PC Board Assembly Capabilities

REQUIRED READING:

Capabilities listed under "Standard Assembly Process" can be easily quoted and ordered online from our QUOTE/ORDER page.
Jobs that fall outside of our "Standard Assembly Process" or are listed under "Special Process" require that you call us first before placing the order. We will evaluate and determine if we are capable of performing the operation and what extra charges or extra time will be involved.

Quantity
  • Prototypes pcb assembly and pre-production pc board assembly.
  • Typically 1 to 100, May change depending on the number and type of parts on the board.
  • Regular Production pc board assembly in quantities from 100 – 5000 / run. May change depending on the number and type of parts on the board.
Solder Type
  • No-clean flux
  • Leaded Solder
    • Paste: Kester EP256
    • Wire: Kester 245
  • Pb-Free Solder
    • Paste: Kester EM907
    • Wire: Kester 275
      (core 58)
  • Customer specified solder paste
Componentry
  • Passives down to 0201 size. *0201 parts require 50% spares
  • Double sided SMT (surface mount assembly)
  • BGA and microBGA to 20 mil pitch
  • Ball count to 1728
  • Leadless chip carriers/CSP
  • Single sided BGA
  • Fine pitch to 15 mils. Note that 20 mil or narrower center to center spacing is considered fine pitch.
  • Parts up to 2.2 x 2.2 x0.6 in
  • Double sided BGA
  • BGA to 12 mil pitch
  • Fine pitch to 8 mils
  • Ball count > 1728
  • Press-fit connectors: These require special fixturing which we do not have. In general, we can't assemble them unless you send us a fixture or pay for the cost of creating one.
  • Cables and wires: Call. We don't stock crimp tools. Wires may incur an extra charge or we may not be able to assemble them.
PCB Layer Count
  • Up to 8 layers
  • More than 8 layers
PCB Finish
  • Tin, Gold, ENIG, Silver, leaded, SMOBC/HAL

 
  • Hard Gold, OSP, lead-free OSP, lead-free HAL
  • No silkscreen
  • No solder mask
PCB Size
  • Smallest: 0.75 x 0.75 in
  • Largest: 14.5 x 19.5
  • Smallest: 0.3 x 0.3 in
  • Largest: > 14.5 x 19.5 in
PCB Board Thickness
  • Min: 16 mils
  • Max: 240 mils
  • Min: 10 mil
  • Max: > 240 mil
PCB Copper Thickness
  • Less than 2 oz
  • Equal to or greater than 2 oz
PCB material
  • Rigid, Rogers 4000
  • Other rigid constructions, such as: Ceramic, metal core.
  • Rigid Flex
  • Flex Circuits
Data
  • Bill of Materials
  • RS-274X Gerber files 
  • Centroid file
  • Panelized boards require panel data
  • Centroid not provided.
  • Boards that are family panelized
Service Level
  • Kitted
  • Turnkey or Partial Turnkey
Profiling
  • Standard Oven Profile
  • Oven profile created for each build
Component presentation
  • One job per box or box set
  • Reels
  • Tube
  • Short strips*
  • Trays
  • Thru-hole on tape
  • Thru-hole bulk
  • Bulk or loose SMT: We do not recommend this. It's usually more expensive and risks damage to the parts. Call first.
  • Kit with parts for more than one order number: mixing kits will likely cause delays and incur extra charges
We use the latest machines for our surface mount assembly and keep the personal touch with individual inspection of each pc board we assemble. *We work directly with cut strips from DigiKey, Mouser and other small quantity component suppliers.
