SMT

SMT and printed circuit board assembly

As an electronics and electrical installation product manufacturer, Glob-el provides solutions for SMT assembly to customers around the globe. We have been honing our expertise in this field for over 35 years and we take pride in our performance and achievements in this field.

Our employees are highly trained PCB experts and when you partner with Glob-el for your project you can trust us to deliver. Contact us to discuss your project today.

Surface-mount technology (SMT)

Surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturing and screen printing are among our core PCB assembly services. Our facilities include several pick and place machines capable of producing a wide array of circuit board assemblies. We have invested heavily in technology and training for our staff to meet the demanding requirements of today’s electronic manufacturers. We provide fast turnaround times and in-house inspection and testing services, so get in touch directly to request a quote.

PCB design and manufacturing

Our SMT team comprises of highly skilled designers, engineers and technicians. We can take your product idea and make it a reality.

Testing and inspection

All components undergo visual and automated optical (AOI) inspection under magnification to identify both component- and lead-level defects, such as missing components, reversed polarity, insufficient solder and more. We also offer more extensive in-circuit testing to ensure quality and compliance with a variety of regulatory standards.

Contract manufacturing

Take the worry out of bringing a new product to market by outsourcing your contract manufacturing to Glob-el. We can assist with all stages of a project, from the initial design and board layout to the final build and shipping. We understand the level of trust these services require and strive to provide excellent communication and customer satisfaction every step of the way.

Custom packaging

We consult closely with manufacturers to develop custom packaging and housing that meets their application’s requirements. Working with a variety of suppliers, we can source and install custom plastic housing. If required, we can provide final assembly and testing, minimising processes for our customers.

Electronic PCB assembly

Glob-el provides small-to-medium batch electronic assembly services. Whether it’s prototyping or production, we’ll work with you to bring your project to market. Our skilled team and advanced technology offer the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements as needed, while ensuring an exceptionally high level of quality control.

Advantages of SMT

Small components

A chief advantage of SMT is that it can attach very small components and do so at high densities. For this reason, SMT leads to overall smaller units than can be constructed with other manufacturing processes. With the use of contact terminals instead of leads, SMT components can be miniaturised to the size of one grain of sand.

Dual-sided boards

In the through-hole process, components can only be placed on one side of the board — the pins sticking through place a hard limit there. With SMT, though, components can be attached to one side and then the other, allowing for more complex circuitry without significantly increasing the size of the overall unit.

Easily automated

Many manufacturing benefits to SMT make it a highly automated process. Machines can conduct solder paste printing, component placement, inspection scanning and reflow soldering.

Highly customisable

With SMT, you can attach a wide variety of components to circuit boards. Companies in a broad array of industries have deployed this assembly process because it enables them to customise boards for almost any application.
