Through-hole technology had completely replaced earlier electronic assemblies until the advent of Surface Mount Technology (SMT). Through holes became Plated Through Holes or PTH for the electronic components to make contacts with the required conductive layers. In this technology electronic components such as pins and terminals were manually inserted and then soldered to pads on the opposite side. Automated insertion mount machines would also often be used in the process.  From rework cycles being factored in the PTH design, to a high amount of precision with cutting edge laser drilling equipment PTH PCB assembly services have to be top notch for them to perform well.

There are many electronic manufacturing companies which have a wide range of expertise when it comes to electronic assemblies. Sub contractors functioning within the ambit of the Electronic Manufacturing Industry have many PCB assembly services to facilitate the production and maintenance of a many companies. From testing conventional PTH PCBs to providing support for mixed surface mounted and plated ones there are firms which offer complete solutions to the electronic needs of their customers. These tend to meet the highest of industry standards providing consumers with the best production method to reduce escalating costs.

PTH or the Plated through Holes is a PCB technology, which has become a pivotal part of electronics manufacturing. It is basically a mounting scheme that is used for PCBs to ensure that leads on the components are inserted safely and reliably through holes in the PCBs’ drilled regions. Then, they are inserted into mount machines. The Plated through Holes technology enables PCB components to make contact using conductive layers. They play an important role in making component connections and interconnections between different layers.

Sub contract PCB assembly with the PTH technology ensures that the mechanical bonds between PCB layers are stronger when compared to SMT or Surface mount Technology techniques. This works best for heavier components such as a semiconductor as they limit the routing area for signal traces, providing better reliability to the user. Ultra compact designs of PTH are also available with SMT construction. Therefore, even lighter components can make use of the mechanical bonds through PTH technology.

Our organization Denis Ferranti Electronics provides sub contract PCB products and electronics manufacturing.

But, before choosing an EMS provider three things should be kept in mind. Here is a quick guide to choosing right services:

Quality Check

Your preferred EMS provider should adhere to latest standards set by industrial regulatory authorities. Is your service provider ISO 9001certified or not? There are some minimum standards that any EMS provider should follow as it reflects the quality of their services. Also ask whether your EMS provider is ready to comply with your company standards or not? It shows their commitment towards keeping long term relationship.

Staff certifications

Make sure to review not only certification of EMS provider but also that of assembly technicians. The staff should be able to produce training and certification records when asked for. In case the staff doesn’t hold a proper certification then check their certification progress.

Cost effective services

Since labor costs varies from area to area, therefore make sure that EMS service provider provides you an itemized breakdown of the total cost of PCB assembling. Once an estimated cost is provided, conduct cost comparison of different competitors and choose accordingly.

One of the initial structures of the PCB assembly was that of a board with several lines and pads. These were then electrically connected to various points that allowed the flow of signal and power. This initial painstaking process of point to point wiring is one of the reasons why PCB assembly is also called as Printed Wiring Boards or Printed Wiring Cards. And as expected, the problems with this system were many like – short circuits, failure at wire junctions, aging or wire insulations etc.

The breakthrough in PCB assembly services came with the advent to ‘wire wrapping’. This was a simple process of wrapping around a post, a small gauge wire at the connection points. The process lent the wires both durability and flexibility. Needless to say this progress eliminated a lot of problems and gave way to environmental friendly services where e-waste management became easier.

PCB enclosures are needed to integrate PCB and preserve other electronic components preserve. PCB enclosures are available in different types, hand-held, desktop enclosures, wall mount, potting boxes, instrument enclosures and DIN boxes.
The PTH method places the electronic components onto the printed circuit boards with the help of leads that are inserted through the holes on one side of the circuit board. Then the lead is soldered onto traces of copper on the back side of the board. You can have either single or double sided circuit boards that have components soldered either one or both sides. The electronic assembly is created by installing the through-home components by using two axial leads, bending the leads on the boards back in the opposite direction. Herein, one part is placed on the board and the other side the lead is bent on the opposite direction of the board.

This kind of technology has come into the scene because of the advent of high potential LED, and comes encased in aluminum backplates whose thickness can vary according to demand. These thick sheets of metal support proper heat conduction, which is required for the smooth operation of high power LEDs. The exceptional heat conducting qualities that metal backed pcb assembly offers has made it perfect for a wide variety of application in today’s modern world. It shouldn’t be a surprise for you to learn that metal backed pcb assembly is now being widely used in industries like telecom and automotive, as well. Besides this, it has also found a place in electric/ hybrid motor controlling systems and also in high voltage regulators. The sole reason behind this popularity is that it brings down chances of all kinds of accidents that are cause due to firebreaks.

Pin-Through Hole PCB Assembly: This technology of PCB assembling has been in vogue for long and entails a manual process of inserting and soldering terminals through holes on the PCB. A reflow machine is used for the soldering part whereby the liquid solder is made to flow beneath the PCB.

Surface-Mount Technology: In this process, a number of pin insertion machines are used and the production process is done mechanically from start till the end. Hence right from soldering to assembling of the components on the surface and fusing of the solder paste to the electronic components machines like chip placer, pick and place and large placer are used.

PCB Population: This is done by Pick and Place robots which come with reels comprising the electronic components which are placed by the robot arm on the surface of the PCB for Surface Mount assembly or into holes for the Pin-through Hole technology. Populating PCBs in the right manner is required in order to ensure that the electronic components are working with the optimum potential and just the way they should.

PCB Enclosures: Enclosures are designed in order to integrate PCBs and electronic components preserve them safely. They may be of various types, namely, hand-held, wall mount, desktop enclosures, instrument enclosures, potting boxes, multipurpose enclosures and DIN Boxes.

Some companies specialize in prototype PCB assembly. Once the designing of a PCB is done by the engineers, the designed PCB assembly is manufactured in order to test whether it functions in the required way. This is known as a prototype PCB assembly. After its testing, certain changes are usually made and a second batch of PCB is manufactured which meets majorly all the design requirements.

PTH or Pin through Hole PCB assembly uses designated holes in the board through which the components are soldered. This is used to manufacture products which have no space constraints or when the components are cheap. This is the conventional type of PCB assembly process.

Surface mount assembly is a technique of assembling electronic circuits in which components are soldered directly on the surface of bare printed circuit boards instead of wiring them through holes. The general term SMT is used for all the process regarding surface mount technology. SMT PCB assembly process typically includes screen printing with solder paste, placing components and soldering them with the help of a reflow oven.

Resin Encapsulation of PCBs
PCB components that are designed to work in extreme conditions are coated or encapsulated with resin systems which act as a protective sheath against vibrations, moisture, physical or thermal shock and the likes. A number of resins are used in the Electrolube line but the more prominent among them are Epoxy, Silicon and Polyurethane resins. Among these three, Silicon resins supersede the clarity, flexibility and quality of both polyurethane and epoxy resins.

The encapsulation or potting process of PCBs with resins proffers the boards and components augmented reliability and longer life span. For enhanced digital signal processing, we use conformal coatings.

PCB Functional Testing

Whatever be the use of the PCBs and their volumes, they require undergoing functional testing procedure after being assembled with the required electronic components. PCB function testing is therefore the final and ultimate step in the whole process of designing and assembling PCBs and is undertaken to rule out presence of errors in the PCBs prior to their shipment. At Denis Ferranti we use a number of testing strategies, such as Flying Probe, Optical and X-Ray Inspection, Pin Bed Testing and Customized functionality testing to name a few. The purpose of all the testing is to check whether the electronic components are working properly in the simulated environment by the proper electrical connection.
