Description

EPA Electronic Packaging Associates 300BB IC/Hybrid Lead Finisher 100-Pin Flat Pack

The Electronic Packaging Associates (EPA) 300BB is a precision IC/Hybrid Lead Finisher designed for forming and finishing the leads of 100-pin flat pack integrated circuits and hybrid packages. The tool is pneumatically and logic-operated, providing controlled, repeatable lead forming strokes for surface-mount component preparation. It is constructed from blue anodized aluminum with stainless steel forming plates and a precision linear guide rail assembly. The unit ships with its original wooden carrying case fitted with a custom foam cutout insert.

Applications

The EPA 300BB Lead Finisher is used in electronics manufacturing and SMT (surface-mount technology) assembly lines for the precise forming, straightening, and finishing of IC leads on flat pack packages. Lead finishing tools like the 300BB ensure that component leads are accurately formed to the correct pitch, coplanarity, and profile before placement on PCBs, which is critical for solder joint quality and automated pick-and-place compatibility. Electronic Packaging Associates was a recognized specialist in surface-mounted component technology, and the Model 300 series was aimed at production and rework environments handling ceramic or metal flat pack ICs and hybrid microelectronic assemblies — package types common in aerospace, defense electronics, and high-reliability commercial semiconductor manufacturing from the 1980s onward. This type of tooling is still relevant in legacy defense and aerospace depot maintenance, hybrid microelectronics rework, and precision electronics assembly shops that handle flat pack components.

Condition: Used
This Electronic Packaging Associates 300BB IC/Hybrid Precision Lead Finisher has been inspected and appears to be in good condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. The blue anodized aluminum body is clean with light handling marks consistent with normal use. The forming plates, linear guide rail, pneumatic shaft, and adjustment knob mechanism all look intact and undamaged in our photos. The wooden carrying case is included, with its foam cutout insert holding the tool securely. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
