When Building Electronic Box Assemblies – Miracle Electronics
An electronic box assembly is an electromechanical assembly process that includes enclosure fabrication, installation of sub-assemblies and components, and routing of wires and harnesses. It could mean anything from a PCB assembly in a cabinet fill or wires, or a complex fully integrated electromechanical system with pneumatics and electronics.
Whatever it may be, you need to have your components placed in a project box that protects, as well as makes your product truly useful and accessible.
Designing electronic box assemblies in India presents its own challenges, which is why you need a manufacturer who goes ahead with the right approach. You need one who specializes in the capability you want to build, and has experience in building the particular product and components you’re looking for. Outsourcing your electronic box assembly is an easy task when you have such a reliable manufacture partnered with. But, while you outsource, you also need to consider a few basics to help the build process go smoothly. There are certain instructions you need to send to the manufacturer for building the box appropriately. These include –
Bill of Materials (BOM)
The Bill of Materials gives the manufacturer an idea of all the key components, with a clear mention about the materials that you will be providing, and those to be sourced by the manufacturer. You may also define every tiny detail like the adhesives, tie wraps, nuts and bolts, washers, heat shrink, etc. if you wish to avoid even the smallest confusion or misconceptions in the future. You should also clearly specify the tolerances and finish of each component if you want anything particular to be considered. All in all, it is best to specify every minute detail just exactly how you need it. If you’re too confused as to what materials or specifications should be used for your particular requirement, you can also communicate all your ideas and purposes to the manufacturer, and help him decide the best solution for you.
Assembling
Once all the materials and components are decided and discussed upon, along with all the specifications and details mentioned, it’s now time to move on to the process of assembling them. if possible, you can provide a 3D CAD model to help the manufacturer visualize the final product like you want it to be. Or, at the least, you must provide the assembly drawings with every detail clearly mentioned. However, if you’re not too sure, you can always define the purpose and requirement, and leave the job of designing and prototyping to the manufacturer. This can also help when there are large amounts of space, labour, and specialist tools required for the build.
Testing
Testing is always an integral part for any product, especially when it is an electronic or electrical device. The basic electrical safety testing, such as earth bond and flash tests, need to be conducted, thus specified well in advance. Other tests may include visual inspection, functional testing, factory acceptance testing, etc., depending upon your specific product. If you’re not too sure again, your manufacturer can help decide as to what kind of testing is important, as they will have the proper knowledge and experience of what will work best for your particular product.
Outsourcing and electronic box assembly inevitable requires close cooperation between the client and manufacturer. By providing all the above information, and every other detail possible, there would be lesser confusion, lesser misunderstandings, and lesser wastage of time and money.
