Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has become the dominant process for electronic assemblies for many manufacturers in the EMS industry. But what is it, and why is it the best option? We’re going to take a look at this process. What is Surface Mount Technology? SMT electronics manufacturing is the go-to method for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assembly. This automated assembly method reduces manufacturing costs and optimises the use of space on the PCB without compromising reliability. Surface mount devices are mounted directly onto both sides of the circuit board with great precision and control. This method has transformed electronics manufacturing,

Completing a PCB assembly project is a complex process with many moving parts. While challenges can arise, most issues are preventable or manageable with the right planning and collaboration. Being aware of common risks will help your project team to keep schedules realistic and ensure production runs smoothly. Here are the most common issues to identify and address before you commit to an electronic manufacturing service. Avoid design errors with pre-production checks Design errors in the PCB design may not be apparent early on. Issues with component footprints, thermal design, or layout (including silkscreen) may only become visible during assembly

Printed circuit boards (PCBs for short) are the primary component in the majority of electronic devices and appliances. Pretty much anything that has an on/off switch will feature a PCB. In this blog, we will guide you through the steps involved in printed circuit board production, turning a PCB into a PCBA (printed circuit board assembly). Designing the PCB Camtronics doesn’t offer a design service, so this stage is handled by our customers. Once a design is released, the designer will provide a package of data to allow Camtronics to translate the engineer’s work into physical reality. This data will

Global industrial sensor & control company
“Throughout our ten-year partnership, we have always valued Camtronics’ commitment to flexibility and communication.
Their collaborative and proactive approach is a major benefit to us and we value the high quality of the increasing number of products they manufacture on our behalf”
Leading UK bio-pharma company
“Camtronics have handled small, one-off panel sample orders right through to large scale production volume orders … and deliveries have always been met.
Communication is a key aspect for us and we have entered into a strong working relationship, one that will hopefully last for a long time.”
Market leading industrial processing company
“We have been testing the ESC’s that you produced for us, and I am very happy to say that we have had zero rejects (Yes, that’s zero! Issues, faults or any trouble at all!). Honestly outstanding.
