PCBA is the process of assembling electronic components onto a PCB. OEM services involve the assembly of completed PCBs with other components into final completed products. As a one-stop PCBA and OEM solutions provider, we undertake for our customers the contract manufacturing of their products using the following assembly lines:-
- Auto Insertion ("AI")
- Surface Mounting Technology ("SMT")
- Manual Insertion ("MI") )
AI is a type of through hole technology which refers to the mounting scheme used for electronic components that involves the use of pins on the components that are inserted into holes drilled in PCBs and soldered to pads on the opposite side. AI involves the use of machines to arrange and insert the components according to the schematics provided by the customer. The AI process is generally used in the manufacture of CRT monitors and TVs, computer power supply and home appliances. AI is also used in conjunction with other assembly processes such as SMT and MI to process the PCB.
SMT is a method of constructing electronic circuits, by which the components are mounted directly onto the surface of PCBs. PCB components are designed to be directly soldered to the surface of the PCB. This allows for higher circuit densities as component placement is possible on both sides of the board. PCBA services utilising SMT typically allow for PCBs to be physically small and lightweight. Surface mounting technology lends itself well to a high degree of automation, reducing labour cost and greatly increasing production rates.
We manufacture integrated circuits using the SMT process. SMT is also used in conjunction with other assembly processes such as AI and MI to assemble PCBs. Examples of products that typically primarily use SMT are LCD displays and mobile phones.

MI is a type of through hole technology which refers to the mounting scheme used for electronic components that involves the use of pins on the components that are inserted into holes drilled in printed boards and soldered to pads on the opposite side. MI involves the use of labour to arrange and insert the components manually according to the schematics provided by the customer. The MI process is generally used in the manufacture of LCD and CRT displays, scanners and computer mouse. MI is also used in conjunction with other assembly processes such as SMT and AI to produce the PCB. MI is typically used to complement SMT and AI processes. Examples of end products that incorporate the use of MI are CRT displays, DVD players and digital photo frames.
