Long-lasting PCB Assemblies

PCB assemblies for aerospace and defense applications must withstand harsh environments and extreme conditions over extended lifetimes. We work with you to select high-quality materials and components and employ meticulous assembly processes to achieve this. Proper thermal management and the avoidance of sources of electromagnetic interference are also adhered to, minimizing the risk of defects or failures that could impact the PCBs’ performance.

At Nortech, we understand that keeping up with industry standards, regulations, and technologies is crucial to meet the evolving requirements of the aerospace and defense industry. By staying up-to-date, we ensure that our PCB assemblies meet or exceed the required specifications, reducing the risk of defects, malfunctions, or safety issues, thereby guarding the overall performance of the PCB and keeping end-users safe.

Secure reliable and precise PCB manufacturing.

Reliable Production of PCB Assemblies for Long-Term Manufacturing

Nortech maintains robust but flexible manufacturing process control, monitoring, and documentation to ensure consistent and reliable PCB assembly processes over a long period. Our commitment to these processes ensures that our PCB assemblies are produced at a consistently high quality throughout their entire product life cycle, meeting the demands of the aerospace and defense industries.

Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of continuous improvement in our manufacturing processes. By staying up to date with the latest industry standards, regulations, and technologies, we can adapt and refine our processes to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Regular testing, inspection, and quality control measures are essential to detect defects or variations in the production process and ensure that each PCB assembly meets the required specifications.

Mastering Complexity in PCB Manufacturing

At Nortech, our advanced manufacturing processes and specialized equipment enable us to produce PCB assemblies for aerospace and defense applications, which demand a high level of precision and proficiency. We have a deep level of expertise regarding the challenges posed by the high density of components and the need for multiple layers, and our manufacturing process ensures that each layer is precisely aligned and bonded together to produce a reliable and robust board.

Our skilled experts ensure that the high pin count and fine-pitch components used in these assemblies are precisely placed and soldered onto the board without any damage or misalignment. To meet the strict requirements for signal integrity, power distribution, and thermal management, we incorporate the latest manufacturing techniques to address these requirements in the finished product. This ensures optimal functionality and reliability of the PCB assemblies, even in harsh environments.
