EC Electronics Ltd - ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURING SERVICES (EMS)

The EC Electronics Group provides a comprehensive range of Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) from factories based in Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK and a wholly owned subsidiary located in Petrosani, Romania.

Core Services are:

• PCB Assembly - Surface Mount (0402 & uBGA) with AOI
• PCB Assembly - Conventional Plated Through Hole
• Cable and Wire Harness Assembly
• Complete ‘box build’ Final Product Assembly
• Potting, Encapsulation and Conformal Coating

Both locations are fully ISO 9001:2008 approved and work to internationally recognized IPC standards.

We provide full batch inspection and test via our quality management team including AOI, ICT and full functional.

The Group operates a dedicated procurement and materials management team to source components on a world wide basis for both factories, including fully audited supply chain partners from China and the Far East.

 A fully integrated MRP system supports Group operations enabling the production and materials management teams  to provide our customers with the most competitive pricing and on time delivery.

High speed Philips/Assembleon pick and place lines are configured with LCS (large component sequencers), Sigma AX400 solder paste printers and Essemtec convection reflow solder ovens. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is provided via Yestech F1S and Scanspection equipment that provides a fast, responsive and flexible QA environment. Fully trained operators assemble the widest range of highly complex boards to Industry Standard IPC-A-610D Class 3

PCB Assembly Testing with Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)

Our test-engineering department is an experienced valuable resource, and can provide solutions to the most challenging requirements. Full AOI inspection is carried out in house on assembled PCB’s as standard practice utilising YESTech high speed equipment.

EC engineers have considerable experience in the manufacture of factory assembled Control Panels for a variety of applications and industries, combining the core electronic skills of PCB Assembly, Cabling and Electro Mechanical Assembly.

Our product build specialists offer a single source dedicated assembly service, including the mounting and integration of PCB’s, associated power and electrical equipment, interconnect cabling and wiring, component marking and electronic testing.

State of the art cable assembly preparation equipment and highly experienced staff are at the heart of our Cable Assembly Service operations. Our Komax and Kodera fully automatic wire processing machines, incorporating digital crimp height and crimp force analysis at every termination, ensure a consistent quality that is second to none.

These state of the art machines are supported by our wide range of modern semi automatic crimping, wire preparation and marking equipment used for lower volume, more bespoke assemblies.

Our Cable Assembly Services include: Cut & Prepared Wires, Crimped Assemblies and Cable Looms & Harnesses.

A variety of back potting and encapsulation processes are offered to provide protection from environmental hazards or product design security. Selection of the right compound is important and advice can be given to ensure optimum performance and value for money. Specialist Metermix plant enables us to encapsulate or back pot a wide range of PCB’s as well as connectors and interface box assemblies.

Operating from a dedicated location within factory, our modern specialist plant conforms to the highest safety standards and includes full fume extraction facilities. Specialist plant allows us to offer PCB conformal coating as an added value service where a higher than normal level of protection is needed for the components and circuit.
