Best Practices for Designing Efficient Box Build Assemblies
July 5, 2024
In the electronic manufacturing industry, efficiency is not just a desirable trait; it’s a critical component that can make or break the success of a project. Nowhere is this more evident than in box build assemblies, where the integration of various electronic components into a final enclosure occurs. Designing these assemblies for optimal efficiency requires […]
Box Build vs. PCB Assembly: Key Differences and Considerations
June 21, 2024
In electronics manufacturing, two crucial processes often come into play: box build assembly and printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. Both are integral to creating electronic devices but serve distinct purposes involving different methodologies. Understanding the differences between box build and PCB assembly is essential for manufacturers and engineers o make informed decisions about the production […]
Advanced PCB Materials for Aerospace Electronic Contract Manufacturing
February 26, 2024
In the ever-evolving aerospace electronic contract manufacturing landscape, selecting high quality materials for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) is paramount. These electronic systems, designed for applications ranging from space exploration to defense and satellite communication, face unique challenges including extreme temperatures, intense vibrations, and radiation exposure.

Supply Chain Resilience in Electronic Manufacturing
February 23, 2024
Disruptions in the supply chain are always a concern for PCB designers and electronic contract manufacturers. High demand for electronic components, decreased production due to external events, and poor part forecasting all contribute to these issues. If the components are not readily available, products may need to be redesigned, timelines can be delayed, and the […]
Comparing Domestic vs. Overseas Electronic Manufacturing
February 21, 2024
When looking for an electronic contract manufacturer to partner with for PCB assembly, cost will always be a consideration. Many overseas electronic contract manufacturers will attempt to highlight their lower costs as a primary advantage. In reality, while the initial quote may come in under domestic options, partnering with a domestic ECM will always save […]
How to Ensure Regulatory Compliance in Medical Device Manufacturing: Tips for Staying Compliant
February 14, 2024
Medical devices are heavily regulated – but for good reason. Patients expect their medical devices to be safe and effective. A medical device should never hurt them, but rather should improve their health. This is why medical devices need to be so highly regulated to ensure that they are in compliance. This provides the necessary […]

Considerations for Electronic Enclosure Design
June 29, 2023
After you have an assembled PCB, you will need to finish the device with a box build, sometimes referred to as a systems integration. This combines the PCB, cables and wires, subassemblies, and the electronic enclosure. When the full box build is complete, your electronic assembly will be carefully protected and ready to function in […]
Will Your Electronic Manufacturing Project Require a Box Build Assembly?
February 23, 2023
A box build, also known as systems integration, can be anything from a simple PCBA housed in a small enclosure to a cabinet housing a complex electromechanical system. Box build assembly involves everything from start to finish in electronic manufacturing, including design, production, and construction. Box builds are cost-effective, saving both time and money. There […]
