What types of components can be placed with SMT assembly?
SMT placement at Ninja covers passive components, transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits, including fine-pitch and high-density packages. BGA placement is also included as part of our SMT service, so you don't need to go elsewhere for more complex component types.
How do you verify BGA solder joints that can't be seen visually?
Every BGA and bottom-terminated component is inspected using our lab-grade X-ray machine, which gives us a clear view of solder joint quality beneath the package. This is in addition to the 3D automated optical inspection we run on all SMT assemblies.
Can you assemble SMT components on flex or rigid-flex boards?
Yes. We work with rigid, flex, and rigid-flex board types. Flex PCB assembly is well suited for designs that need to fit into tight spaces or require the board to bend as part of the final product configuration.
What soldering process do you use for SMT assembly?
We use vapor-phase reflow soldering, which provides precise, uniform heat distribution across the board. This method meets IPC-A-610 requirements and is particularly well suited for complex or densely populated boards where consistent results matter.
Do you source SMT components, or do I need to supply them?
Ninja handles full component sourcing through qualified suppliers, including long-lead-time parts. If you prefer to supply your own components or do a partial consignment, we can work with that arrangement as well.
