High-Quality PCB Assembly Services


The use of printed circuit boards (PCBs) continues to grow across industries as technology evolves and electronics become more complex. Each application brings different design requirements, manufacturing tolerances, and performance standards from consumer products to industrial systems. These variations call for more than just basic assembly—they require experience, attention to detail, and process control to meet the demands of each device.

At Odyssey Electronics, we provide a comprehensive printed circuit board assembly service tailored to your application and industry. Our team brings decades of hands-on experience to every project, using proven methods and precision-driven workflows to ensure reliable results. Based in Livonia, MI, we provide our services to clients across America and Canada.

Wave Solder + Selective Solder

Wave Solder + Selective Solder


Printed circuit board real estate is becoming more critical. We have found it vital to offer wave solder capability and be proficient with the varieties of selective solder. Our team has experience with manual assembly, auto-insertion, wave, and selective soldering.

When controlled properly, wave solder and selective solder return a lower-cost, highly repeatable, quality solder joint.

Electronic Testing

Electronic Testing


Odyssey Electronics offers a full complement of test services to ensure products are reliable and fully functional. We have developed inspection and test procedures that verify the quality of the product.

We begin with AOI and X-rays to qualify assemblies before they are tested. When provided, we use ICT, Boundary Scan, and functional tests to verify the product 100 percent, saving our customers time and money. For customers who require test development, we have partnered with local contract engineers.

Automated Optical Inspection

Automated Optical Inspection


To qualify the surface mount process, we have four automated optical inspection (AOI) systems. We inspect 100% of the SMT placements. For complex assemblies, we also utilize AOI to inspect through-hole components.

Conformal Coating + Potting

Conformal Coating + Potting


The surge of electronics being incorporated into new products has exposed many electronic assemblies to harsh environments. Not only do the electronic components need correct installation, but thorough protection is also necessary to ensure the safety and quality of the printed circuit board.

We offer conformal coating and potting to help protect your electronics from the elements that can cause failures.

Turn-key Assembly

Turn-key Assembly


We offer complete PCB assembly solutions to fulfill our customers' needs. We utilize the same robust quality and processes to build the finished product that we use to develop our electronic assemblies.

Additionally, we can warehouse the finished product and ship it directly to the end customer, giving our customers the freedom to focus on what they do best.

PCB Assembly Services FAQs


What File Types Should I Provide to Start My PCB Assembly Order?

To begin your project, we recommend sending us your Gerber files, along with a bill of materials (BOM) and pick-and-place data. These files give us everything needed to begin planning the layout and assembly of your boards, including layer details, dimensions, and component placement. Our team works directly with your PCB designer to ensure the design aligns with our production capabilities and quality standards.

We also welcome additional documentation such as assembly drawings, test instructions, or special handling requirements. Once we've reviewed your files, we'll walk you through the next steps and discuss lead time, material sourcing, and inspection procedures. This approach allows us to deliver assembled boards that match your exact specifications from the start.

What Types of PCB Assembly Do You Offer?

We offer full-service assembly options, including SMT, hole, and mixed-technology boards. Our SMT lines support low—and high-volume production with precision placement of surface-mount components, while our manual and automated through-hole processes accommodate a wide range of radial and axial part types. Every board is built with care, regardless of complexity or volume.

We also support rigid-flex PCBs and advanced assemblies that require custom handling. If your project involves multiple assembly methods or unique materials, our team will align the process with your design and production goals. We maintain consistent quality across every job, from a quick—turn prototype to a large-scale production run.

Do You Handle Final Assembly and Box Builds?

Yes, we offer full box build services and our printed circuit board assembly capabilities. This includes final system integration, cable routing, mechanical assembly, and packaging. Our box build process is handled with the same care and quality control used throughout our SMT assembly and through-hole work, ensuring consistency from board to enclosure.

We can also warehouse and ship finished products directly to your customers, allowing you to focus on engineering and business development. If you need a single enclosure built or ongoing support for a larger program, we scale our services to match your production model and delivery expectations.

How Do You Ensure Quality Throughout the PCB Assembly Process?

Quality products start with process control, and at Odyssey Electronics, we integrate automated inspections, real-time tracking, and ISO-certified workflows into every build. We inspect every step of the process, from incoming materials to final testing, to verify that each unit meets our performance and reliability benchmarks. We use AOI and X-ray imaging to catch defects early for SMT assembly.

We also support custom test procedures and work with local partners when functional test development is required. Our system detects and addresses potential issues long before the assembled boards reach you. This level of attention is what allows us to deliver consistent quality—even for complex designs or short lead time projects.
