Prototype PCB Assembly

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) prototypes are widely used to reduce the number of errors in a PCB design. These prototypes help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) analyze the strengths and weak areas of their proposed circuits. Prototyping helps manufacturers save on costs that otherwise would be spent on rectifying defects and minimizing product recalls. This is why most companies prefer to invest in a prototype PCB assembly before high-volume production. Partnering with an experienced PCB assembly services provider like Sierra Assembly offers several advantages to them. We can handle prototype PCB assembly in quantities from 1 to 100 boards.

Highlights of Sierra Assembly’s Prototype PCB Assembly Services

At Sierra Assembly, we have acquired capabilities that enable us to serve our clients better. All these years, we have worked on several complex prototype PCB assembly projects, and we believe the following capabilities have helped us serve our clients better.

• Printed Circuit Board Engineering Services: We can provide prototype PCB assemblies for design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for testing (DFT). In addition to this we can perform process failure mode effects analysis (PFMEA) and devise control plans.
• Prototype PCB Assembly Services: We specialize in the following prototype PCB assembly services.
  • SMT: We can provide single-sided and double-sided surface mount PCB assemblies in different specifications.
  • Plated Through Hole: We offer plated through hole assembly with selective soldering.
  • Mixed Assemblies: We often work on projects involving mixed assemblies – through-hole and SMT and electromechanical assemblies.
  • In addition to this, we also support new product introduction (NPI) projects.
• PCBA Testing: All the PCBA functional testing is performed in-house at our well-equipped facility at Chino, CA. Over the years, we have invested in various test fixtures and equipment, which helps us ensure the quality of PCBA. Currently, we provide the following types of PCBA testing services:
  • Flying probe testing also including boundary testing
  • Functional testing including system and board-level testing
• General PCB Assembly Capabilities: Our general PCB assembly capabilities are not limited to these:
  • RoHS, leaded, clean and no chemistries
  • PCB components including various types of QFNs, BGAs, CSPs, POP, 01005, 0201, 08004, and press fit components in small quantities
  • Paste-in hole
