Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS)- Challenges
- Electronic Contract manufactures (ECM) Interested in only High volume, low‐mid complexity manufacturing which does not Require Production Line Re‐profiling and reconfigurations.
- Manufacturers may not give priority to Engineering PCB Prototypes, Rapid Prototyping, and reworks requirements as it does not fit to their revenue model.
- Many Electronic Manufacturing Services companies may not have a robust QC process in place for Quick Turn (mostly Hand soldering) prototype PCB assembly as it’s not their business focus.
- Slippage in Delivery dates is common with no mechanism for tracking delays & Manufacturers are not proactive in notifying component, PCB, and footprint related issues early on.

Through hole Assembly - Wave Soldering
- If your assembly requires conventional THT mounted components, our team will use a wave soldering machine to automate the process. In a matter of seconds, through-hole components are soldered to the printed circuit board, resulting in mechanically and electrically reliable joints.
- Hand Soldering is used on components that cannot be wave soldered. A process requiring exceptional craftsmanship and levels of attention, our soldering engineers use a hand-held soldering iron, selecting suitably sized tips to form joints that meet the exact requirements of your assembly.
- The AESPL team will provide guidance on the most suitable techniques ( wave soldering, Selective soldering, hand soldering) to enhance the performance of your specific assembly.
Through hole Assembly - Selective Soldering
- Selective soldering is a process of soldering selected electronic components to a PCB. The components are selected by way of a program that is created using an image of the PCB specifying where flux and solder are to be applied.
- selective soldering is done by preheating, applying flux, and soldering. In both processes, the temperature of the assembly is raised before soldering (preheating).
- in selective soldering the application of flux is only to the components that are to be soldered. In this processes the PCB is exposed to a molten wave of solder. In selective soldering, only individual connections see the wave (one after the other).
- Though Selective soldering is a slower process than wave soldering but it is much more precise and it allows independent configuration of the soldering of each position.
Press fit Assembly & fixture
- press-fit solutions are compliant pins with an elastic nature that will flex during insertion and maintain a permanent contact normal force once placed.
- When the pin is inserted, strong contact normal forces between the compliant pin and the plated through hole generate cold welded interconnections on their own.
- Press Fit connector Assembly including Design and manufacturing of press fit connector assembly.
- Assembly of Press Fit connectors on PCB.
- Design and manufacturing of press fit tools as per connector data sheet.
- can support specific press-in force [ Typical 85 N ] as per connector specification.
