Bob,

Thanks for such a detailed answer.  This sure gives me a lot to think
about.  But, do you think that with a board with 25 components (mostly
0603) $15 is a reasonable cost for the CM to assemble the boards if
they buy the parts in 500 quantities?  There is no extra electrical
testing just a visual.


Thanks again,
