Sierra Assembly Technology, Inc. specializes in low volume PCB assembly services with customized features. We are equipped with advanced manufacturing facilities to handle the toughest jobs meeting the quality as expected.
At Sierra Assembly Technology, Inc., we specialize in low volume PCB assembly, providing comprehensive solutions for businesses across diverse industries. Whether you require a few prototype boards or small batch PCB assembly for pilot runs, we handle the entire process with precision and reliability. Our goal is to deliver high-quality assemblies that meet your project requirements on time and on budget.
With decades of experience as a trusted low volume PCB manufacturer, Sierra Assembly combines advanced equipment, skilled technicians, and proven processes to ensure every board meets the highest standards.
Low volume PCB assembly refers to the production of printed circuit boards in small or limited quantities, typically ranging from a handful of prototypes to a few hundred units. Unlike high-volume production, low volume assembly is ideal for:
This type of assembly is increasingly popular in industries where speed, flexibility, and quality are more important than mass production.
Companies opt for small volume PCB assembly because it offers flexibility and cost efficiency without compromising quality. Key reasons include:
Rapid Prototyping: Quickly test new designs and iterate based on performance feedback.
Reduced Costs: Avoid large inventory expenses while producing only what is needed.
Custom Solutions: Handle unique PCB designs, high-density layouts, and advanced materials.
Risk Minimization: Short production runs limit waste if design adjustments are required.
1. Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
We thoroughly evaluate Gerber files, BOMs, schematics, and assembly drawings to identify potential production issues early. This step reduces errors, delays, and costs, ensuring a smooth assembly process.
2. Material Selection
We source high-quality components and materials from trusted suppliers, including FR-4, High-TG laminates, and specialty components for advanced applications, meeting your exact project specifications.
3. PCB Fabrication
Our facility produces single-layer and multilayer PCBs with precise tolerances. Boards can be customized in thickness, copper weight, and surface finishes to match your design requirements.
4. Component Placement & Assembly
We use automated Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for high-density assemblies and hand or wave soldering for specialized components and small-batch runs, ensuring accurate placement and soldering.
5. Testing & Quality Control
Boards undergo rigorous inspections at each stage to verify component alignment, solder quality, and overall functionality, ensuring every PCB meets strict quality standards.
6. Final Delivery
Fully assembled, tested, and verified PCBs are packaged and shipped on time, ready for integration into your final product.
