PCB Manufacturing Process
What is High Volume PCB Assembly?
High volume PCB assembly (HVPCBA) involves producing printed circuit boards in batches, starting from a minimum of 1000 to hundreds of thousands per run.
It’s a cost-effective way to capitalize on time that would otherwise be spent on prototyping, which is common with low-volume assembly. It provides bulk PCBs in short turnaround times to meet market demands.
High Volume PCB Assembly Technologies
Single or double-side surface mount technology is highly efficient. Our assemblers use precision machines to mount components on the PCB’s surface.
The machines are primed for efficiency and accuracy to ensure they achieve miniaturization and maximum space usage. Automation ensures every PCB in the assembly line maintains the same standard of uniformity.
We use through-hole technology for PCBs in power-intensive applications. In this method, we insert electronic components into pre-drilled holes on the circuit board and solder them securely.
THT is suitable for producing PCBs that can withstand impact or tough conditions.
We use a combination of SMT and THT when we need to include power-intensive components on PCBs that undergo extreme electrical current.
Once we use SMT to place smaller components, we use THT to manually place bigger components that can handle mechanical stress.
High Volume PCB Assembly Equipment
Pick and Place (P&P) Machines
We combine automation and pinpoint component placement when using pick-and-place machines to place surface components on the PCB.
P&P machines use vacuum nozzles to pick components up from trays and place them on PCB pads. These machines can make thousands of successful placements per hour. The end result is efficient boards, finished with accurate component placement.
Reflow Ovens
The key function of reflow ovens is to melt solder paste for soldering surface components to the PCBs. Without reflow ovens, you risk having inconsistent and weak solder joints.
Assemblies use three types of reflow ovens, for specific functions.
- Convention reflow ovens are a great bet for zero-lead soldering. They use chamber-generated hot air on the PCB. These are the most ideal choice for high volume assembly, since they complement pick-and-place machinery.
- Vapor phase reflow ovens ensure uniform heating using heat transfer and a medium such as fluorinated fluid. They have the advantage of being oxygen-free and minus the risk of overheating the assembly.
- Infrared (IR) reflow ovens use ceramic infrared heaters located at the top and the bottom of conveyors to radiate heat onto PCBs.

Benefits of High Volume PCB Assembly
Unlike small-scale production, high volume PCB assembly cuts down on prototype development, testing, and approval time. Once the initial design is approved, mass production is fast. Also, it’s easier to get favorable costs per unit when purchasing components in bulk.
High volume PCB assembly is automated, from stencil printing to functional testing. Since it uses high-speed precision machines, you can get a minimum of 1000 units in a short time.
All the automated machines and processes are inspected for precision and accuracy. This ensures that the final boards come out uniformly and with no errors. The assembled boards also go through multiple testing stages to make sure end users get error-free PCBs.
High volume PCB assembly can boost your production from small scale to global production.
You can easily ramp up production from 1000 units to 100000+ units to meet market demands.
Alternatively, you can reduce production with ease, to accommodate decreased demand. It’s an efficient model for a business looking to grow organically.
What Industries Use High Volume PCB Assembly?
High volume PCB assembly is part of virtually every core sector.
- Household consumer electronics: Thousands of companies producing household consumer electronics for billions of households rely on HVPCBA. Microwaves, TVs, sound systems, and more all rely on precision to function properly.
- Electronic devices: There’s a constant massive demand for smartphones, personal computers, and associated gadgets. High-volume automated PCB assembly helps achieve the balance between mass demand and accurate production.
- Automotive: Interior support systems in automobiles, including engine control panels, infotainment systems, safety systems, and electrical control systems, require high-volume PCB assembly.

High Volume PCB Assembly Services FAQs
How is the Quality of High-Volume PCB Assemblies Ensured?
The first step to quality assurance in high-volume PCB assembly is choosing a manufacturer that meets ISO certifications. Also, the automated machines must be optimized for maximum precision. That way, there’s less chance of low quality right from the design and prototype phase.
Assembly materials and components must come from trusted suppliers. Once the PCBs pass manufacturing, further quality standards are enforced using various visual testing methods, such as automated optical inspection (AOI), in-circuit testing (ICT), and X-ray testing.
The final test, functional testing, is a rubber stamp on the operational integrity of the manufactured board.
