Proud to Be a Lead-Free PCB Assembly Provider

There is a very good reason why the United States no longer allows lead in paint, plumbing, gasoline, toys, and many household products. Although lead is naturally occurring, it is also a highly toxic metal with serious health consequences. Research has linked lead exposure to behavior and learning difficulties, reduced IQ, slowed growth, anemia, cardiovascular problems, and, in extreme cases, coma or death. Children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable, and even minimal exposure can create long-term neurological and developmental harm.

For many years, lead was widely used in the electronics industry—particularly in soldering printed circuit boards (PCBs). Tin-lead solder was reliable, affordable, and easy to work with, which helped make it the long-standing industry standard. However, as global awareness of lead’s dangers increased, regulators and manufacturers began transitioning toward safer, more environmentally responsible lead-free alternatives.

At ACME PCB Assembly, we are proud to be part of this movement. Our full commitment to lead-free PCB assembly ensures a safer environment for employees and a safer end product for our customers. Switching to lead-free soldering is much more complex than simply changing materials. Lead-free solders melt at higher temperatures, which affects the entire assembly process, equipment requirements, and inspection standards.

Printed Circuit Board FabricationTo meet these demands, we invested in upgraded machinery, re-engineered our soldering and reflow processes, and strengthened temperature control systems to ensure long-term reliability. Just as important, our technicians underwent extensive retraining to understand the different properties, behaviors, and inspection details of lead-free solders. This comprehensive approach allows us to maintain exceptional quality while eliminating a major health and environmental hazard.

Although the transition required time, investment, and new expertise, it was absolutely worth it. Removing lead from our operations gives us a cleaner, healthier workplace and aligns our manufacturing processes with global standards such as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). It also gives our customers confidence that their boards are produced using safe, compliant, and environmentally conscious materials.

Today, ACME PCB Assembly proudly operates as a fully lead-free PCB assembly provider, delivering high-quality, reliable PCBs for industries that demand safety, consistency, and performance. Whether you need prototypes, short production runs, or full-volume assembly, you can count on us to deliver the best results using trusted lead-free technology.

Custom PCB Assembly Solutions for Small and Large Orders

When it comes to bringing an electronic product to market, every component matters—especially the printed circuit board (PCB). At Board Assembly, we specialize in PCB assembly solutions tailored to meet the unique demands of both small and large volume orders. Whether you’re a startup developing your first prototype or an established manufacturer scaling production, having a trusted assembly partner makes all the difference.

PCB Fabrication and AssemblyFlexible PCB Assembly for Every Project Size

Not all projects are created equal. Some begin with low-volume runs for testing or proof of concept, while others require full-scale manufacturing to meet demand. We understand the need for flexibility. That’s why our facility is equipped to handle both ends of the spectrum—from a handful of boards to thousands—all while maintaining tight quality control and fast turnaround times.

Startups and small businesses benefit from our low minimum order quantities and personalized service. If you need help with your design or component sourcing, our experienced team is here to assist you at every step. For larger businesses and production-scale orders, we offer automated processes, scalable workflows, and strict adherence to IPC standards.

Quality, Consistency, and Support

We don’t just assemble circuit boards—we build reliability into your product. Our advanced equipment and trained technicians ensure each board is assembled with precision. Every order, no matter the size, is subjected to rigorous testing and inspection to meet your performance and durability expectations.
