Precise and efficient PCB assembly services are becoming increasingly important to satisfy the booming electronics industry.
A growing number of today’s electronic devices have state-of-the-art technical requirements. To fulfil the demands of computers, laptops, mobile devices, consoles, televisions, gaming machines and more; PCBs are getting smaller.
Using both Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole Technology (THT), Sellectronics specialises in PCB component assembly.
After finalising the initial concept with our clients, we create the required PCBs, sourcing and mounting the integrated circuits and other components:
Printed circuit board assembly, or PCBA for short, is the process of assembling or installing electric components onto a plain PCB.
Assembly goes through a number of processes, from the initial solder paste stencilling through to pick and place, reflow soldering and final testing and inspection.
Prototype PCB assembly is often carried out prior to full production to ensure no issues are present in the final run.
Combined with the latest technology and electronic manufacturing practices; Sellectronics provides flexible turnkey PCB assembly solutions using the expertise of our multi-skilled engineering team.
To show commitment to the AS9100 accreditation, Sellectronics is keen to provide clear and concise communications at every part of the product development cycle. One of the key elements of this written documentation is a build report.
After delivery of the final project, Sellectronics will deliver all documentation used throughout the manufacturing process. These include any project management documents, plus any materials, process, data or other document challenges faced during production.
Customers will receive communication regarding all of the above during the project build stage. The final build report is a useful tool for any future projects that are carried out by your electronics engineering team.
Sellectronics are able to provide a comprehensive components procurement service for all required electronics components ensuring that products go from product to finished item.
Sellectronics uses the latest in smart Manufacturing Resource Planning software to identify and purchase components on your behalf. In addition, we use our buying power to gain the best possible market price without compromising on quality. Furthermore, Sellectronics’ integrated systems ensure ‘just in time’ buying can be initiated maximising cash-flow and project budgeting.
Sellectronics was formed by a group of passionate electronics engineers offering full engineering support to customers. As a result, we stay true to our mission of providing quality service, backed by comprehensive customer support.
Every project faces different engineering challenges. By choosing Sellectronics, we will work very closely with your in-house engineering team to make suggestions, leading to the most effective way to progress your project from concept to completion.
Sellectronics also has the capability to become an engineering partner if your company does not have its own in-house engineering team. From an idea in your head, right through to a marketable electronics product, Sellectronics will support you at every level.
Using the very latest in AOI equipment and techniques, Sellectronics’ engineers are able to carry out circuit inspection and circuit testing down to 9.8 Micron/pixel resolution. 01005 components can be identified and checked using this system.
Any potential irregularities are double-checked using the Mantis 3D microscope before moving on to the next stage of production.
Quality, service and reliability is key to the success of Sellectronics who have worked closely with customers for many years to develop inspection and testing strategies. This enables support to external and in-house test requirements for high level reliability and performance of PCB assemblies and sub systems. These include:
Sellectronics is able to provide a comprehensive material procurement service (Full Turnkey solution) for all materials required to get your electronic product from concept to finished item, ready to ship to your end customer.
Using the latest in Smart Manufacturing Resource Planning software coupled with strong buying power, Sellectronics is able to identify and purchase materials on your behalf at the best possible market price and delivery without compromising on quality. Furthermore, the integrated systems used ensure that ‘just in time’ buying can be initiated to maximise cash-flow and project budgeting.
As an ISO9001 accredited company, Sellectronics is committed to delivering measurable and quantifiable services, including our electronics project management.

Our team can react to requested changes quickly with dedicated key account managers for each customer.
Forming the backbone of every successful project, our engineering team brings decades of expertise to refine and optimise your design.
Design for Manufacture (DFM) Support
To ensure industry best practices for manufacturability are met, we collaborate closely with your team to evaluate every aspect of your design. This allows us to identify potential issues or inefficiencies at an energy stage, saving you time and money.
Prototyping Services
Allowing us to test the form, fit and function of your design under real-world conditions, rapid PCB prototyping is an iterative approach that ensures any issues can be resolved before moving to full-scale production.
Regulatory Compliance
We ensure your designs meet the necessary standards for safety and functionality in your target market, including UL, RoHS, or IPC Class 2 or 3 compliance.
Our sourcing and storage process ensures that all parts are genuine, reliable, and ready for assembly.
Trusted Supplier Network
We only procure components from authorised and trusted distributors and manufacturers to ensure compliance with industry standards and remove the risk of counterfeit parts.
Moisture-Sensitive Component Management
Sensitive components are stored in our advanced humidity-controlled environment, where relative humidity is maintained below 5%, reducing the risk of oxidation, delamination, and soldering defects during assembly.
Traceability
Offering full traceability, our supply chain management system allows you to verify the origin and authenticity of every component. We can also offer FAIR’s and PPAP’s if required.
Combining skilled craftsmanship with advanced technologies, our PCB assembly process delivers consistent, high-quality results.
Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
Our high-speed placement machines allow us to handle densely packed designs and small components down to 0402 packages. SMT processes include precise solder paste application and reflow soldering for reliable connections.
Through-Hole Assembly
We can offer both manual and selective soldering techniques to ensure robust and durable connections for project requiring through-hole components.
Mixed Technology
Our team are able to accommodate complex designs with varied requirements, seamlessly integrating SMT and through-hole components on the same PCB.
