PCB Assembly FAQs​

Box build assembly is also known as systems integration. It is an electromechanical assembly process. It includes enclosure fabrication, cable installation or wire harnesses, and installation of components and sub-assemblies. Box build can be a small enclosure or a complex fully integrated system as well.

You can first find a contract manufacturer who is specialized in Box Build Capabilities. With over a ton of electronics contract manufacturers out there, you need to carefully curate the process of selection. For best results, you can check out Keep Best PCBA services where we provide all the PCB box build services under one roof. You don’t have to worry about coordinating between multiple vendors. You have got everything covered from individual components to complex components under one umbrella.

Your electronics contract manufacturer should be able to provide engineering and design services like manufacturability, software loading, product configurations, etc. for building a successful box build. You can also see if it has in-house staff, a vetted supplier network, prototyping team, quality certifications, an in-house testing department, and the ability to dropship, etc. A professional CM should be able to reduce your manufacturing time and cost and also suggest design modifications if needed.

A box build contains wire harnesses, point-to-point wiring, PCBs, and the mechanical structure of the entire box. One needs to club all these together and give a proper structure to these pieces. Cut, strip, and label the individual wire ends, build & test all device cables and wire harnesses, and start the assembly process from the bottom.

We inspect every aspect of the process and focus on the crucial areas of the product assembly. We test the box build and record the results and observations.
