What’s the Difference and When Do You Need Both? When it comes to producing electronic devices, PCB assembly and box build are two essential processes that play different but complementary roles in bringing products to life. While many people are familiar with PCB assembly — where components are mounted on a printed circuit board — box build assembly takes it a step further by creating the finished product that’s ready for market. If you’re wondering

Surface-mount technology requires knowing the entire process that it entails. Surface-mount technology has specific demands for the design process since you need to use special PCB tools. As soon as the design is ready, the manufacturer will always do the testing with a single board first. The prototype we create for you will have the task of confirming that the fabrication based on that design is possible and error-free. Once you confirm that, the entire

What the Heck Is Your PCB Vendor Talking About? – Common Terms for PCB Assembly Every industry has its established lingo, which helps its members communicate more efficiently. If you are on the outside looking in, however, it can seem like they are speaking a foreign tongue. This becomes a problem when you need to work with vendors on ordering printed circuit boards for your device or your prototype. If you’ve gotten lost while trying

Providing Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) Since 1993 The electronic manufacturing services (EMS) industry took off after the late 1970’s. Before this, most electronics manufacturing that was done in large quantity production runs was handled by in-house assembly only. Now, the electronic manufacturing services (EMS) provider offers more flexibility and easier resources to deal with issues for smaller companies who doing limited runs.  An electronic manufacturing services (EMS) provider is able to specialize in large manufacturing,

Acrylic resins (AR) are single component materials. To specify, they are preformed acrylic polymers that are dissolved in a solvent to be applied to surfaces. One main benefit of using an Acrylic conformal coating service on your electronics is it provides an excellent barrier to moisture/humidity and have good fungus resistance. They also have minimal chemical resistance which makes it ideal for reworking and removability. Acrylic Conformal Coating can be easily applied with a brush,
