SERVICES

Printed Circuits Assembly Corporation is a contract electronics manufacturer of simple to highly-complex boards. Our versatility of services and expertise allows us to serve all types of clients – from medical, technical, and aerospace, to personal innovation projects. We build for prototypes with a quantity as low as one, to large scale production runs.  

We don’t just build boards; our experienced team can provide insight and feedback for improvements to your product, efficiency, and cost.

Parts Audit
(Prior to Run)

Before we even start building your boards, our full-time audit staff will check all consigned parts for shortages against your bill of materials. This helps to prevent slow-downs and issues arising during production of your board.

  • Capacitor and resistor values checked
    with Smart Tweezer equipment to ensure
    correct value is supplied by vendor
  • Shortage check against Bill of Materials (BOM)
