MyRO ERP Version 3.0 Released
MyRO ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is our digital system which controls our entire work flow of your orders on PCB, PCBA, FPC, Stencil and components. This software system is essential to ensure our quality of service and timely delivery. The first version of MyRO ERP was launched back in 2002.
At MyRO, we constantly look for a more convenient, efficient way to service our customers’ needs. In the EpTech trade show in Toronto in April, a customer asked me,
“What’s the magic lead time which gives me the lowest price?”
Further conversation revealed that checking the price of different lead time is a pain in filling in the ordering form. We listened and removed the “Lead Time” field, and provided a table of pricing based on 1~6 days of lead time. You can simply compare and choose the lead time which is right for you. It’s also one less field to fill in.“Well then, what about lead time beyond 6 days?”
The pricing reflects the effort in completing a job in the specified lead time. Normally, we can schedule the work properly in our work queue within 6 days. However, when a large number of orders rush in in a short period, a 15 days lead time may have a better price. We’d love to hear from you about how you like or hate the system. This will help us serve your better.

What is a Countersink Hole & How to Use it on PCB Pads
Many people are perplexed by countersink holes (often called sink hole or countersunk hole) on PCB boards. Indeed these terms deserve a good explanation.
A countersunk hole is simply a normal right cylindrical through-hole with an additional right conical section removed on the top. The cone angle is typically 82 or 100 degrees. A related term is counterbore hole which has an additional flat-bottomed hole. The following are two cross-section diagrams, courtesy of Wikipedia.
On a PCB pad, countersink or counterbore holes can be plated for unplated.
A common usage of countersink or counterbore holes is to allow the head of a countersunk bolt or screw, when placed in the hole, to sit flush with or below the surface of the surrounding material.
Countersink/counterbore holes are commonly used for mounting to ensure the clearance is sufficient where vertical space is very tight. Plated countersink/counterbore holes are also used for chassis ground contact.
In manufacturing pads with countersink/counterbore holes, special precision drilling is required. Many PCB manufacturers do not have the capability drilling countersink/counterbore holes. At MyRO, we have advanced drilling machines which can produce perfect countersink/counterbore holes to your specification.
