High-Precision SMT Assembly Services for Reliable Electronics Manufacturing

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has become the backbone of modern electronics manufacturing, enabling compact designs, higher component density, and superior electrical performance. At Board Assembly, we provide advanced SMT assembly services designed for prototype development, small-batch runs, and full-scale production. Our expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and commitment to quality ensure your printed circuit boards meet the highest industry standards.

SMT assembly involves placing miniature components directly onto the PCB surface without the need for drilled holes. This allows for faster manufacturing, reduced board size, and the ability to integrate complex circuitry into smaller devices. At Board Assembly, our automated pick-and-place SMT machines provide exceptional accuracy, ensuring precise positioning of even the smallest components such as micro-BGAs, 01005 packages, and high-pin-count ICs.

For every project, we begin with a thorough design and documentation review to ensure manufacturability. Our engineering team evaluates your Gerber files, BOM, and assembly drawings to verify compatibility with our SMT processes. This helps prevent redesign costs, minimize delays, and ensure seamless transition from prototype to production.

This ensures proper solder volume, which is critical for component adhesion and long-term performance. Our automated reflow ovens use multi-zone temperature profiling to ensure consistent solder joints across every PCB. Whether your project requires leaded or RoHS-compliant lead-free soldering, Board Assembly adheres to strict temperature controls that guarantee reliability.

Quality assurance is a core part of our SMT assembly workflow. Every PCB undergoes AOI inspection, verifying solder joints, polarity, bridging, component alignment, and placement accuracy. For boards with hidden joints like BGAs, we perform X-ray inspection to evaluate internal connections. These extra steps ensure long-term durability and minimize field failure risks.

Whether you are developing medical devices, IoT solutions, consumer products, industrial equipment, or aerospace electronics, our SMT assembly capabilities support a wide range of applications. Combined with our additional services—such as conformal coating, box build assembly, and potting & encapsulation—we offer complete turnkey solutions to support your entire production lifecycle.

Cable Harness Assembly

ACME PCB Assembly Offers Cable Harness Services

Cable Assemblies include one or more wires that run together in a single sleeve with a connector or plug on each end.  Cable assemblies could be groups of wires or cables bundled together.  They are wrapped in a thermoplastic or vinyl sleeve, cable assemblies are ideal for directing groups of wires and cables around obstacles.

Cable assemblies are designed to perform specific functions that is determined by the plugs, terminals, and connectors that are found on each end.  They are used in most electronic applications, everything from flat panel displays to the automotive electronic system to integrated cockpit systems to simple LED lighted clothing, costumes and accessories.

What Do You Use Cable Assemblies For?

Cable assemblies intersect or interconnect different circuits or electrical paths, so they work together to transmit signals or power.  They usually only have two ends to connect point A to point B.

Ethernet Cable HarnessFor example, ethernet cable assemblies are designed to provide service supporting bandwidth speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, such as large data centers, military field units, and medical facilities.  For those applications that require a lightweight, smaller assembly that can transmit clearly and rapidly over great distances, support greater bandwidths, with high voltage isolation, then fiber optic cable assemblies would meet those needs.  A few of the industries that utilize fiber optic cable assemblies, include aerospace, automotive, industrial, medical, and military applications.

Cable harnesses are more complex in nature and may require different machinery and tools to be consistent with production. Creating slits and windows in cables demand specialized equipment to handle the various conductors within the insulation.  We

Located in Carson, California, ACME PCB Assembly utilizes top of the line technology from Schleuniger to perfectly cut, strip, and process any wire or cable you need. After 25 plus years in the business, ACME PCB Assembly has the experience to be your contract manufacturer for cable & wire harness projects.

Conformal Coating Spray

The Growing Importance of Conformal Coating in PCB Protection

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are at the heart of modern electronics—but as devices become smaller, more powerful, and more widely used in harsh environments, protecting these sensitive components has become more critical than ever. That’s where conformal coating in PCB protection steps in as a game-changer.

Whether it’s a consumer product exposed to daily wear or a military-grade device deployed in extreme climates, PCBs need an added layer of protection. Conformal coating provides exactly that: a thin, durable film that safeguards electronics from moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes without compromising performance or size.

Solder Mask on Printed Circuit BoardsWhat Is Conformal Coating?

conformal coating maskingconformal coating maskingConformal coating is a protective chemical layer applied to the surface of a PCB to create a barrier against environmental contaminants. It’s “conformal” because it conforms to the shape of the board and its components, coating even hard-to-reach areas without needing bulky enclosures.

At Board Assembly, we apply conformal coatings using precise, industry-approved techniques that ensure full coverage without interfering with the function or accessibility of electronic parts.

Why Is Conformal Coating Becoming More Important?

As electronics continue to expand into sectors like automotive, aerospace, defense, and IoT devices, the environments these PCBs operate in are becoming more unpredictable and challenging.

Here are a few key reasons conformal coating is gaining traction:

  • Moisture & Corrosion Resistance: In humid or marine environments, moisture can cause corrosion, short-circuits, and long-term failure. Conformal coatings seal off the PCB surface, keeping moisture at bay.

  • Chemical Protection: In industrial settings, exposure to cleaning agents, fuels, or harsh chemicals is common. A conformal coating acts as a shield, preventing chemical damage.

  • Dust & Debris Protection: For electronics in outdoor or manufacturing environments, dust accumulation can hinder performance. Coatings protect against particulate buildup.

  • Extended Product Life: By protecting the PCB from environmental damage, conformal coatings significantly increase product reliability and longevity—essential for industries where equipment failure is not an option.

Applications Across Industries

From automotive control units to aerospace avionics, and from wearable medical devices to outdoor smart home systems, conformal coating in PCB protection is now a standard best practice in many industries. As miniaturization and high-performance demands increase, protective coatings are no longer optional—they’re essential.

Why Work With Board Assembly?

At Board Assembly, we offer advanced PCB assembly solutions that include precision-applied conformal coatings to ensure your product performs reliably in any environment. Whether you need protection from moisture, vibration, chemicals, or dust, our team ensures your PCB is ready for real-world conditions.
