Design for Assembly

Electronics Manufacturing Services

Design for Assembly (DFA) holds paramount importance at TechnoTronix, where we manage outsourced PCB design and manufacturing processes. When executed meticulously, DFA expedites product cycles, slashes development costs, and ensures seamless transitions from prototypes to full-scale production. However, our product engineering team occasionally expedites layout and development cycles, sometimes neglecting critical considerations for high-volume production like fixtures, casting, or extrusions.

In such instances, our PCB prototype engineers prioritize rapid deployment to the test bench for proof-of-concept validation over emphasizing DFA principles. Despite these challenges, TechnoTronix remains committed to optimizing our PCB manufacturing processes in California. We excel in providing comprehensive circuit board manufacturing services, integrating state-of-the-art technologies and industry best practices.

Our approach to printed circuit board manufacturing emphasizes precision and efficiency, ensuring that every design meets rigorous standards for quality and reliability. As one of the top printed circuit board manufacturers in the USA, we leverage our expertise to deliver cost-effective solutions without compromising on excellence.

Partner with TechnoTronix for your PCB manufacturing and assembly needs, and experience the difference in reliability and performance. We are dedicated to exceeding expectations and delivering superior products that meet the demands of today's dynamic market.

The prudent approach is to first examine the volume production considerations. The main reason is there are different DFA considerations related to prototype PCB assembly versus production PCB assembly. Each requires a different design skill set and equipment. If the right approach isn't used, costs can escalate, and debugging the product can be costly, as well. At PCB prototype levels, the validity of the circuitry and functionality of the circuit board is far more important than the testability and manufacturing guidelines that are necessary to implement at the PCB production level to make the production smooth and flawless.

The first article approval of the PCB is the initial most important step toward effective Design for Assembly. An OEM approved first article PCB proves valuable in answering all questions relating to manufacturing, assembly and test. It is the “ proof of concept ” before a PCB order goes into production, even if the quantities are small, like less than 10 to 50. The first article ensures that the transition into production volumes is smooth with few to no questions left unanswered. Plus, for the OEM, smooth transition to production means key market demands such as time-to-market, quality, reliability, product delivery, and the very critical time-to-revenue are met.
