We work closely with you throughout your project, providing clear and consistent communication, as well as thorough documentation. With August, you can count on precision, transparency, and a trusted partnership from start to finish.
We support the assembly of single-layer printed circuit boards as a simple, high-quality solution for straightforward electronic applications. This option is perfect for low-complexity, cost-effective projects where reliability and accuracy are key. Whether your needs are basic or intricate, we bring consistent quality to all our assembly projects.
Our team is equipped to handle complex, multi-layer boards that stack multiple layers of circuitry into a single assembly. We deliver expertly assembled, high-performance multi-layer PCB assemblies built for demanding applications, including rigid, flex, and rigid-flex technologies to push your product capabilities further.
We offer through-hole technology assembly services for designs that require stronger mechanical bonds and long-term durability. Each connection is carefully soldered to meet industry standards, ensuring lasting reliability across all use cases.
Our surface mount technology (SMT) PCB assembly services leverage advanced placement systems to ensure high-speed, high-density builds for even the most intricate PCB layouts. With automated precision and experienced operators, we deliver the quality and consistency your projects demand.
We specialize in mixed assembly projects that combine through-hole and surface mount components on a single board. This hybrid approach allows us to meet your unique design specs with flexibility and accuracy, handling all the components your build requires with care.
Once we receive your files, our team leverages advanced software to send bid requests to thousands of suppliers. We consider availability, lead time, and cost to compile a detailed quote that includes PCB board assembly costs and any non-recurring engineering (NRE) expenditures.
Once received, our team uses advanced software to send bid requests to thousands of suppliers, factoring in availability, lead time, and cost. We then provide a detailed quote covering PCB board assembly costs and any non-recurring engineering (NRE) expenditures.
We meticulously source all the components or verify consigned materials, ensuring every item is in place. Each part is counted, logged, and checked against the BOM to meet your required quantity. Internally, we generate unique internal documentation for each build, assigning part numbers to every prepared PCB and component for full traceability and inventory control.
We apply solder paste using a solder paste printer and stainless steel SMT stencil derived from the Gerber files. A solder paste inspection (SPI) is performed to verify the even distribution and alignment of components before placement.
With the boards ready, components are loaded into feeders for our four SMT lines—two high-speed and two standard lines. Our pick-and-place machine accurately places SMT components onto the solder paste, setting the stage for the next step.
Before reflow soldering, we perform a pre-oven Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) to validate polarity, spacing, placement, and markings, minimizing errors before the reflow stage.
The boards are passed through a controlled reflow oven that heats them to optimal temperatures without compromising component integrity. This reflow soldering process is critical to forming strong joints and reliable solder connections.
Once cooled, we conduct a post-oven automated optical inspection (AOI) to identify any placement errors or defects. The inspection frequency is guided by panel quantity to balance precision and throughput.
We utilize wave soldering and selective soldering machines (SSMs) to ensure precise solder joints for assemblies requiring through-hole components. We can also handle mixed assembly projects, including SMT and through-hole components. Some complex or non-standard parts are soldered manually for the best results.
All boards undergo a final inspection and are functionally tested based on your requirements. Our inspection team verifies that each assembled board meets IPC standards before it is approved for final shipment.
We manage custom packaging and delivery logistics, ensuring the assembled boards are securely packed and shipped to their destination on time and in a secure manner. Each order is tracked to maintain full visibility throughout the shipping process.
Trusted partnerships. Proven results.
"August Electronics is a leader among our manufacturing partners for value, quality, and service. They go the extra mile to make sure our projects are successful."
With over 35 years in the industry, we bring the expertise and problem-solving skills to handle even the most challenging assembly projects. Our team’s extensive experience in PCBA services ensures that the job is done right.
We maintain tight control over lead times, costs, and quality by keeping all stages of the PCB manufacturing process under one roof. This integrated approach lets us quickly identify and resolve potential issues, providing a seamless experience.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Our tailored services are designed to accommodate your specific needs, whether you need quick-turnaround prototypes, low-volume PCB assembly runs, or scaling up for larger production volumes.
Quality is a priority in everything we do. From day one, we’re committed to delivering durable, high-performance PCB assemblies that exceed your expectations.
Our rigorous testing strategies eliminate risks and ensure your product’s reliability. Every PCB assembly undergoes dielectric testing, functional testing, and AQL inspections to verify safety and functionality.
