Capability areas

NPI and Prototype PCB Assembly

NPI, quick-turn prototype and production PCB assembly with no minimum order: SMT, through-hole and mixed technology on 4 SMT lines, with engineer-led DFM on every order.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM)

Engineer-led design for manufacturability (DfM) and design for sourcing and obsolescence (DfS/O) reviews of Gerbers, BOMs and drawings before the build.

ITAR-Registered Facility

An ITAR-registered facility covering PCB assembly, cable and wire harness assembly and box builds for U.S. defense and aerospace programs, built to IPC-A-610, IPC J-STD-001 and IPC/WHMA-A-620.

Defense Electronics PCB Assembly

Defense electronics PCB assembly by an ITAR-registered contract manufacturer. SMT, through-hole, cable harness, and box build to IPC-A-610 and IPC J-STD-001 with full traceability.

Cable & Wire Harness Assembly

Custom cable and wire harness assembly built to IPC/WHMA-A-620: internal and external harnesses, fiber optic, RF, power, shielded, twisted pair, coax, and flex, including heavy gauge and overmolding, verified with automatic cable eye testing.

Box Build & System Integration

Complete box build and electromechanical system integration: PCB assembly, cable harness, housing and fabricated part sourcing, software and firmware download, device programming, and final test and acceptance, by an ITAR-registered US manufacturer.

Custom Die Cutting

In-house die cutting of gaskets, thermal pads, VHB tape and labels for PCB assemblies and box builds.
