The Foundation of Your Electronic Product
Wondering what is PCB assembly and how does the process work? PCB assembly is the process of placing and securing electronic components onto a printed circuit board so it can perform its intended function. At Cirtronics, printed circuit board assembly is often the starting point for the more complex subassemblies and complete systems we build for our customers.
We have the equipment, know-how and capacity to assemble boards for quality-sensitive projects, including products used in medical technology, robotics, military and security applications. With multiple production lines and experience manufacturing small to medium-quantity, high-complexity builds, we customize our assembly process to meet the requirements of each customer and their product.
Building, Inspecting and Testing the Board
The exact PCB assembly process depends on the design of the product and specific manufacturing requirements. At Cirtronics, we support both surface mount technology (SMT) and through-hole assembly, along with selective soldering and other production capabilities. Throughout every step of the process, our team keeps detailed documentation and follows carefully controlled procedures to ensure consistent quality.
Inspection and testing are also important aspects of PCB manufacturing. At Cirtronics, we use automated inspection equipment and offer services like in-circuit testing, flying probe, JTAG and functional testing. By combining production, inspection and testing, we can identify potential issues before an assembled board moves into a larger subassembly or full product build.
Supporting Your Product at Every Stage
For many customers, PCB assembly is just one part of the manufacturing process. We can also build the subassemblies that are integrated later into larger products. You can count on us to support complex box builds, mechanical and electromechanical integration, calibration and full-system testing. You can also choose to use our team at Cirtronics for board and subassembly manufacturing, then complete the final product assembly at your own facility.
We can even start helping before production begins through our Transition to Manufacturing services. We work with customers to develop documentation, address sourcing needs and validate efficient build processes. From there, our engineering, supply chain, production, testing, logistics and aftermarket services can be customized to fit your product. Our Precision Engagement® approach helps ensure those services meet your specific manufacturing needs.
