PCB Assembly Services (PCBA)

Expert PCB Assembly Services in the UK

At Magus Electronics, we offer expert PCB assembly services for a diverse range of electronic applications. From prototype boards to high-volume production runs, our experienced team delivers precision, quality, and reliability for every project. With over 40 years of experience in the UK electronics manufacturing sector, we take pride in combining advanced technology with skilled craftsmanship to meet our clients’ exact needs.

Whether you require Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly, Through-Hole Technology (THT) assembly, or a hybrid approach, Magus Electronics has the expertise and equipment to ensure that every PCB is manufactured to the highest standards.

Comprehensive PCB Assembly Solutions

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly

Our SMT assembly services utilise the latest automated pick-and-place machines capable of handling a wide range of component sizes—from 0201 chip components to 28mm devices. This technology enables high-speed, high-accuracy component placement, making it ideal for both prototype boards and large-scale production.

Key benefits of our SMT assembly services include:

  • Rapid placement speeds for efficient high-volume production

  • Precision soldering through advanced reflow processes

  • Comprehensive first-off inspections to catch any issues early

  • Capability for complex, multi-layer boards

 

Each production run undergoes initial first-off and buddy checks to verify accuracy. After soldering, boards are inspected using advanced magnification systems to ensure that the solder joints meet the required

Through-Hole Technology (THT) Assembly

While SMT is ideal for high-density boards, many projects still require THT assembly for components that cannot be surface-mounted. At Magus Electronics, we offer two THT assembly methods to suit your requirements:

  1. Wave Soldering
    Our wave soldering process provides consistent solder coverage for multiple PCBs simultaneously. It is ideal for medium- to high-volume THT production and ensures excellent joint reliability.

  2. Hand Soldering
    For delicate or complex components, our skilled technicians perform manual hand soldering using temperature-controlled soldering irons and lead-free solder. This ensures precision where automated processes may not be suitable, making it ideal for prototypes and specialised assemblies.

All THT assemblies undergo rigorous inspection and testing to guarantee the integrity and longevity of your circuits.

Prototype and High-Volume PCB Assembly

At Magus Electronics, we understand that each project is unique. Whether you are developing a new product or scaling up an existing design, our PCB assembly services in the UK are flexible to meet your production needs.

  • Prototype PCB Assembly: Our prototype services are ideal for product development and testing, enabling clients to verify designs before transitioning to full production. We provide fast turnaround times without compromising quality.

  • High-Volume PCB Assembly: For large-scale production, we combine automation with skilled assembly to deliver high-quality boards on schedule. Our processes are optimised for efficiency and consistency, reducing lead times and unit costs.

By offering both prototype and high-volume capabilities, we provide a seamless transition from design to production, ensuring your product reaches the market faster and with confidence.

Quality Assurance and Testing

Quality is at the core of everything we do. Every PCB assembly project undergoes rigorous testing and inspection, including:

  • Visual inspections under high magnification

  • Solder joint verification to meet IPC-A-610 standards

  • Functional testing to ensure operational performance

  • Compliance with ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards

Our commitment to quality ensures that every board we produce is reliable, durable, and ready for deployment in your end products.
