EVERY CONNECTION, CONSIDEREDSCHEMATIC / NOT TO SCALE

03 / PRECISION IN EVERY CONNECTION

BGA and Complex Package Assembly

When connections disappear beneath the package, process control matters even more. We bring placement, soldering and inspection into one connected approach.

04 / FROM FILES TO FINISHED BOARDS

Our PCB Assembly Process

One considered approach, from your design files to a carefully verified assembly.

Plan your next build
  1. 01

    UNDERSTAND THE BOARD

    Design and BOM Review

    Design files, bill of materials, packages and volumes. Understand the board before defining the build.

  2. 02

    DEFINE THE BUILD

    Sourcing and Process Planning

    Align sourcing, assembly methods, finishing and inspection with the needs of your product.

  3. 03

    CONNECT THE COMPONENTS

    PCB Assembly and Soldering

    Controlled placement and soldering, with SMT and through-hole capabilities for mixed-technology builds.

  4. 04

    VERIFY THE RESULT

    Inspection and Testing

    Optical and X-ray inspection, alongside agreed testing, to assess the connections that matter.

05 / QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE BUILD

PCB Inspection and Verification

SURFACE ASSESSMENT

Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)

Automated optical inspection supports assessment of visible components and assembly features.

HIDDEN CONNECTIONS

X-ray Inspection

Look beneath packages to evaluate solder joints that optical inspection cannot see.
