Types of PCB Assembly There are three main types of PCB assembly: through-hole assembly, surface mount assembly, and mixed assembly. Through-Hole Assembly Through-hole assembly is the traditional method…
YOUR NEXT STEP
Tell us what the circuit needs to do, how it will bend and when you need it. A complete build brief makes a quote easier to evaluate.
Include Gerber and drill data, a fabrication drawing and stackup notes. Put related files in one ZIP. Add a BOM and placement file when assembly is required.
