Supply Chain Counterfeit Awareness in Military Cable Assembly and Manufacturing

Counterfeit parts continue to threaten the security of the military. As counterfeit electronic component detection and avoidance measures are increasingly tightened by electronic manufacturers, counterfeiters are developing new ways to work fake parts into the supply chain.

How On-Site Engineers Impact Your Military Electronic Assembly

Current estimates show about one-third of military defense spending is for electronics. This means companies that provide military grade electronic assemblies must be on top of their game if they are to provide reliable, long-lasting electronic assemblies that meet the standards of aerospace and military. You don't want to trust just any electronic contract manufacturer with your turnkey electronic assembly. You will know you are working with the right company if they have on-site engineers. When an ECM employs engineers who are in-house, it can mean a big difference between just a finished product and a robust product that is ready for battle.

What to Look for in a Government PCB Manufacturing Partner

A lot of time, energy, and resources go into the design and development of an electronic product for government, military, and aerospace applications. Say you've reached a critical phase in development and you need an ECM you can trust. You don't want to leave anything to chance. But who can you trust for your all-important PCB manufacturing? You want an electronic contract manufacturer (ECM) that will not only meet your expectations but exceed them. Here are some things to look for when choosing a PCB manufacturing partner for your government project.

How to Combat Counterfeit Parts in Your Government PCB Assembly

The world of counterfeit electronic parts is a multibillion-dollar industry that doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. It is a problem the Department of Defense has been battling for years. Counterfeit components put military personnel and missions at risk. In an effort to mitigate this risk, the DOD has strict regulations in place for government and military electronic suppliers. This means you must be vigilant when it comes to the assembly of your printed circuit boards. Luckily, with extra time and effort, and choosing the right contract manufacturer, you can combat counterfeit parts in your government PCB assembly.

Design Considerations for Military and Aerospace PCB Assembly

In today's technologically advanced world, almost everything is made better, smaller, and more durable through the use of printed circuit boards, or PCBs. You'll find them in televisions, computers, stereos, digital clocks, microwaves, and even cell phones.

Employee Spotlight Mark Visetchaisi

Here at Levison Enterprises, we consider ourselves lucky to have the staff we have. We owe a great part of our success to the hard work of everyone involved with our business. Our company just wouldn't be the same without employees like Mark Visetchaisi, who joined our family here at Levison Enterprises this year as a Quality Manager and has already contributed significantly to our efforts and to our culture.

Is Your ECM Capable of Military Grade Cable Assembly?

Cables aren't usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think of military electronics. However, defense devices are useless without a way to power them. Enter the cable assembly. They can be used or anything from military ground equipment and field communication links to remote weapons control links and marine and airborne systems.

What Makes PCB Assembly for Defense and Military Unique?

Not all assembly of printed circuit boards is created equal. Different markets need to be handled differently. Such is the case for military PCB assembly. The nature of war is changing and the tools soldiers use in the battlefield must keep up. The PCBs must be as rugged and durable as the military personnel who use them. This means there are a lot of considerations that must be kept in mind during the PCB assembly process for defense and military.

Fast Isn't Always Better - What's Really Important in PCB Manufacturing

Not all contractors are created equal when it comes to PCB manufacturing. Many electronic contract manufacturers will make big promises of quick turnaround and cost savings. But sometimes making good on these promises causes assembly and fabrication services to suffer. That could lead to more unnecessary costs, missed deadlines, and major frustration. You want to work with someone who will get it right the first time. Look at the big picture when considering an ECM to partner with for your PCB manufacturing. Keeping in mind what's most important will lead you to the right ECM for your project.

Avoid Delays in Your Military Cable Assembly Manufacturing Project

In this modern world, there are few guarantees. The high performance level of military-grade cable assemblies is one thing you have to be able to count on, as well as a company’s ability to deliver on time and on-spec for your cable assembly project.

Turnkey Aerospace Electronic Manufacturing Saves Time and Money

Sometimes you need a quick turnaround. Or, maybe you just want the convenience of sticking with one contractor for your aerospace electronic assembly. No matter the reason, turnkey electronic Assembly might be the right fit. Think of it as a one-stop-shop for circuit-board assembly. Your turnkey ECM takes care of the entire process, including obtaining components, continuous quality monitoring, and final assembly.
