Omron is not only a switch.

[Feeterican]

This is a board I was working on today at work. I had to add some wire mods to the IC's and piggyback a resistor and cap. Anyhow, I noticed that the Relays where Omron, I thought it just to be a switch company but I guess they make other stuff as well.

Neat! What kind of board is that/where did it come from?

There are some Omron relays in my truck fuse box. They must be a big company.

Looked on their site to see what type of things they make

I'm not to sure what the board does but I guess it's a machine controller of some sort. They don't tell us anything about the boards we work on they just tell us how many we need to do. That job there is 400 boards that I have to mod out and it takes me about a half hour to do all the mods to that board. There is the 2 connectors I have to install and also add a threw hole resister on the back side of the board to one of those legs on the double connector. I have to take off Q3 and Q7 and replace them, there is another resistor I have to piggyback that's on the left side but not in the photo. Add the wires and a new fuse and also the cap on the back that I have to piggyback.

Oh yeah I have to hand place and hand solder that IC to the board using NoClean RoHS solder. Such a nightmare to work with.

Yeah, a lot of large manufacturing companies have product lines in tons of different industries. That way, if one industry slows down, they still make money off of their other product lines.

 

I mean, look at Cherry. They make a ton of stuff other than their mechanical keyboard switches.
