PCB Manufacturing & Assembly UK
PCB manufaturing may seem straightforward — load components, insert a bare PCB, and press ‘GO’. However, it’s a complex process with countless potential pitfalls.
A single error can turn a PCB assembly into a costly failure. The key to success lies not just in the machinery used, but significantly in the expertise of the operators.
DSL’s skilled manufacturing professionals meticulously set up the profile of the PCB and precisely place every component, often with sub-millimetre accuracy.
It’s this synergy of high-quality machinery and exceptionally skilled operators that enables the production of robust and reliable PCB assemblies.
At DSL, we understand that the perfection of PCB assembly is an art as much as it is a science, demanding both technological excellence and human precision.

Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is now the predominant method in Printed Circuit Board Assemblies. This is where components are attached exclusively to the top or bottom layer of a PCB. This technology has revolutionised PCB manufacturing and design. It’s doen this by allowing smaller, higher-density components, effectively miniaturising circuits that once occupied entire boards.
SMT components are machine-assembled using solder paste, a Pick and Place machine, and a reflow oven. This process is much faster per pin than traditional through-hole methods and requires minimal human intervention beyond the initial setup.
SMT’s efficiency and precision have made it a staple in modern PCB and electronics manufacturing, enabling the creation of more compact and complex devices.
Through Hole Technology (THT)
Through Hole Technology (THT) was the standard in PCB assembly before the advent of SMT. It involves placing components through pre-drilled holes on a PCB and soldering them manually on the opposite side.
Despite the rise of SMT, THT remains crucial in modern PCB assemblies due to its unique advantages.
Components attached through THT have stronger adhesion to the PCB. This is key in providing the mechanical strength necessary for parts like connectors, battery holders, and heavy capacitors to withstand usage stresses.
THT also offers greater flexibility in the size and shape of components that can be placed.
