What we help with — PCB Assembly

PCB Assembly sourcing for Richmond programs

SMT, through-hole, BGA, and mixed-technology assembly — prototype quantities through full production.

Our PCBA bench covers SMT down to 01005 passives, fine-pitch BGA and CSP placement, through-hole and selective solder, mixed-technology builds, double-sided reflow, conformal coating, potting, and full functional and in-circuit test. Turnkey, consigned, and partial-kit models are all supported — send a Gerber, BOM, and CPL and we'll route it. AOI, X-ray for BGAs, and first-article inspection are standard on the shops we shortlist. Volumes run from a 5-board NPI through 100k+ annual production. IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 workmanship are available, with traceability packages for medical and aerospace builds. We match each project to a shop sized for the run: a high-mix prototype house for an NPI burn-down, a mid-volume EMS for bridge production, or a dedicated production line for sustained programs. Lead times start at 24 hours for stocked-component prototypes.

Why SmartFab

Why Richmond teams source PCBA through SmartFab

One RFQ, one accountable partner

One PCBA RFQ from Richmond returns one accountable manufacturing quote — sized for your volume, your certifications, and your lead time.

Supply chain headache, eliminated

We own sourcing, production, and follow-up on every Richmond PCBA program so your team ships product instead of chasing shops.

Better supplier fit

PCBA shop fit is driven by mix-vs-volume — a prototype house and a production EMS are different businesses and the wrong choice costs weeks. For Richmond programs in industrial equipment, that means placing the build on a line with the right certifications and volume profile from day one.

Build approach

Build approach for Richmond PCBA programs

When we route a PCBA RFQ for a Richmond customer, we evaluate the build against facilities in our network on three axes: certifications (does it need IPC-A-610 Class 3 or AS9100?), volume (prototype, low-volume, production), and lead time. Richmond's industrial and defense base needs ISO 9001 and ITAR partners with Mid-Atlantic capacity — our bench supports it.

For industrial equipment programs in Richmond, we typically return one accountable manufacturing quote within 24–48 hours.
