A box-build assembly must simultaneously meet design specifications and applicable safety requirements for the circuit, cables, and enclosure. While some vendors can provide one of these services, VSE offers a turnkey process that covers all device manufacturing processes. This capability uniquely positions VSE to meet customer needs and provide superior PCB box-build assembly services.

From PCB Manufacturing to Box-Build Assembly—All In One Location
Many manufacturers can provide box-building services, but very few have the expertise for electrical testing. A segmented manufacturing job requires coordination among multiple vendors to assemble your device’s pieces, which can increase the risk of errors and delays. With VSE, all of the sub-products of an electronic device—the PCBA, the wire harness assembly, and the enclosure—come together under one roof, offering several benefits:
Data coordination:
VSE works with designers to verify all design data at the beginning of the project. Coordinating design data with just one vendor instead of juggling multiple vendors and managing different data sets allows designers to focus on performance optimization.
Hardware compatibility:
The PCB, the wire harness, and the enclosure are all built at VSE, so customers don’t have to worry about assembly mismatches; VSE develops and tests system sub-products for smooth integration.
Parallel development process:
VSE synchronizes all design sub-products concurrently, ensuring seamless coordination between the various elements of the box build.
Troubleshooting:
VSE understands how electromechanical sub-products interact while detecting and correcting problems during debugging.
Complete Electronics Expertise for a Range of PCB Box Builds
At VSE, customers rely on our expertise and experience to precisely assemble printed circuit boards; that same level of quality goes into our box builds. These PCB box-build assembly services support projects with a range of specifications:
Size:
VSE can accommodate varying device sizes ranging from portable devices to industrial equipment.
Type:
Box configurations can vary from form-fitting packages to enclosures accommodating racks for multiple boards.
Power:
High-voltage capacity ratings up to 30 kV.
Terminations:
Board-to-board connections in the thousands are possible.
Electronics:
Most box builds contain PCB assemblies and cable and wire harnesses; VSE can incorporate other OEM electronics into a box build to complete electronic devices, such as power supplies and control panels.
Box Build Assembly with a Quality Emphasis
Sub-Assembly
All items undergo individual testing to assess operational performance, starting with the sub-assemblies (circuit boards, wiring harnesses, etc.)
Box Build
Labels, wire routing, critically torqued screws, and continuity test points provide inspectability at each level of the build.
Testing
The box is ready for service once project testing is complete according to custom-developed specifications and industry standards.
