acceptable levels of EMC
for electrical equipment. It prepares one for complying with stringent domestic and international regulatory requirements. Also, it teaches how to solve complex problems
with a minimal amount of theory and maths.
Essential topics discussed include: Introduction to EMC - Interconnects and I/O PCB basics - Electrostatic discharge protection - Bypassing and decoupling - Backplanes - Ribbon
Cables - Daughter Cards - Clock Circuits - Trace Routing - Terminations - Miscellaneous design techniques This rules-driven book, formatted for quick access and
cross-reference, is ideal for electrical and EMC engineers, consultants, technicians, and PCB designers regardless of experience or educational background.

Optimal Production Planning for PCB Assembly (Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing) by William Ho, Ping Ji;
Synopsis:
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) play a vital role in our daily lives. With increasing applications of PCBs, one way to increase a PCB manufacturer's competitiveness in terms
of operation efficiency is to minimize production time. This is the first book to focus on the optimisation of the PCB assembly lines' efficiency. It integrates the component
sequencing and the feeder arrangement problems together for the pick-and-place machine and the chip shooter machines; constructs mathematical models and develops
an effective heuristic solution approach for the integrated problems of placement machines, the line assignment problem, and the component allocation problem; and develops
a prototype of the PCB assembly planning system. The techniques proposed will enable process planners in the electronics industry to improve their assembly line's
efficiency. Graduate students in operations research can use this to familiarise themselves with the techniques and applications of mathematical modelling.
