Flextron Unveils Full Range of Advanced SMT, Mixed Assembly Services
January 18, 2018 | Flextron Circuit AssemblyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Flextron Circuit Assembly announces the availability of the full suite of advanced manufacturing services with a focus on high mix, high-reliability assembly solutions. Flextron’s 55,000 ft2 static-free facility is located just outside of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, offers a wide choice of solutions in rigid and flexible printed circuit board (PCB) SMT, PTH, and mixed technology. Flextron is Aerospace AS9100, Medical ISO 13485, ISO 9001 certified, and ITAR registered.
“We’re experts at handling small to medium production runs and prototypes as well as full-scale production,” stated Jay Vora, VP Sales and Engineering, in making the announcement. “We use both highly automated SMT and manual assembly processes when appropriate. We have the right systems to execute single and double-sided placement for all SMT component types. We can handle all types of SMT and Through-hole components, e.g., BGA, uBGA, QFP, QFN, PLCC, SOIC, PoP (Package on Package), CSP, and various other small chip packages as small as 01005, 0201s, and active components with a pitch of 0.25mm or more.” Flextron’s process engineers are also adept at conformal coating, potting, LED lighting assembly, and many more exacting processes that less sophisticated shops are reluctant to take on.
Flextron also offers quick turn prototypes and fast-turn production assembly services. Flextron’s manufacturing line is equipped with high-speed and flexible component handling SMT pick and place machines, stencil printers, fluids dispensers, multi-zone reflow ovens, 3D SPI and AOI inspection systems, X-ray inspection systems, test systems, and skilled, experienced technicians. Flextron’s skilled technicians can manually assemble and solder most complex components, guaranteeing a fast turnaround time for prototypes, turn-key, small lots, or high-mix jobs.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
