Supply Chain Management: We handle full Bill of Materials (BOM) sourcing, utilizing our vast network of trusted distributors to prevent delays and secure genuine parts.
PCB Fabrication: The bare boards are manufactured to exact specifications, undergoing rigorous DFM checks to ensure flawless production.
SMT & Thru-Hole Assembly: Utilizing high-speed robotic pick-and-place lines and advanced reflow ovens to populate the boards with extreme precision.
Quality Control (AOI & X-Ray): Every assembled board undergoes Automated Optical Inspection and 3D X-Ray to guarantee zero defects before shipment.
Our Full Turnkey Assembly service is designed to take the burden of supply chain management and inventory control off your shoulders. We combine state-of-the-art SMT lines, deep procurement networks, and rigorous testing protocols to deliver fully finished, highly reliable products.
Global Sourcing Network: We leverage our established global supply chain networks to secure high-quality components at competitive prices, ensuring your project stays on schedule and on budget.
Obsolescence Management: Our engineering team actively tracks part lifecycles and provides drop-in replacements for end-of-life (EOL) or hard-to-find components.
Counterfeit Avoidance: Strict adherence to AS6081 testing protocols guarantees that only genuine, manufacturer-approved components enter our facility.
Once materials arrive, our advanced SMT lines take over. We utilize high-speed robotic pick-and-place machines capable of accurately mounting components down to 01005 package sizes and ultra-fine pitch BGAs.
Our facility features advanced vapor phase and multi-zone convection reflow ovens to guarantee perfect solder profiles, whether dealing with heavy copper power boards or sensitive, dense mixed-technology assemblies.
With decades of experience in advanced PCB manufacturing, Altest Corporation delivers precision-assembled circuit boards for aerospace, defense, medical devices, and high-performance computing.
By trusting us with your Turnkey Assembly, you eliminate the massive overhead of managing dozens of distinct vendors. One purchase order results in one fully tested, boxed, and ready-to-deploy product delivered directly to your dock.
Find answers to common questions regarding our procurement process, assembly capabilities, and supply chain management.
Full Turnkey Assembly means we handle every aspect of your project. You provide the design files (Gerbers, BOM, Pick-and-Place data), and we manage the bare board fabrication, procure 100% of the components, assemble the boards, and perform final testing.
In consigned assembly, you source and supply all the components and bare boards to our facility, and we simply perform the soldering and assembly. In Full Turnkey, we take over the entire supply chain and procurement burden.
We leverage our extensive, long-standing relationships with global distributors. If a part is obsolete (EOL) or unavailable, our engineering team will work directly with you to identify and approve suitable cross-references or drop-in alternatives.
Absolutely. Quality is our highest priority. We source strictly from authorized, franchised distributors (like DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, and Avnet) to ensure component authenticity and traceability.
To provide an accurate and rapid quote, we require your Gerber files (or ODB++), a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) in Excel format with manufacturer part numbers, Centroid (Pick-and-Place) data, and any specific assembly drawings or testing instructions.
Yes. We routinely assemble complex boards requiring a mix of Surface Mount Technology (SMT), fine-pitch BGAs, and traditional Through-Hole (PTH) components, utilizing both automated wave soldering and precision hand-soldering techniques.
We do not have a strict minimum order quantity. We are fully equipped to handle rapid prototyping runs of just a few boards, as well as scaling up to medium and high-volume production runs numbering in the thousands.
Yes. If you have custom or proprietary components you wish to supply yourself, we offer "Partial Turnkey" assembly. You supply the specific parts you want, and we will procure the remaining standard components to finish the build.
When purchasing parts, we automatically calculate the necessary overages required for SMT machine loading tape-and-reel attrition. Any significant leftover components are cataloged and either returned to you with the final shipment or stored securely in our warehouse for your next production run.
Standard testing includes 100% Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) for all surface mount components and 3D X-Ray Inspection (AXI) for hidden BGA/QFN joints. We also offer Flying Probe electrical testing and custom Functional Testing based on your specific requirements.
Partner with Altest Corporation for your next high-reliability PCB fabrication and turnkey SMT assembly project. Our engineering team is ready to review your gerber files and provide a detailed, competitive estimate.
