Complex assembly, end to end.
SMT Elite leads the engineering on every build: DFM, process development, thermal profiling, inspection and quality, with assembly on qualified Canadian partner lines under our process control. Full turnkey assembly, fast-turn prototyping, specialized through-hole, harness assembly, and bare board supply, plus the rework, X-ray diagnostics, and DFM expertise that recover high-value boards and keep every build dependable.
Where most engagements begin.
The two services new clients reach for first. Both run to the same quality controls as everything else we do.
One partner, full accountability.
SMT Elite manages the entire production process from start to finish, sourcing all components, managing procurement, and delivering fully assembled, tested boards ready for deployment. You get a single point of accountability, reducing supply chain complexity and lead times while ensuring consistent quality across every build.
Your design, proven fast.
Our prototyping service gives engineers a fast, reliable path from design to physical board, supporting low-volume builds with the same precision and care as full production runs. We work closely with development teams to identify potential issues early, accelerating iteration cycles and reducing costly design spins.
Core services.
Every program starts with fundamentals done well, to the same standard as the signature work.
Specialized Through-Hole
Expert through-hole assembly for components that demand robust mechanical and electrical connections, including connectors, transformers, and high-power components. Our technicians are skilled in both automated and hand-soldering, ensuring compliance with IPC standards and the highest levels of joint integrity.
Harness Assembly
Wire and cable harness assembly built and tested to the same IPC discipline as our board-level work. From prototype quantities to production runs, with no minimum order.
Bare Board Supply
We source and supply bare PCBs from a trusted network of manufacturers, ensuring boards meet your exact layer stack, material, and finish requirements before a single component is placed. A convenient, quality-assured route to procurement, whether you need a handful of prototypes or production volumes.
Rework, inspection and design review.
The same engineering that leads the hardest builds recovers them: high-complexity rework, X-ray diagnostics, DFM assessments, and process consulting for OEMs and CMs.
Your boards recovered, not scrapped.
When a high-value assembly runs into trouble, it doesn't have to become a write-off. Our rework team specializes in the most demanding board-level repair challenges, including BGA re-balling and replacement, precision wire adds, and in-depth fault diagnostics.
Using advanced equipment and proven processes, we recover high-value assemblies that would otherwise be scrapped, saving you significant cost and schedule time. If your boards need expert recovery, there is a good chance we can get your project back on track.
Know every hidden joint is good before your boards ship.
The solder joints beneath BGAs, QFNs, and other hidden-termination components are exactly where failures hide and visual inspection goes blind. X-ray inspection provides non-destructive analysis of solder joint quality, identifying voids, bridges, and misalignment that visual inspection simply cannot detect.
This service is available both as part of the assembly programs we lead and as a standalone inspection offering for boards manufactured elsewhere.
DFM Assessments
Our DFM service reviews PCB layouts before production to identify design features that could compromise yield, reliability, or assembly efficiency. Engineers provide clear, actionable feedback on pad geometry, component spacing, solder mask, and panelization, so you get your design right before committing to tooling or volume.
Process Consulting
Hands-on process consulting for OEMs and contract manufacturers looking to improve yield, throughput, or quality in their own environments. We assess existing workflows, identify root causes of defects or inefficiencies, and implement targeted improvements that deliver measurable results.
SMT Process & Thermal Profiling Training
Hands-on training for manufacturing teams in SMT process areas and thermal profiling: printing, placement and reflow fundamentals, profile development and interpretation, and the measurements that keep a process in control. Delivered by the engineers who run these processes on customer programs and shaped to your product set, so your team leaves able to apply it on your own lines.
Your deadline met, your tolerances intact.
Fast-turn prototype builds start from as little as 3 days for customer-consigned materials, with 2-week expedited turns available subject to component availability, consignment, and tooling. Full turnkey timelines vary with material procurement and part availability, assessed and communicated clearly at the quoting stage. Speed is always a priority. Quality is never compromised.
Let's Solve Your Next Manufacturing Challenge.
Whether you are launching a new product, addressing a difficult production issue or searching for a more responsive long-term manufacturing partner, SMT Elite is ready to help make the path forward clear.
