Cutting-edge through-hole technology services

Upholding legacy and integrity in CCA design    

By combining the capabilities of programmable selective solder machines with the expertise of skilled assemblers, we achieve high-quality through-hole soldering with efficiency and great accuracy.

Automated selective soldering machines are used to precisely solder through-hole components onto the CCA’s, whether it is a legacy product or a new design. Some of the benefits of this method include a lower risk of damaging sensitive components and the ability to solder complex CCA assemblies with high precision.
