Performance
PCB
We offer a wide range of PCBs including all conventional PCB technologies and materials and all processing techniques, including protective coating and legend printing.
Assembly
Our services in terms of assembling comprise assembling of rigid and flexible PCBs, optionally with or without procurement of materials. The techniques used include THT (manually or automatic) as well as SMT and COB (Chip on Board). Over and above this, we also offer protective coating and other special services. Quality guaranteed by the wtronic Doublecheck is paramount in this respect, guaranteed through optical inspections, automatic optical inspections (AOI), functional test and In-Circuit Test (ICT).
Mounting
We also offer you the assembly of modules or complete devices as well as partial or pre-assemblies. Assembly with or without material procurement and potting in an enclosure are part of our range of services. For complete devices we offer functional tests and endurance testing as well as final testing. And finally, we can also deliver your product packaged including your required documentation, operating instructions, etc.
SERVICE
With us, service is paramount. We offer a “Full Service” range of performance, based on Austrian quality management. Apart from full service procurement and full service production, we also advise our customers in the fields of process reliability, cost optimisation, certification and support programmes.

Orders
Our common EDP system enables us to place orders on any of the works in any required quantity. Naturally always RoHS-compliant.
Development
We will organize optimal production based on the data you submit to us. This often starts with the development. We offer you an existing network of development facilities at our works or at external partner companies, including the following: Creating PCB layouts, compiling specifications, development of customized products, internal and external EMC measurements (CE certificate), prototype construction, transfer to manufacture.
PCBs
We offer a wide range of PCBs including all conventional PCB technologies and materials and all processing techniques. Our know-how, our procurement at day-to-day prices and our pool of specialists allow us to operate flexibly and independently, which manifests itself not only in cost-effectiveness but also in on-time delivery.
Assembly
Your wish is our command also in the assembling of PCBss. We offer expert assembling in any of the customary techniques. Our service includes also manual assembly and minimal quantities, including the production of prototypes. Top quality is guaranteed as always through our wtronic Doublecheck.
Mounting
We will accommodate you and your requirements in terms of assemblies also. We offer you assembly of modules and complete devices, including partial or pre-assemblies. Assembly with or without material procurement and potting in an enclosure are part of our range of services. For complete devices we offer functional tests and endurance testing as well as final testing. And finally, we can also deliver your product packaged including your required documentation, operating instructions, etc.
Service
With us, service is paramount. Because we consider ourselves more than just a producer, we are offering a “Full Service” range of performance, based on Austrian quality management. We can therefore advise you also on process reliability, cost optimisation, certification and support programmes.
Logistics
Smooth quality production must obviously be backed up by logistics. Our supply warehouse allows us to offer you just-in-time delivery. To support your cost-effectiveness, we also offer Kanban delivery and component warehousing, materials administration and consignment.
Competent contact persons
For commitment to be recognised as an indispensable added value to technical products, we need people who strive for top quality of service with competence and passion.
The wtronic corporate culture is the epitome of just that and the result an above average team spirit. We are proud of every wtronic team member and every partner sharing with us this lofty ideal.
Our team of committed staff is available to deal with all requirements, contributing their experience, expert know-how and personal dedication.

The story of PCb assembling
The significance of PCB assembling increased considerably in the 1950s in the wake of mass production of radio and TV assemblies. This was driven by the automation of production steps. The assembled PCB had plated-through holes (PTH) and used THT (through-hole technology), which still required manual work. In the 1980s, after a further 30 years of development, the PCB industry had developed SMT (surface mounted technology), which now allowed fully automated assembling.
Manufacturing process
Today’s manufacturing process essentially comprises four production steps. In the first step, the specified areas are fully automatically silk screen printed, using a special solder paste. A solder mask covering the areas that should not be soldered allows accurate application of the solder paste. The PCBs are assembled with their electronic components in the next step. Either SMT or THT may be used here to assemble the boards.
SMT is used for assembling with components such as resistors, capacitors or microcontrollers, generally on the surface of the PCB.
Components such as terminal strips, cables or already SMT assembled PCBs which require careful handling, are often assembled manually, using THT.
The third production step is soldering of the components to the assembled PCB. The methods used are reflow soldering, vapour phase soldering and wave soldering. This is followed by panelisation, where a depaneling machine separates individual PCBs from a larger one.
To ensure flawless operation, quality control subjects the assembled PCBs to an array of tests, such as automatic optical inspection (AOI) and an in-circuit test (ICT) or a functional test.
