Electronic Manufacturing

Surface mount technology and through-hole technology are the main PCB manufacturing methods. Choosing between these assembly methods often comes down to which components are better for your product: SMDs (surface mount devices) or through-hole components. Each has it benefits, depending on the end use of the PCB.

Even with the most well thought-out business plans, companies will inevitably run into problems. Effective problem solving looks for the best, most cost efficient solutions. Sometimes this means turning to a third party for assistance. Telan Corporation, a Pennsylvania contract electronics manufacturer, offers PCB assembly solutions backed by over 35 years of experience.

As the world grows ever more dependent on technology, demand for electronics will continue to grow in leaps and bounds. If your company cannot adapt to a changing market, it will quickly be left in the dust. Over the last two weeks we’ve discussed how Pennsylvania PCB assembly services help you lower costs and increase productivity. But these solutions and services are only as good as the business behind them. A trusted Pennsylvania PCB assembly service brings experience, knowledge, and the latest production technologies to the table for their clients.

Spring is nearly upon us, a season of change and growth. But as any gardener will tell you, a beautiful garden doesn’t grow that way on its own. It requires a watchful gardener who will pull weeds, fertilize the soil, and move struggling plants to where they will thrive. Likewise, business owners need to keep a watchful eye on their businesses, removing obstacles that slow production, investing in growth, and reworking struggling departments so that they can reach their full potential. This can be easy for a large company with plenty of capital at their disposal, but what about small and medium companies operating under limited budgets?

In our previous blog, we focused mainly on how to optimize your board design to reduce costs, but there are several other aspects of PCB design and assembly where you can lower costs and increase profits. Your New York PCB assembly service is here to help you ensure your costs are under control while still producing a quality product.

Contract electronics manufacturers like us know that as printed circuit boards (PCBs) become more sophisticated, they further establish their importance as the building blocks of our technological devices. PCBs are now used in everything from smartphones and cars to home automation systems and children’s toys. As a result, design engineers find themselves challenged to keep abreast of the ever-changing options of materials, design and layout software, and manufacturing capabilities. As technology changes on a daily basis, it also creates new ways to make errors while developing PCBs.

When was the last time you evaluated the services your electronics contract manufacturer is offering? Likely, as long as your orders are being processed and you haven’t had too many product complaints, you are content to believe they are your best option. However, it is relatively easy for a contract electronics manufacturer (CEM) to skate by doing a “good enough” job, and it is you, the business owner, who pays the price.

You should never settle for “good enough”: in order to succeed, your company must efficiently manage costs and keep your customers happy. Choosing the right partner is crucial in meeting these goals. With products being introduced to the market faster and in higher numbers than ever, businesses and consumers have enough options available to be demanding about quality. How can you be sure your contract partner is helping you meet your goals? And with so many options to choose from, how do you know you’ve chosen the best?

For the last 20+ years, offshoring of electronic manufacturing services has been the standard. Foreign-based companies lure clients with promises of lower productions costs, but many companies have discovered that these promises do not always ring true. Between hidden costs, long turnaround times, and the rapid growth of cost-of-living in China, more and more companies are looking to U.S.-based contractors to manufacture their products.
