PCB Assembly

Mixed-technology PCB assembly, MOQ 1 pc

Single- and dual-sided SMT plus through-hole on the same floor — and the same engineering team follows your build from prototype to volume. 01005 to 45 × 45 mm ICs, 0.25 mm BGA, IPC-A-610 Class 2 default or Class 3 on request.

DIP & THT

Through-hole without a second vendor

Two DIP lines run wave soldering for volume and selective soldering for mixed boards whose sensitive parts cannot survive a full wave. The SMT side stays on the same traveler, so one build record covers every joint.

How the processes split

  • Wave soldering for high-count through-hole panels; pallets tooled per board.
  • Selective soldering for mixed boards — only the THT joints see solder, at a programmed 300 °C nozzle, while SMD parts 2 mm away stay untouched.
  • Hand soldering to J-STD-001 for connectors, shields and odd-form parts.

Mini case: a mixed-signal board with 180 through-hole parts and a relay rated to 120 °C ran selective on the SMT panel — one pass, no second reflow, 99.4% first pass yield across a 400-pc lot.

Boards that need both worlds leave the line as one build: reflow, wave and selective recorded in the same traveler, so a single traceability file answers customer audits.

Sourcing & BOM health

The BOM is where schedule risk lives

Screened before purchase, verified on arrival, documented at shipment.

Turnkey

Purchased through authorized channels with an EOL/PCN screen per line. Passives carry a 5–10% overage; date-code policy agreed before the PO.

Consignment & partial

Your kits verified line-by-line against the BOM on arrival; shortages and date-code spread reported the same day, before scheduling.

EOL screening

Last-time-buy windows typically run 6–12 months, and some parts go EOL without a PCN. The BOM health check flags both, with alternate parts proposed and data-sheeted.

CoC & traceability

Batch and date-code records attach to every shipment; RoHS/REACH declarations on file. PPAP Level 1–3 packs available for automotive programs.

Test & inspection

Test chosen by volume, not margin

Every board passes 100% AOI and X-ray on hidden joints before electrical test begins.

Flying probe

No fixture cost, programmed from your netlist — the right answer below ~50 pcs, where a bed-of-nails never amortizes.

ICT

Bed-of-nails fixtures for volume repeats; the fixture is amortized across builds and stored with your job file.

FCT

Functional bench test to your procedure, firmware flashing included; results logged per serial number.

Prototype to volume

Same line, same stencil, same record

300+ part numbers are introduced here every year — ramping is a repeat process, not a re-qualification.

1

Quote & DFM

Gerber + BOM in; DFM notes covering pads, stencil, panelization and BOM risk return with pricing in 1 business day.

Your part: confirm service level (turnkey or consignment) and quantities.

2

Turnkey build

Sourcing with EOL screening, SMT and DIP assembly, 100% AOI plus X-ray on hidden joints; prototypes ship in 5–7 working days, 72 h for simple boards.

Your part: approve the DFM response and the acceptance class.

3

Ramp without re-qualification

Volume runs on the same lines with the same stencil, programs and fixtures; the pilot report carries straight into the production traveler.

Your part: release the volume PO against the pilot report.
