Electronic assembly is a general term that is often mentioned in the electronic device and product manufacturing industry. Electronic assembly services include assembling a computer and other electronic parts in a factory. There are standards and protocols in this industry, and services must follow these to ensure that they are recognized as qualified assembly service. These standards and protocols are set by the government and the industry stakeholders.

These assembly services usually assemble electronics such as electronic PCB assembly, SMT, and through-hole.

Most assembly specialists perform roles, including fabricating, mounting and labeling, assembling, aligning, connecting, adjusting, and securing electronic parts. The process involves a wide range of electronics.

PCB Assembly

PCB is assembled using conductive traces, pathways, and tracks to connect different electronic components. Devices such as laptops, calculators, gaming machines, iPods, computers, televisions, etc. cannot function without PCB assembly. It plays an essential role in these systems.

SMT Assembly

These services also place a variety of SMT components to 0201 sizes. They use automated machine systems to assemble equipment. Some of them can test the value of the passive resistor and capacitor. They also specialize in circuit card assemblies and large form factor PCB.

Leadless Device Placement

These services also have a lot of experiences when it comes to placing leadless devices such as LGAs and QFNs. This kind of placement requires the use of the appropriate stencil design and correct placement to ensure that the parts are well placed.

Through-hole Assembly

Through-hole assembly requires consistency in the placement of components. Some components may have odd forms and may require placement by trained personnel. They will need to glue, perform selective wave soldering, and conformal coating using highly trained hand procedures or specialized machines. Most assembly services offer this type of product assembly.

Ball Grid Array (BGA)

Another role that electronic assembly services perform is the Ball Grid Array (BGA) works. This including inspecting, placing, troubleshooting, reworking BGAs. They have special machines that they use to place these tools. The equipment needs to accurately place the components repeatedly, and that requires a piece of equipment that can guarantee precision.

During the assembly process, lots of mistakes can happen. This can cause a defect in the products. Defects can make a product unpopular, especially when the customer is unable to process a replacement. In some cases, an entire batch of electronic products may be defective due to errors during the assembly process. This can cause the company a lot of money in the end.

That is why assembly services must have quality control standards. They need to have specific standards and processes that they follow to ensure that they can detect every defect. HELTRONICS is well known for its excellent testing and verification services. They have equipment such as x-ray machines to help them scrutinize even the smallest components of products. This ensures that all products are properly checked, and all defective ones are identified. This is a great way to ensure that all product batches are flawless.
