PCB Assembly (PCBA)

Controlled, scalable PCB assembly for complex and long-lifecycle products

PCB Assembly at Entech supports products from early builds through to scalable volume production, with a strong focus on process control, automation, repeatability and traceability.

Our PCBA capability is designed to support complex, reliability-critical and long-lifecycle products across industrial, energy, medical and other demanding markets.

PCB Assembly at Entech is tightly integrated with DFM, NPI, test and supply chain functions. This ensures a controlled transition from design to production and stable performance at scale — rather than isolated build activity.

Throughout PCBA, all relevant manufacturing data — including build records, inspection results, test outcomes and traceability information — is captured and retained. This data flows directly into downstream box-build and system integration, ensuring assemblies are integrated without loss of context or unnecessary rework.

We provide:

  • Prototype, low, medium and high-volume PCB assembly
  • Fine-pitch and high-density component assembly
  • Surface Mount (SMT), Through-Hole (THT) and mixed-technology builds
  • Support for rigid, flex and rigid-flex PCB assemblies
  • High-speed SMT pick-and-place lines for scalable production
  • Lead-free and mixed-assembly reflow capability
  • Inline Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) for early process verification
  • Inline Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) for consistent defect detection
  • X-ray inspection for BGA, QFN and hidden solder joints
  • Automated PCB depaneling to reduce handling damage
  • Manufacturing-ready test integration
  • Full material, process and inspection traceability

Entech continually invests in new equipment and process capability to support increasing product complexity, quality expectations and production volumes.


How Entech approaches PCB assembly

At Entech, PCB assembly is treated as a controlled manufacturing process, not a commodity service.

Our approach focuses on:

  • Stable, repeatable processes
  • Early defect detection and prevention
  • Data-driven quality control
  • Alignment between assembly, test and downstream integration
  • This ensures PCBA performance remains predictable as designs evolve and volumes scale.

Why choose Entech for PCB assembly

Reliable PCB assembly depends on discipline, automation and consistency — especially for products that must perform reliably over many years.

Customers choose Entech because we provide:

  • High levels of automation and inspection to reduce variability
  • Consistent PCBA processes across all Entech manufacturing locations
  • IPC-certified operators and documented work instructions
  • Full material, process and inspection traceability throughout the lifecycle
  • Strong linkage between PCBA, DFM, NPI, test and supply chain teams
  • Ongoing investment in equipment to support increasing complexity and scale
This enables predictable quality, stable yields and controlled cost over long production runs.


Designed for demanding and regulated applications

In markets such as industrial automation, energy infrastructure and medical devices, PCB assembly quality directly impacts:

  • System performance
  • Safety and compliance
  • Field reliability
  • Lifecycle cost
These industries demand repeatable processes, controlled inspection and documented traceability. Entech’s disciplined and automated PCBA capability is designed to meet these expectations from early builds through volume production.


Quality, compliance & systems

PCB Assembly at Entech operates within our certified management systems, including:

  • ISO 9001
  • ISO 13485 (where applicable)
All PCB assemblies are produced by IPC-certified operators, supported by:
  • Documented process controls
  • Formal change management
  • Inspection and test records
  • Full material and process traceability
Entech also has experience supporting IECEx-related products, with controlled assembly processes aligned to safety and regulatory requirements.
