Solder thermal profiles for PPAP - Automotive

[Ed_Porter]

Hello all:
Looking for advice.

I work for a Tier 1 automotive supplier that manufactures shifter assemblies and electronic transmission pump controls.

Our OEM customer is now requiring solder thermal profiles from out process and from our suppliers that supplier PCBAs. This used to be proprietary information. Has anyone here ran into this, and how did you handle it?

Thank you in advance.

Most PCB assembly shops consider profiles to be proprietary. I would push back. If the customer insists, make the information something that can only be viewed at your company.

Viewing at the supplier’s site only is something other cove posts have recommended for proprietary information.
