Contract Manufacturing, Electronic Assembly,
PCB Repair | Rework, & Semiconductor Fabrication
Manufacturers & Services

Long gone are the days when electronics products were assembled in the same physical location where they were designed - at least for medium to high density circuit boards. Virtually all modern consumer electronics products are assembled, tested, and packaged by companies whose primary business is volume manufacturing. They are referred to as Contract Manufacturers (CM). Many CMs have expanded their capabilities to include assistance in design optimization. Some can even help tweak integrated circuit masks for "cookie cutter" items like ESD and reverse polarity protection. Another type of CM is one who makes specialty products like filters or amplifiers and offers to design and manufacture customs versions for the customer (you). Although rare, some of those specialty companies can arrange to have your entire design manufactured.

Please consider contacting RF Cafe advertisers first.

Electronic Assembly & Semiconductor Fabrication Books
For your convenience, I have built a set of pages with hand-selected companies. My policy is to only list companies that actually manufacture product or offer services related to the page title subject. Product distributors and sales representatives are not listed (they have their own page). This helps guarantee that each listing offers a unique product or service.
