PCB Assembly

Quality electronic products demand professional PCB design and assembly based in the U.S.

MicroType Engineering provides a range of PCB assembly services, with different PCB materials and mounting technologies available to suit all applications.

Are you looking for a simple and complete PCB assembly solution? Our integrated service includes all aspects of PCB design and fabrication. From schematic/PCB design and prototyping to final assembly, we create functional PCBs through a seamless development process.

PCB Assembly Solutions

Robust and efficient circuit board designs are the foundation of all electronic components and products.

At MicroType Engineering, we specialize in all aspects of PCB development, including PCB design, PCB prototyping, and PCB assembly. We specialize in high-value, low-mid volume PCB assembly in the range of 1-1000 circuit boards per month.

We design and assemble the following PCB types:

Rigid PCBs: The most common material, used in nearly all PCB fabrication. Strong and cost-effective, FR4 fiberglass is the standard material choice.
Flexible PCBs: Usually made from high-temperature plastic such as Kapton. Used when complex mounting is required. High cost makes these boards less common than FR4.
Metal core PCBs: They help to spread and dissipate heat and protect sensitive board components. A common solution for LED-based boards.

Designing and manufacturing an electronic part or product is a complex and time-consuming task. There are so many variables to account for during the production process, with the wrong decisions likely to cost you time and money. This is especially true for start-ups and small businesses, where a single bad decision can have a severely negative impact.

When PCBs are getting manufactured, problems often arise due to lack of standards, lack of production integrity, and lack of cohesion throughout the design and production process. Whether it’s bad design choices or simply ordering the wrong components, this often results in inefficient designs, expensive development, and unreliable prototypes.

Along with industry expertise and access to advanced production equipment, we provide clear communication and honest feedback throughout the development process. Rather than risk product incompatibility or time-to-market delays, we provide a complete service that leaves nothing to chance.

The MicroType Assembly Process

PCB assembly involves a few discrete stages, with our turnkey approach both fast and easy to manage.

We buy boards, source parts, and assemble PCBs directly for your project. Our designs and assembly capabilities cover through-hole technology (THT) and surface mount technology (SMT).

When you work with MicroType, you can expect consultation, integration, and quality throughout the assembly process:

Bare circuit boards are ordered from one of many trusted fabrication houses.
Solder paste is applied to the bare boards using a high-end DEK screen-printer.
A Phillips “Pick and Place” machine rapidly places all surface-mount components.
The boards go into a large reflow oven that melts the solder and attaches the components.
Through-hole components are manually placed on the boards, and a selective soldering machine quickly solders all components.
Each board is visually and functionally tested to ensure high-quality control standards.
If the board passes testing, a unique serial number is affixed for full traceability.
