Satellite and Aerospace PCB Assembly

There is an increasing demand for high-performance printed circuit boards (PCBs) in the aerospace and satellite industry. This industry is always at the crossroads of innovation with the increasing focus on customer safety and travel experience. Over the years, Sierra Assembly has invested in the technology and resources that enable us to manufacture and assemble high-performance, accurate, high-tolerance, and reliable PCBs that are required in these industries.

As an experienced aerospace PCB assembly manufacturer, we understand the stringent quality and engineering requirements of this industry. These printed circuit boards are required to withstand harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, vibration, humidity, impact, as well as harsh solar radiation, wind, dust, and so on. It is not always possible to repair these PCBs when they are integrated into applications that are serving thousands of feet above sea level. Thus, it is important to produce aerospace PCB assembly that assures excellent performance in adverse conditions.
