SMT Assembly Services

Align placement data, soldering, and inspection.

Surface-mount PCB assembly with component procurement and board fabrication available in the same project. Define the component packages, board sides, orientation, and inspection requirements before production.

Your build brief

Define the Next Build

  • Gerber, BOM, and placement/CPL data
  • Assembly drawing and polarity notes
  • Fine-pitch/BGA package details
  • Quantity and inspection or test requirements

Engineering focus

Make the Manufacturing Scope Clear

01

Placement Definition

Provide the reference designator, coordinate, side, and rotation for each fitted component. Resolve orientation ambiguity with the assembly drawing and package information.

02

Package & Board Review

Identify fine-pitch and BGA components, local access restrictions, and any special handling notes. Review package-specific inspection requirements with the design package.

03

Verification Plan

Inspect component position, polarity, and solder joints. Specify hidden-joint inspection and functional tests according to the assembly requirements.

Project questions

SMT Assembly Services FAQ

Can SMT and through-hole parts be assembled together?

Yes. A mixed-technology build coordinates both processes and the relevant assembly sequence.

What minimum component size should I design around?

Send the intended packages for review. This page does not introduce an unverified package-size or pitch limit.
