PCBA Assembly & Test

At EMLinQ, we specialize in delivering high-quality Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) services backed by advanced equipment, rigorous process controls, and decades of experience. Whether you require quick-turn prototypes or scalable mid- to high-volume production, we provide the flexibility and reliability to support your product lifecycle from concept through production.

Prototype to Production

We understand the importance of speed and precision in the early stages of development. Our teams in Simi Valley, California and Mexicali, Mexico are equipped to handle low-volume prototyping with rapid turnaround times, enabling fast design validation and customer feedback. As projects scale, we seamlessly transition to mid- and high-volume manufacturing, maintaining the same level of quality and consistency across every build.

Advanced Facilities

  • U.S. Facility (Simi Valley, CA): Focused on engineering support, prototyping, ITAR-compliant builds, and complex high-mix, low-volume assemblies.
  • Mexico Facility (Mexicali, Baja California): IMMEX-certified and operating under USMCA trade provisions, this site specializes in cost-efficient mid- to high-volume production while maintaining stringent quality standards.

Together, these facilities give our customers a binational advantage—combining engineering expertise and U.S. compliance with Mexico’s scalability and cost efficiency.

Valor-Driven Manufacturing Excellence

EMLinQ leverages its Siemens Valor™ license to ensure the best possible manufacturing outcomes from the earliest stages of design. By running every project through Valor’s Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis, we:

  • Identify potential yield, assembly, and test issues before production begins
  • Optimize panelization, solder paste, and component placement strategies
  • Reduce costly re-spins and accelerate time-to-market
  • Align customer designs with best-in-class manufacturing practices

This proactive engineering step ensures our customers benefit from a smoother transition to production, higher yields, and greater long-term reliability.

Comprehensive Test Capabilities

To ensure every assembly meets the highest reliability standards, EMLinQ offers a full suite of in-circuit and functional test solutions, including:

  • Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
  • Flying Probe Test (Takaya APT-1400F)
  • X-Ray Inspection for BGAs and BTCs
  • Boundary Scan & Functional Test Integration

These systems allow us to detect issues early, reduce time to market, and guarantee consistent product performance.

Why EMLinQ

  • Dual-facility footprint for flexibility and risk mitigation
  • Seamless scalability from prototype through high-volume builds
  • IMMEX/USMCA advantages for duty and tariff efficiencies
  • Valor DFM expertise for optimized manufacturability
  • Commitment to quality through IPC standards and ISO certifications

At EMLinQ, we don’t just assemble PCBs—we partner with you to bring reliable, cost-effective, and scalable electronics solutions to market.
