Our Capabilities

SMT + THT Mixed Assembly

Our mixed-technology assembly combines the precision of SMT placement with the mechanical strength of through-hole components, enabling complex hybrid board designs.

🔄

Dual-Process Assembly

SMT placement first, then THT insertion and wave/selective soldering. Optimized process flow for maximum yield and minimum rework.

🌊

Wave Soldering

Full wave soldering bath for through-hole components with nitrogen enrichment for improved solderability and reduced defects.

🎯

Selective Soldering

Precise selective soldering for mixed boards where only specific THT joints need reflow without disturbing nearby SMT components.

Lead-Free Mixed Assembly

SAC305 and other lead-free alloys for RoHS compliance. Proper thermal profiling for mixed SnPb/SMT + lead-free THT boards.

🔍

Multi-Stage Inspection

AOI after SMT, X-ray for BGAs, ICT after wave, and visual inspection at each critical process step.

📐

Complex Board Support

Support for boards with heatsinks, press-fit connectors, large transformers, and heavy connectors that require THT mounting.
