Press-Fit Components
Mechanical & High-Current Components

The manufacturing process is planned according to the PCB design, component packages, soldering requirements, inspection requirements, and production quantity.

Engineering Review Before PCB Assembly

Manufacturing issues are generally easier to resolve before materials are purchased and production is scheduled.

Before quotation or production, our engineering team can review available project information including:

Gerber Files
BOM & Manufacturer Part Numbers
Pick & Place Data
Assembly Drawings
PCB Fabrication Requirements
Component Packages & Footprints
Component Polarity & Orientation
SMT / THT Manufacturability
PCB Panelization
Component Availability
Obsolete / EOL / NRND Components
Programming Requirements
ICT / Functional Test Requirements
Test Point Accessibility
Special Assembly Requirements

For power electronics and high-current PCB assemblies, additional manufacturing considerations may include customer-defined PCB copper requirements, component spacing, thermal requirements, connectors, and assembly process requirements.

Issues identified during review can be discussed before procurement or production.

For projects requiring a more detailed manufacturability review, see our PCB Assembly DFM Review service.

Component Sourcing & Material Models

PCB assembly projects can be supported using different material sourcing models according to customer requirements.

Turnkey PCB Assembly

We coordinate PCB fabrication, component procurement, PCB assembly, inspection, programming, testing, and other agreed manufacturing requirements.

Partial-Turnkey PCB Assembly

Customers may provide selected critical or allocated components while we source the remaining BOM and manage the agreed manufacturing processes.

Consigned PCB Assembly

Customers provide some or all PCB and component materials while we perform the agreed assembly, inspection, programming, testing, or integration processes.

Component substitutions are not made without customer review and approval.

For projects requiring complete material procurement and coordinated manufacturing, see our Turnkey PCB Assembly services.

Inspection & Quality Control

Inspection requirements are defined according to the PCB design, component packages, customer specifications, and manufacturing requirements.

Depending on the project, inspection may include:

Incoming Material Verification
First Article Inspection (FAI)
Solder Paste Inspection (SPI)
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
X-Ray Inspection
In-Process Inspection
Final Quality Verification
ESD / MSD Control
Material Traceability
BOM & PCB Revision Control

X-Ray inspection is available for BGA and other packages with hidden solder joints where required.

Customer-specific inspection and acceptance requirements can be incorporated into the manufacturing plan.

Programming & Functional Testing

Programming and production testing can be incorporated according to project requirements.

Available support may include:

IC / MCU Programming
Firmware Loading
Power-On Verification
In-Circuit Testing (ICT)
Functional Testing (FCT)
Customer-Defined Test Procedures
Existing Test Fixture Integration
Custom Test Fixture Development

For customer-specific functional testing, our engineering team can review test points, operating conditions, measurements, communication interfaces, programming requirements, test procedures, and pass / fail criteria.

If the customer already has an established test fixture or fixture design, the available documentation can be reviewed for implementation in our manufacturing process.

Where required, custom production test fixtures can be developed according to the agreed test requirements.

Prototype, NPI & Repeat Production

Our PCB assembly services support OEM projects from prototype and NPI through pilot and repeat production.

For early builds, manufacturing feedback related to component sourcing, PCB assembly, programming, inspection, testing, and manufacturing documentation can be reviewed before the product moves into repeat production.

For established products, material planning and production scheduling are reviewed according to order quantity, forecast requirements, component lead times, testing requirements, and delivery schedules.
