PCB Assembly
FermionX has an extensive PCB assembly service capability which allows us to successfully support from basic to the most complex circuit design, tailored to suit your requirements.
Our PCB (printed circuit boards) assembly services include:
- Surface mount assembly
- Conventional PCB assembly
- Sub-assemblies
- Quality control
- Full inspection and test
We have developed stringent controls to help identify areas to streamline electronic contract manufacturing procurement. This means our customers benefit from price stability and a reduced number of components to stock and manage.
Our PCB Assembly Services
Our PCB assembly manufacturing process is built for flexibility.
We support complex electronic designs, using our surface mount technology to place anything from 01005 resisters to an FBGA with 896 balls. As well as offering traditional thru-hole placement/conventional PCB assembly, we adopt the following methods for our PCB assembly processes:
Surface mount PCB assembly:
We have the flexibility of 3 surface mount production lines to suit a range of product complexities.
Conventional PCB assembly:
Combining the use of our mascot, alongside both selective and flow solder machines to complement traditional hand-soldering
PCB conformal coating:
We have both selective coating machine alongside traditional hand spray-coating. Conformal coating protects components from factors such as moisture, dust, salt, chemicals, temperature changes and abrasion.
AOI/Visual Inspection:
Boards are inspected using a Mantis or ASH Inspex HD 1080p camera system. As well as an FX 940 Automated Optical Inspection.
X-ray PCB inspection:
For components that can’t be inspected visually due to hidden pads, such as ball grid array (BGA) or quad flat no-lead (QFN). Also used to inspect solder fill/voiding, IC bond wires and PCB tracks/via’s.
Get in touch today to discuss your electronic contract manufacturing and supply chain management requirements.
PCB Assembly Process
Once we have received your completed documentation, your project will be reviewed by our process control manager before being costed via our expert supply chain team. Lead times and component availability will be discussed at this point.
Once the PCB design files have been through contract review and the quote has been agreed, they are then reviewed by our engineering and process control team to finalise data for production.
Our sales and aftercare team are on hand to provide updates and answer any queries during the quote, PCB manufacturing process, and after you receive your PCB products.
