Here’s a look at New Product Introduction (NPI) lines in electronics contract manufacturing – specifically SMT printed circuit board assembly For this SMT assembly video, we’ll assume you’ve completed the design process – including feasibility studies, circuit design...
One of the first questions to ask when evaluating a PCB assembly contract manufacturer is, “Can they handle my expected production volume?” To answer that, we first have to understand what we mean by low, mid, and high-volume. For this video we’ll leave aside...
Many electronic products for medical, commercial and industrial use are manufactured in the USA. As these products keep getting smaller, OEMs need to take a close look at the capabilities of their design and manufacturing partners for the design and manufacturing of a...
Custom Cable Assembly Video This custom cable assembly video explains why, when evaluating a contract manufacturer for PCB assembly or box build services, it’s important to consider their capabilities for wire harness and cable assembly as well. It’s possible to...
This video shows why through hole components – and through hole technology – aren’t dead yet. In fact, through hole technology PCB assembly is alive and well thanks to mixed technology PCBAs and American know-how.Through Hole Components vs. Surface...
In SMT assembly, it’s surprisingly common to find that a reel of resistors, capacitors or diodes has been mislabeled. If these components are placed on a printed circuit board assembly, the error can be hard to detect and expensive to correct. In this video we...
