Programming can be done after SMT mounting assembly, but this method can only apply for prototype PCB assembly. When it comes to high volume PCB assembly, programming your ICs before assembly will be more competitive, you will enjoy cheap programming price, fast turns and zero defects.
In order to maintain high efficiency for our Complete PCB Assembly services,IC programming will be conducted with PCB fabrication, before chips are mounted on the blank PCB board. Our IC programming service supports almost any technology and package in quantities ranging from a small prototype run to large volume production levels. We can provide all commercially available standard sockets, new algorithms as well as specially designed custom sockets. The IC types, IC packages and program file formats we support are listed below:
