I currently came through a PCB assembler to assemble for my boards. I had 250 boards and wanted to assemble 0402 LEDs on the board. The assembler came back to me after assembling all the boards. They told me that the LEDs were hand soldered due to the reel for the capacitor coming on the opposite direction with respect to their P&P machine. That was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard. I have been running these projects for last 2 years and no one came to me with that type of excuse. They even said that since it was 250 pcs, they couldn't roll the reel by hand on the other way to make it fit with their machine. What kind of assembler does that? Who comes up with these ideas?
