Lead-Free PCB Assembly: We offer cutting-edge lead-free PCB assemblies (Pb-Free) and RoHS-compliant circuit board assemblies, providing options for no-clean or water-clean fluxes.
Leaded PCB Assembly: Despite the predominant use of lead-free processes, we continue to support PCB assembly with lead-based solder processes, offering choices for no-clean or water-clean fluxes.
PCB Board Component Assembly Capabilities
Including 01005 Component Placement and PoP (Package on Package)
We possess comprehensive capabilities for assembling SMT/SMD, through-hole, and mixed-technology PCB assemblies. Our surface mount PCB assembly proficiency encompasses BGA, uBGA, 01005 component placements, PoP (package on package), and assembly of leadless devices. We have successfully executed highly demanding PoP (package on package) assemblies, achieving BGA placements with pitches as fine as 0.25 mm.
Prototype PCB Printed Circuit Board Assembly
PCB prototype printed circuit board assembly and manufacturing refers to the process of creating a limited quantity of printed circuit boards (PCBs) for testing, validation, or small-scale PABA production. PCB assembly for prototype and production allows engineers and developers to translate electronic designs into physical boards with soldered components for testing functionality and identifying errors.

User Guide for a Lead-Free/RoHS-compliant PCB assembly
- Printed Circuit Board/Circuit Card: Make sure to have your PCB vendor fabricate boards for lead-free / RoHS compliance. Make sure the PCB board manufacturer uses materials that can withstand the additional heat and can make multiple passes through processing without problems.
- Components: Your Bill-of-Materials must specify only RoHS compliant parts. The components in your kit must all meet lead-free and RoHS standards. The components must be able to withstand the higher temperatures required in the manufacturing process. Even for RoHS-compliant components, some of them cannot sustain high temperature. Please make sure to notify us if any component is heat sensitive.
- Ball Grid Arrays: Ensure the solder balls of the BGA are lead-free type. Soldering a lead-based solder ball BGA at lead-free reflow temperatures will fail.
- Moisture Sensitivity: Ensure components are kept in RoHS compliant storage packaging to prevent moisture. If any unopened package exceeds the expiration date or is being opened, these components will need to be properly baked to remove the excess moisture before manufacturing.
In summary, we offer PCBA, PCB/SMT/SMD assembly, quick-turn PCB prototype assembly, PCB printed circuit board assembly, and related services to OEM customers.
