PCB Assembly USA - OurPCB

We use a tried and trusted PCB assembly process to ensure consistent quality and reliability for every PCB. Here’s how it works.

1. Design and Pre-Assembly

   Our PCB assembly capabilities begin with a thorough design consultation and review, where we collaborate closely with you to ensure that your designs are ready for manufacturing.

   We do a comprehensive design for manufacturing (DFM) check to optimize the assembly process and reduce costs. This includes a detailed review of the PCB design and sourcing components through client-provided materials, our extensive in-house inventory, or trusted suppliers. If PC board fabrication is required, we use our in-house manufacturing services to produce high-quality bare boards.

2. Assembly Line Setup

   Our factory assembly line setups involve a strategic combination of automated and manual processes. Automated systems, such as pick-and-place machines, precisely position surface-mount components onto the board, while reflow ovens use controlled heat to solder these components in place.

   Manual assembly may be used for larger or more delicate components, as well as thru-hole components that need to be inserted and soldered by hand. Advanced equipment like wave soldering machines, automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, and in-circuit testing (ICT) further streamline the process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency for your PCBs.

   The specific configuration of the assembly line depends on factors like production volume, complexity of the PCB design, and budget constraints.

3. Quality Assurance and Testing

   We take rigorous quality control measures throughout the process. This includes visual inspections to identify any defects or misplaced components, AOI to precisely check for soldering issues, and X-ray inspections to verify hidden connections.

   We also use ICT to assess component functionality and electrical connections. Functional testing verifies that the assembled PCB operates as intended by simulating real-world conditions and checking for proper electrical performance. These combined methods ensure PCBs meet the highest quality standards and perform reliably in their intended applications.

4. Delivery

   Our dedicated team is committed to ensuring your order is processed and shipped promptly, with a focus on delivering on time, every time. We understand the importance of timely delivery and strive to exceed your expectations throughout the shipping process.

   Our lead time ranges from 4 to 25 days, depending on the complexity of your PCBs, the volume, whether you need hard-to-find components, and the materials you choose. Get an instant quote for the most accurate information on lead time.
