PCBA Quality Assurance Based on IPC-A-610

All printed circuit board assembly services at Regulus follow IPC-A-610 standards to ensure workmanship quality and reliability. Our PCBA solutions are developed to meet strict inspection criteria, supporting Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 product requirements for different application needs.

Class 1 Assembly: Suitable for general electronic products where basic functionality is the primary requirement and cosmetic imperfections are acceptable.
Class 2 Assembly: Suitable for dedicated service electronic products requiring reliable performance and extended life.
Class 3 assembly: Designed for high-reliability applications where continuous operation and performance in harsh environments are critical.

By adhering to IPC-A-610 guidelines, we ensure that every circuit card assembly (CCA) meets industry expectations for durability, functionality, and long-term reliability.

Type of PCB Assembly

Regulus supports multiple mounting technologies, providing the technical flexibility required for diverse product designs:

SMT Assembly: High-speed SMD (Surface Mount Devices) and SMT (Surface Mount Technology) processes for high-density, precision boards.
THT & DIP Assembly: Expert insertion and soldering of Through-Hole Technology (THT) and Dual In-line Package (DIP) components for robust mechanical bonding.
Press-fit Assembly: A solder-free alternative that uses mechanical pressure to create reliable connections, ideal for heat-sensitive components and high-reliability applications.
Mixed Technology Assembly: Seamless integration of SMT, THT / DIP, and Press-fit methodologies on a single board to optimize performance and durability.
Double-sided Population: Supporting complex PCBA designs by integrating double-sided SMT, THT / DIP, and Press-fit methodologies. This approach allows for maximum component density and space efficiency while ensuring the mechanical integrity of both soldered and solder-free connections.

Each project is custom-configured to meet specific application requirements, ensuring optimal performance for diverse electronic systems.

PCBA Production Quantity

Our PCB assembly services are designed to support a wide range of production volumes with scalable flexibility:

Quick-Turn Prototype PCBA
Low-to-Medium Volume Production
High-Volume Mass Production

This versatile printed circuit assembly capability enables efficient scaling from development to full production.

PCBA Technologies

Regulus integrates advanced technologies into every custom PCBA project:

Automated SMT placement systems
IPC Class 2 & 3 Lead-Free Processes
Fine-pitch components: µBGA, PGA, LGA, BGA, PoP, and 01005s
Press-Fit Assembly Technology
Automated and Semi-Automated Conformal Coatings
Automated Laser Marking for Traceability

These technologies ensure high accuracy and repeatability in all assembly of printed circuit boards.

PCB Assembly Process

Regulus provides both RoHS-compliant and traditional leaded assembly to meet different product requirements and industry standards.

Lead-Free PCB Assembly: Compliant with RoHS regulations, this process uses environmentally friendly solder materials, making it suitable for consumer electronics, medical devices, and other applications requiring regulatory compliance.
Lead PCB Assembly: Traditional lead-based soldering offers excellent solderability and reliability, making it ideal for specific industrial, aerospace, and high-reliability applications where lead-free is not mandated.

Both assembly options are integrated into our controlled workflow, including solder paste printing, component placement, reflow or wave soldering, and multi-stage inspection. This ensures every circuit card assembly meets performance and quality expectations.

PCBA Test Capabilities

To ensure product reliability, Regulus provides comprehensive testing for printed circuit board assembly services:

Solder Paste Inspection (SPI): Real-time, 3D measurement of paste volume and alignment to ensure optimal soldering foundations before component placement.
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI): High-speed, high-resolution detection of placement errors, polarity, and solder bridge issues post-reflow.
X-ray Inspection: Non-destructive verification essential for inspecting BGA (Ball Grid Array), QFN, and hidden solder joints in high-density layouts.
In-Circuit Testing (ICT) & Functional Testing (FCT): Rigorous hardware and software validation to ensure the assembly operates precisely according to your firmware specifications.
Flying Probe Testing: A flexible, fixtureless solution ideal for prototypes, providing high-precision electrical verification without custom tooling.
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) & Burn-In Chambers: Controlled thermal and electrical stress testing to identify potential early-life failures.
Test System Development: Custom-engineered fixtures and software environments tailored to your specific requirements.
