Flex PCB Assembly

Several industries and applications use flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards. These industries include, for example, consumer products, drilling, defense, aerospace, military, automobiles, lighting, industrial machinery, and medical devices. In addition, flex and rigid-flex PCBs are critical to the functionality of these sectors, offering versatility and reliability across diverse applications.

At RushFlex PCB, we have extensive experience in assembling flex, rigid-flex, and rigid circuits. Based in the USA, we conduct our operations all under a single roof, which includes design, layout, and fabrication. That means, our engineers are always in communication, and we can work out issues and problems before starting assembly. Consequently, not only does this minimize any possible project delays, but it also saves our customers time and money.

Our Assembly Capabilities

SMT or Surface Mount Technology

Firstly, we can mount or place components directly onto the surface of a PCB. Thus, we use fully automated solder paste dispensers, pick-and-place machines, and AOI or automated optical inspection methods.

THT or Through Hole Technology

Secondly, although this technology is dated, we take up THT assembly on customers’ demand. For this type of assembly, we use automatic inserters for forming and placing through-hole components into holes in the PCB. While the SMT technology is in greater demand, some consumer and military applications insist on using THT.

Flip Chip

Thirdly, this is a special technology where we invert the chip and connect it directly to the substrate, rather than using the more common wire bonding.

BGA

We also use BGA or Ball Grid Assembly technology. BGA chips have solder balls under them in very close pitch placements. However, to mount BGAs, we use specially designed HDI boards.

IR Reflow Soldering

After mounting the SMDs or surface mount devices on PCBs, we solder them using the IR or Infra-Red reflow soldering method. Thus, the heat from IR bulbs melts the solder paste and anchors the component to the board.

Wave Soldering

At RushFlex PCB, we have extensive experience in assembling flex, rigid-flex, and rigid circuits. Based in the USA, we conduct all our operations under a single roof, which includes design, layout, and fabrication. This means our engineers are always in communication, allowing us to address issues and problems before starting assembly. As a result, not only does this minimize any possible project delays, but it also saves our customers time and money.

Selective Soldering

For select boards with THT components, we control the soldering process using a sophisticated programmable machine. This machine regulates the pre-heat temperature, flux amount to spray, and solder time, thereby avoiding damage to heat-sensitive components. Consequently, we ensure precise and reliable soldering without compromising the integrity of the components.

AOI or Automated Optical Inspection

We use vision cameras to capture images of a board with components and analyze them using special software in computers. Therefore, with this method, we can automatically detect several types of defects in soldering and misaligned or missing components.

X-Ray Inspection

We verify and guarantee all solder joints. We use X-ray inspection for hidden solder joints, such as those under a BGA and Gull-Wing IC. Moreover, our X-ray inspection is also useful for inspecting interlayer connections in multilayer PCBs.

Rigid and double sided flexible PCB

ICT and FP Testing

Once we have completed PCB assembly, we test them using ICT or In-Circuit Testing, or FP or Flying Probe testing methods to test for shorts, opens, wrong components, and missing components.

Press-Fit

Using the Press-Fit technology, we can create a connection between the PCB and plated-through holes without soldering them.

Box-Build Assembly

Furthermore, we can also build an electrical device or product by assembling several PCBs along with other electrical and mechanical components.

Conformal Coating

Lastly, we use conformal coating for hermetically sealing components on the PCB. We use acrylic-based coatings to cover the entire PCB assembly. Thus, aerospace and military applications often require conformal coating as protection in adverse environments.

Turn-Key Capabilities

RushFlex PCB offers full turn-key capabilities. In addition to fabricating your PCBs, we will take care of procuring all materials and components according to your BOM. By doing so, we eliminate delays and offer advantageous component prices. Moreover, our turn-key services provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your PCB and assembly are in the hands of experts who will manage everything from start to finish. If, however, you prefer to obtain the materials and components on your own, we can also offer partial and consigned turn-key services.
