Our PCB Assembly Service
Turnkey Solutions
Complete end-to-end service: PCB design support, fabrication, component procurement, assembly, and functional testing.
Prototype and Small Batch
Quick turn PCB prototypes with industry-leading lead times. Perfect for testing your electronic design before scaling.
Full Production Runs
High-volume manufacturing with consistent quality. SMT assembly, through-hole, or mixed technology—we handle it all.
Component Sourcing
We source or you supply—your choice:
- Access to extensive component networks with competitive pricing
- Fast procurement matching your lead times
- Full traceability and quality assurance
- NDA protection for proprietary parts
Working from your BOM, we ensure every component meets your PCB requirements without supply chain delays.
Assembly Technologies
SMT Assembly (Surface Mount Technology)
- High-density circuit boards with compact components (down to 01005 size)
- Automated pick-and-place for speed and precision
- Ideal for flex PCB, rigid PCB, and high-frequency applications
- AOI inspection ensures zero-defect quality
Through-Hole Technology (THT)
- Superior mechanical strength for demanding applications
- Perfect for high-power and high-vibration environments
- Durable connections for Class 3 requirements
Mixed Technology
Combined SMT and through-hole on the same board. Best of both worlds for complex electronic assemblies.
Quality & Standards
- IPC standards compliance on all assemblies
- DFM and DFA analysis to optimise your design for manufacturing
- AOI and functional testing on every board
- Class 3 capability for critical applications
- Conformal coating for environmental protection
Our commitment to quality means right-first-time results, even on express projects.

Key Differences Between SMT and THT Assembly
PCB assembly uses two main techniques:
Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
SMT components are soldered directly onto the board’s surface, offering:
1
Often using Pick and Place machines.
2
Ideal for compact, high-density designs.
3
Connections may be weaker under stress.
Through-Hole Technology (THT)
THT involves inserting component leads through drilled holes for a stronger connection:
1
Ideal for high-vibration or high-power applications.
2
Additional drilling and soldering steps required.
3
Due to lead-based design and extra material.
