PNC’s comprehensive expertise in PCB design, fabrication, assembly, and box builds— all housed within our advanced 70,000 sq. ft. facility in Nutley, New Jersey— makes us the ultimate total concept company. For over 55 years, PNC has been a vital electronics supplier, proudly manufacturing in the USA and serving high-reliability sectors including military/defense, medical, aerospace, automotive, RF/Microwave, industrial, and consumer markets. By keeping 100% of these capabilities in-house, we streamline the entire turnkey process under a single PO, delivering invaluable efficiency and supply chain security to our customers.
In-house design capability is a critical advantage when engineering for PCB fabrication, rapid prototype assembly, and full-scale production. Because our design team works directly alongside our manufacturing division, they possess a deep, practical understanding of the entire production ecosystem. This seamless integration ensures robust Design for Manufacturability (DFM) that eliminates defects, prevents costly delays, and smooths out production bottlenecks before they occur.
Utilizing industry-leading tools like Cadence Allegro, OrCAD Capture, OrCAD PCB Designer, and PADS, we provide comprehensive deliverables tailored to your requirements. Standard handoffs include full Gerber data, drill files, native PCB files, schematics, assembly/fabrication files, and formal drawings formatted to your specific company standards..
Having the capability to manufacture printed circuit boards, PCB contract manufacturing, in the same facility also has its benefits for prototype PCB assembly and production PCB assembly. While the printed circuit boards are in the process of being fabricated, our PCB assembly division can work in parallel, creating pick & place data, SMT Stencils, work instructions, AOI programming, selective soldering programming, and prepare testing procedures to expedite the PCBs once they hit the SMT assembly floor. The work in parallel process makes for an efficient seamless transition from PCB manufacturing to Assembly.
After the PCB’s clear final inspection, they are transferred to the PCB assembly department. For a PCB assembly manufacturer in a total concept configuration, logistically, you gain 1-2 days shipping time, since you do not. The moment our bare boards clear final inspection, they are transferred immediately to our adjacent PCB assembly department. Operating as a single-source, total-concept manufacturer yields a massive logistical advantage: you instantly eliminate 1 to 2 days of transit time and completely bypass the need—and associated labor costs—for an incoming QA inspection.
PNC’s assembly division features multiple high-speed SMT lines equipped with 13-zone reflow ovens, 3D AOI, and 3D X-ray inspection. Complemented by dedicated through-hole stations, selective soldering, and precision rework cells, we ensure total assembly versatility. To ensure a robust, defect-free PCBA, PNC offers comprehensive electrical testing, including flying-probe, ICT, and custom functional testing. We have to outsource the PCB’s as well as a time savings of not having to perform an incoming inspection. PNC’s Assembly division is comprised of multiple high-speed SMT lines with 13-zone re-flow ovens, 3d AOI, 3D X-ray, thru-hole stations, selective soldering, and rework stations. If required, PNC can perform Flying probe, ICT, and functional testing to ensure a robust and error free PCBA.
Completing our total-concept lifecycle is our full-service box build and electromechanical assembly capability. Because your fully populated PCB assemblies never leave our controlled environment, we eliminate the risk of ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage often caused by external shipping and redundant incoming inspection handling.
Our box build expertise ranges from small, plastic snap-together housings to medium-sized metal enclosures and complex rack-mount systems. With your specific system test parameters, PNC's dedicated testing engineers and technicians can perform comprehensive functional and burn-in testing to ensure field reliability. When your project demands a true, single-source total-concept electronics manufacturer, PNC is ready to deliver.
