Our goal is to provide your company with exactly what you want. This means that if all you require is a contract manufacturer, then that is what we provide. If you need more, we’ve got your back.

Our production capabilities range from prototyping and low volume production runs to high volume production runs. We are capable of Fine Pitch Surface Mount Technology, Ball Grid Array (BGA) Technology, Plated-Through-Hole Technology, and Mixed Technology.

Our production process is pretty much just like any other company in our field. Everyone has to start with getting the solder on the board, and finish with the board coming out of the oven. The difference is in our attention to detail. Our process includes an inspection at every step of the way. After the solder paste is applied, the board is visually inspected for consistency of solder application, as well as the accuracy of the solder application. When the pick and place machine is finished with the board, prior to the board conveying into the oven, we inspect the board for any problems. This is not to imply we have a flawless process. We simply put every effort forth to minimize any problems.

Upon completion of the reflow process, the boards are taken in racks to the Assembly Department. At this point, the boards are broken up into manageable batches and assigned serial numbers as well as a batch number for our in-house tracking purposes. In the Assembly Department, any hand-placed parts are installed onto the board. This includes large caps, voltage regulators and heatsinks, jumpers, keypads, displays, etc… Completed batches are brought to the Technical Department for inspection and testing. Please see the Inspection & Testing page for more info on this step. The last step in our production process is a final quality check. This is for aesthetic purposes as well as to simply verify the product “looks right” before it gets put into a box and sent to our client.
