Printed Circuit Board Assembly Capabilities

PCBs are essential components in numerous electronic devices. These boards are assemblies made up of various elements including an insulating base, a substrate, layers of copper foil, and a panel or board equipped with connection pads and wires. Essentially, the process of creating a PCB involves integrating these wired circuits onto the board, which is then connected to the corresponding electronic device. There are various techniques for mounting these assemblies, such as surface mounting, plated through-hole mounting, and electromechanical mounting.

Our facility employs advanced SMT and through-hole equipment and processes. Our skilled personnel can manufacture high-quality, dependable products efficiently, ranging from prototype through to high-volume assembly.

PCB Assembly Process Competences

Traceability

We utilize a proprietary MES that integrates seamlessly with both our ERP system and production equipment, facilitating online data exchanges. This system enables complete traceability, supports paperless documentation and revision management, and provides real-time visibility into production execution.

Workmanship

Assel adheres to the IPC standards for Class 2 and Class 3, which are vital benchmarks in the electronic assembly services industry. Our team undergoes continual training in IPC programs, and we benefit from having an IPC-certified trainer available on-site.

Lead-Time Management

Through our enhanced MRP2 processes and robust planning capabilities, we effectively reduce lead times for electronic assembly materials. This approach also helps us accommodate unexpected orders from your clients and reduce the risk of project delays.

Prototyping

We offer prototype builds as part of our PCBA service, complemented by product evaluation services such as Design for Manufacturability (DfM) and component engineering. We also provide procurement services to streamline the process.

Conformal Coating

For products operating in challenging conditions, we offer specialized protective measures, including selective conformal coating with spray width control and potting using electronically controlled epoxy or polyurethane dosing.

Test and Inspection

Our PCBA service encompasses thorough inspection and testing capabilities. These include inline 3D AOI and 3D SPI, X-ray examination, functional testing, in-circuit testing (ICT), safety testing (burn-in and Hi-Pot), and environmental testing (climate control and shock).
