As a specialist contract electronics manufacturer in the UK, we provide high-precision SMT capability designed for OEMs who need consistent, repeatable electronics manufacturing for established, long-running products. Our focus is on eliminating variability, improving yield and giving engineering, production and operations teams confidence that every batch will perform exactly as expected.
Whether your assemblies require fine-pitch placement present a challenge due to dense multilayer layouts or require a through-hole reflow process, our SMT lines deliver predictable output that integrates smoothly into your wider manufacturing process.
Surface mount technology (SMT) is a method of assembling printed circuit boards (PCBs) in which electronic components are mounted directly onto the surface of the board. Components are placed onto solder paste deposits and then passed through a reflow oven, where the solder melts to form reliable electrical and mechanical connections.
Our SMT service is engineered to support the demanding requirements of modern, high-reliability PCB assembly, including:
This capability ensures your designs are placed accurately, consistently and to the correct requirement every time.
We combine process control with modern equipment to ensure stable, repeatable performance:
This dual-line configuration allows us to maintain throughput even in the event of equipment failure, a significant operational advantage for OEMs relying on predictable delivery.
We have over three decades of successful SMT placement experience, supporting increasingly complex component technologies.
Our capability and experience includes:
This breadth of capability supports complex, long-running product lines that require absolute repeatability.
Our SMT capability forms the technical backbone of our wider electronics manufacturing offering. By ensuring accuracy, consistency and resilience at the earliest stage of assembly, we help OEMs reduce operational noise, improve predictability and build the long-term supply confidence their products demand.
Surface mount technology allows components to be placed closer together, reducing signal path lengths and increasing component density. This enables the manufacture of smaller, more complex electronic assemblies than is typically possible using plated through-hole technology.
SMT components can be repaired or replaced using specialised rework equipment and skilled operators. The process typically involves carefully removing the defective component and accurately positioning and soldering the replacement.
