Surface Mount

SMT Assembly

High-speed surface-mount technology for dense, miniaturized PCB designs. Our automated SMT lines handle everything from 01005 chip components to fine-pitch BGA packages with closed-loop positional feedback on every placement cycle. Ideal for high-density digital boards, IoT devices, and consumer electronics where component density and repeatability are critical.

Minimum component: 01005 (0.4 mm x 0.2 mm) chip resistors and capacitors
BGA pitch: Down to 0.3 mm with X-ray verification on every joint
Placement rate: Up to 75,000 CPH across 6 high-speed lines
Max PCB: 510 mm x 460 mm, up to 32 layers, 3D AOI on every board

Through-Hole

DIP Assembly

Precision through-hole assembly for connectors, transformers, electrolytic capacitors, relays, and high-power components that demand mechanical strength and thermal resilience. Our wave and selective soldering lines run lead-free by default, with conformal coating available for harsh-environment applications.

Wave soldering: Lead-free process capable of handling boards up to 600 mm x 500 mm
Selective soldering: Precision nozzle soldering for mixed-technology boards with SMT components on the bottom side
Conformal coating: In-house acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane coating for moisture, dust, and chemical protection
Inspection: AOI plus manual visual inspection per IPC-A-610 Class 3 criteria on every joint

Hybrid Technology

Mixed Assembly

Many real-world PCB designs require both SMT and through-hole components on the same board. Our mixed assembly service manages the full process sequence — SMT printing, placement, and reflow first, followed by through-hole insertion and selective soldering — so you do not need to split your order across multiple vendors. One board, one process, one accountable partner.

Process sequencing: SMT-first workflow with selective soldering for through-hole components, avoiding thermal damage to surface-mount parts
Component coverage: Full range from 01005 SMT passives to heavy-leaded through-hole connectors and transformers
Testing: Full functional test capability including boundary scan, in-circuit test, and custom test fixture development
Box build: Complete electromechanical assembly, enclosure integration, cable harness, labeling, and final packaging
