PCBA - Prototype Assembly Services

When you’re ready to test your designs, we source, assemble, and ship your prototype faster than anyone. From simple layouts to complex designs with multiple BGA components, our team understands that each and every day counts when a project is in R&D.

We are built for rapid prototype assembly and small lot production—we’re fast and efficient on work that most EMS providers find challenging. Our New England manufacturing facility can ship overnight anywhere in the United States.

IMS developed a process to mitigate excess and obsolete (E&O) charges on virtually all PCBA prototypes we build. Find confidence in our pricing and support model.

With our experience across a variety of production builds, IMS can offer strategic guidance on reducing complexity and cost. We can quickly identify problematic placements, unreliable trace and pad designs, and component sourcing challenges to increase product reliability and manufacturability while reducing overall cost.

As products move through prototype iteration, our focus on continuous improvement dictates that we will make design-for-manufacturability (DFM) recommendations. We are also available to consult on designs that may be causing issues at your current supplier.

IMS offers an extensive range of value-add engineering services that complement our manufacturing capabilities—all of which are proven to reduce cost and accelerate time to market. Engineering support can range from alternate parts sourcing to DFM and QC strategies—making IMS a true partner to electronics engineering teams across the U.S.

With our expert sourcing capabilities and tailor-made processes, we can take your bill of materials (BOM) and find components for the best price with the fastest delivery.

We understand the importance of delivery reliability, since a majority of our projects are quick-turn. We source components from suppliers that are proven, cost-effective, consistent in their delivery, and offer small quantities at a time.
