Consultant / Service Provider, Manufacturer
Let’s face it. Quality PCB assembly is hard. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. That’s why we’ve spent years honing our assembly process to make it accessible and affordable for all engineers. We’ve developed our own SMT assembly verification software to find errors before the process begins. We’ve created and patented a method for machine-placing all parts - even for one or two boards. And, we’ve invested in top-of-the-line equipment for fast and smooth operations.
Our pcb assembly services include:
- R&D assembly: fully automated engineering process to give you the lowest cost assembly in the market.
- Full service assembly: we check all designs for part/footprint alignment to make sure your boards are assembled correctly the first time.
- Virtual prototype assembly: a free service for all customers, we take your BOM and build a digital image of your board before assembly begins.
- Turn-key assembly: simply send us your BOM and we'll do the rest - ordering boards, parts and handling the assembly.
Our industry partners and suppliers are the best in the business. With companies like Digi-Key, Mouser and Newark working alongside us everyday, we can locate and procure parts fast, even same day if necessary. We also get special low pricing, which we pass along to our turn-key customers. We’ve then topped off our quality processes with people that are second-to-none.
From our customer service to our experienced engineers to our quality control specialists, this team of professionals follows your project every step of the way, making sure the end result is exactly what you envisioned. We did all of this so you can simply send us your files and be done. Quality assembly is our promise to you. We stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. So go ahead. Dream it. Design it. Fry it. Do it again. With Advanced Assembly as a partner, there’s no limit to your ideas.

RULES FOR WORKING WITH 0201s AND OTHER SMALL PARTS
May 02, 2023 | Advanced Assembly, LLC
Surface-mount PCB components are smaller than their lead-based counterparts and provide a radically higher component density. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes designated by a series of standardized codes curated by the electronics industry. Of these PCB components, the 0201-sized are the smallest, measuring 0.024 x 0.012 in. (0.6 x 0.3 mm) – that's 70% smaller than the previous 0402 level! The 0201 components are designed to improve reliability in space-constrained applications such as portable electronics like smartphones, tablets, robotics and digital cameras, but require delicate handling during the assembly process....

Of these PCB components, the 0201-sized are the smallest, measuring 0.024 x 0.012 in. (0.6 x 0.3 mm) – that's 70% smaller than the previous 0402 level! The 0201 components are designed to improve reliability in space-constrained applications such as portable electronics like smartphones, tablets, robotics and digital cameras, but require delicate handling during the assembly process. Given the miniaturized dimensions of an 0201 package, it is crucial that the mounting process abide by a series of guidelines regarding the design of the PCB mounting pads and solderable metallization, PCB circuit trace width, solder paste selection, package placement and overages, solder paste reflow, solder stencil screening, and final inspection. It's advisable that one review this information when procuring the services of a PCB assembler....
Good Schematics Lead to GOOD LAYOUTS
Apr 08, 2015 | Advanced Assembly
An electronic schematic describes the electrical connectivity of a piece of equipment or an entire system. It is made up of symbols that represent individual components and contains electrical and mechanical information and their related connectivity, along with other important data. Information contained within the schematic is packaged into a printed circuit board (PCB) where the mechanical footprint is placed onto the board and connectivity information is graphically displayed. The more accurate the information contained in the schematic is and the clearer it is presented, the more it contributes to a robust printed circuit board....
Basics of Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs)
Feb 05, 2015 | Advanced Assembly
Ball grid arrays are the boon and bane of engineers and printed circuit board designers the world over. Their unparalleled pin density and low lead inductance are essential in today's high pin count, high frequency integrated circuits. However, that same pin density and unique interface create a challenge unique unto themselves. These challenges need to be faced head on since the ball grid array (BGA) is prevalent in modern PCBs. While there are entire textbooks that cover the topic of BGAs, their use and fanout techniques, the quick overview provided here offers an engineer a good starting point for improving BGA designs....
