PCB Assembly sourcing for Berkeley 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 Berkeley teams source PCBA through SmartFab
Multiple qualified sources, one RFQ
One PCBA RFQ from Berkeley surfaces real quote comparisons from multiple shops — sized for your volume, your certifications, and your lead time.
Supply chain headache, eliminated
We absorb the sourcing, vetting, and follow-up on every Berkeley PCBA program so your team stops chasing suppliers and starts shipping product.
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 Berkeley programs in robotics & automation, that means routing to a shop with the right certifications and volume profile from day one.
Sourcing approach for Berkeley PCBA programs
When we route a PCBA RFQ for a Berkeley customer, we evaluate the project against partners on three axes: certifications (does it need IPC-A-610 Class 3 or AS9100?), volume (prototype, low-volume, production), and lead time. Berkeley's lab-and-startup mix demands partners who can handle one-off scientific builds and scale into low-volume production — our Bay Area bench includes shops that specialize in exactly that transition.
For robotics & automation programs in Berkeley, we typically shortlist 2–3 partners and surface real quote comparisons within 24–48 hours.
