We only require your name and email address, but you can provide additional information if desired. Rest assured, we won't bombard you with unwanted emails, unless you choose to receive marketing communications by checking the relevant box. And, of course, you can unsubscribe at any time.

Currently, we provide standard shipping exclusively within mainland UK. However, we understand that you may need to ship outside of mainland UK, so we offer manual quotes for these requests. Simply complete the checkout process and request a manual quote, and we'll make every effort to meet your shipping needs.

If you're looking for rapid PCB assembly, you've come to the right place. Our typical production time is 7 days for quantities under 25 boards, and 14 days for quantities over 25. While delivery time may vary depending on the courier, we can typically assemble and inspect components in just one day and ship the same or next day. You can expect your PCBAs to arrive within 10 to 20 days of placing your order, and you can track your order status from your account dashboard. Please note that if you are free-issuing components, we can't start production until we have received all of them.

If you're new to the world of PCBs and PCBA, you might find the technical jargon overwhelming. Here's a quick glossary of common abbreviations to help you get started:

• ⋆ PCB: Printed Circuit Board - the foundation of the assembly, ready to be populated with electronic components.
• ⋆ PCBA: Printed Circuit Board Assembly - the finished board with components installed SMT / SMD: Surface Mount Technology / Device - components that are placed and soldered on the surface of the board using advanced Mycronic machines.
• ⋆ SMT / SMD: Surface Mount Technology / Device - components that are placed and soldered on the surface of the board using advanced Mycronic machines.
• ⋆ THT / THD: Through-Hole Technology / Device - components with legs that go through the PCB and are soldered on the opposite side.
• ⋆ AOI: Automatic Optical Inspection - all of our assemblies are automatically inspected for quality and accuracy using cutting-edge Omron machines.
• ⋆ Silk Screen: A layer on top of the PCB used to print component outlines, labels, and other text.
• ⋆ Trace: A thin copper line on the PCB used to connect components and form circuits.
• ⋆ V-Cut: A method of separating PCBs by making V-shaped cuts on the board's surface.
• ⋆ Stack-up: The arrangement of layers in a multi-layer PCB.
• ⋆ Panel: A collection of individual PCBs that are produced together on a single large board and then separated into individual boards.
• ⋆ Solder Mask: A layer on top of the PCB that protects traces and other components from solder during assembly.
• ⋆ Aperture: An opening in the solder mask used to allow solder to flow onto a component during assembly
• ⋆ BGA: Ball Grid Array - a type of surface mount component with an array of solder balls on the bottom
• ⋆ Gold Fingers: A type of connector that extends beyond the edge of the PCB and is plated with gold for improved conductivity and durability

With these definitions, you'll be able to better understand the language of PCB and PCBA design and production.

When designing and building PCBAs, having access to a wide variety of high-quality components is crucial. At our company, we work with a range of reputable suppliers, including:

• ⋆ Farnell
• ⋆ Mouser
• ⋆ Digikey
• ⋆ Anglia
• ⋆ Arrow (coming soon)
• ⋆ Avnet (coming soon)

With our BOM Editor tool, you can easily select components from these suppliers, as well as from our own SAS-stocked parts inventory. We're always looking to expand our selection, and we're currently working on adding Arrow and Avnet to our list of partners.

When you work with us, you can rest assured that you're getting access to the best components from the most trusted sources.

At our company, we know that keeping costs down is a top priority for our customers. That's why we offer a selection of commonly used SMD resistors and capacitors completely free of charge. You can easily spot these parts in our BOM Editor tool, as they'll have a cost of £0 and our logo as the product image. And if our software finds a SAS part that matches a part on your BOM, that line will appear in bold.

So, why do we offer these free parts? First and foremost, we want to help you keep the cost of your assembly as low as possible. But we also benefit from this arrangement: since we already have these parts in reels, ready for our pick-and-place machine to use, we don't have to deal with re-reeling components. It's a win-win situation!

All of our SAS parts are supplied by Anglia, a trusted partner with a reputation for high-quality components. The resistors are manufactured by Anglia, while the capacitors come from Samsung Electronics and Murata. When you work with us, you can be confident that you're getting access to the best parts from the most reliable sources.
