Whether you are producing a small prototype or a mid-volume production run, our kitted PCB assembly services streamline the assembly process while maintaining high quality and precision.

Why Kit Assembly Matters for OEMs

Sierra Assembly’s kitted PCB assembly services are designed to save time, reduce errors, and optimize costs, letting you focus on innovation and final product delivery.

Time-Saving: Pre-packaged components streamline assembly and reduce production delays.
Cost Optimization: Efficient inventory management lowers component costs and avoids waste.
High Quality & Accuracy: Organized kits reduce assembly errors and improve reliability.
Flexibility: Supports prototypes, small batches, and mid-volume production.
Control: You maintain oversight of component selection while we handle assembly.

What is Kit Assembly?

Kit assembly refers to providing all PCB components together in a single “kit” for assembly. Unlike turnkey services where the provider sources components, kitted PCB assembly services involve the OEM or client supplying the materials.

Turnkey vs Kitted PCB Assembly

Feature	Turnkey PCB Assembly	Kitted PCB Assembly (Our Service)
Component Sourcing	Supplier sources all components	Client/OEM supplies components
Inventory Management	Handled by supplier	Handled by client
Cost Control	Less control over cost	Greater control and potential savings
Error Minimization	Supplier ensures assembly accuracy	Organized kits reduce errors
Flexibility	Limited customization	Full control over component selection
Lead Time	May include component sourcing delays	Faster if client provides components

Why Choose Kit Assembly Services?

Our kit assembly services are designed to help OEMs and manufacturers overcome common challenges. By reducing component sourcing and storage costs, our solutions are cost-effective and efficient, accelerating the assembly process with pre-packaged kits. Organized kits minimize mistakes during assembly, while offering full customization letting you control component selection while we handle the assembly. Flexible enough for prototypes, small batches, and mid-volume runs, our services combine professional assembly expertise with the convenience of keeping control over your materials. With Sierra Assembly, you get reliable, high-quality kit assembly tailored to your needs.

Our Kit Assembly Process

We follow a clear, step-by-step approach for all kit assembly services:

BoM Review: We verify quantities, compatibility, and lead times to avoid production issues.
Component Prepping: Components are sorted, labeled, and prepared systematically.
PCB Assembly: Advanced SMT, through-hole, or mixed technology is applied for precise assembly.
Inspection & Testing: Boards undergo AOI, X-ray, and functional testing to ensure reliability.
Packaging & Delivery: Fully assembled boards are packaged and shipped according to your schedule.

Testing & Quality Assurance

At Sierra Assembly, quality is at the heart of everything we do. Each PCB undergoes multiple inspections to ensure consistent performance and reliability:

Automated Optical Inspection (AOI):
We use high-speed cameras and software to spot surface-level issues like misaligned components, missing parts, or solder bridges. This step ensures your board looks and works perfectly.
X-ray Inspection:
Hidden solder joints, Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs), and internal connections are inspected using X-rays. This allows us to verify every critical electrical connection even the ones you can’t see.
In-Circuit Testing (ICT):
Every component and electrical path is tested for correct placement, connectivity, and function. ICT helps prevent failures before the board reaches your production line.
Functional Testing:
Boards are tested under real-world operating conditions to confirm performance. From power delivery to signal integrity, we ensure your PCB operates reliably in its intended environment.

With this point-by-point process, every assembly leaving our facility meets strict industry standards, giving you confidence in the quality and reliability of each board.
