- Maximum Package Size: 115mm x 115mm
Box Build
- Altest focuses on providing a solution to every manufacturing challenge.
- We offer box build assembly for any type of project. We can create custom enclosures for your PCBA project and send them directly to the consumers.
- We also maintain a clean, temperature-controlled warehouse to store all the finished products before shipment, along with our robust labelling and traceability software.
Cable / Harness Assembly
- Altest offers a wide variety of cable assembly types for all industrial applications. Our dedicated team of experienced and able engineers, design the cable and the assembly to provide a seamless end to end manufacturing process, for all the custom cabling works in our box build assembly projects.
- A harness is a group of wires and/or cables encased in a non-conductive durable sheath. Materials used for these coverings are typically rubber or vinyl due to their non-conductive properties. Gold, copper, aluminum, or many different metal alloys are used to make wires. Depending on the desired conductivity, we select the appropriate wires for our customers.
(PCBA) Printed Circuit Board Assembly
Are you looking for top-tier PCB assembly and PCBA Manufacture services that deliver quality and reliability? Altest Corporation cover every aspect of the printed circuit board assembly process, ensuring your products are built to last.
What is PCBA (Printed Circuit Board assembly)?
PCB printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) is the process of soldering and assembling electronic components onto a printed circuit board (PCB). This process involves various stages, from surface mount technology (SMT) to through-hole technology (THT), ensuring that every circuit is flawlessly connected and ready to function in your devices.
Our PCBA (printed circuit board Assembly) Process
Our printed circuit board assembly process is meticulously designed to guarantee the highest standards of quality and performance. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we bring your PCB designs to life:
Design Review and Optimization
Before we start the PCB assembly process, our expert engineers review your design files to ensure optimal manufacturability. This step helps in identifying any potential issues that could impact the printed circuit board assembly quality or performance.
Component Procurement
We source components from trusted suppliers, ensuring that every part used in your PCB assembly is of the highest quality. Our strong supplier relationships allow us to offer competitive pricing and quick turnaround times for all printed circuit board assemblies.
Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
In the SMT stage of PCB assembly, components are placed directly onto the surface of the printed circuit board. Our state-of-the-art machines ensure precision placement, which is critical for the functionality of modern, compact electronics.
Through-Hole Technology (THT)
For components that require stronger mechanical bonds, we utilize through-hole technology. This process involves inserting components through pre-drilled holes in the PCB and soldering them securely, making it ideal for high-reliability printed circuit board assemblies.
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
To ensure every PCB assembly meets our stringent quality standards, we perform Automated Optical Inspection. This process uses advanced imaging technology to check for defects in solder joints, component placement, and other critical areas.
Functional Testing
Before delivery, each printed circuit board assembly undergoes rigorous functional testing. This step verifies that the assembled PCB performs as expected in real-world conditions, giving you peace of mind that your product will work flawlessly.
