PCB Assembly Services
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
We support flexible volumes — from single prototypes to large-scale production.
How fast can you deliver prototypes?
We provide 24–48h quick-turn prototyping with full DFM support.
Do you handle double-sided SMT assemblies?
Yes. Our SMT lines are optimized for high-density double-sided boards.
Can UltroNiu provide turnkey services?
Yes. We manage sourcing, assembly, and testing under one roof for streamlined supply chains.
Do you offer component programming?
Yes. We provide in-house IC and embedded device programming.
How do you ensure product reliability?
Each build undergoes AOI, X-ray, ICT, functional testing, and burn-in for mission-critical assurance.
Are your processes compliant with international standards?
Absolutely. We hold ISO 9001, ISO 13485, AS9100D, IATF 16949, and IPC Class II/III certifications.
What is mixed assembly in PCB manufacturing?
Mixed assembly combines Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole Technology (THT) on the same PCB. This hybrid approach leverages SMT for compact, high-speed circuits and THT for robust, high-power or mechanically stressed components.
Why choose mixed assembly over all-SMT or all-THT?
Mixed assembly provides the best of both worlds:
1. SMT = high-density layouts, miniaturization, signal integrity.
2. THT = strong mechanical bonds, high power handling, vibration resistance.
3. This is critical for aerospace, automotive, defense, and medical electronics.
Can you build double-sided mixed PCBs?
Yes. We support single-sided, double-sided, and multilayer mixed assemblies with full process control for both SMT and THT soldering.
What soldering methods do you use for THT in mixed assembly?
We use wave soldering for high-throughput production and selective soldering for precision when THT components are placed near SMT devices.
How do you ensure reliability of mixed assemblies?
All boards undergo:
1. AOI & X-ray inspection
2. Functional & in-circuit testing
3. Compliance with IPC-A-610 Class II/III and J-STD-001 standards
