We are one of the few UK manufacturers who specialise in long board PCB assembly manufacturing. Long board PCB’s are printed circuit boards which typically exceed standard dimensions. Our long board PCB assemblies are essential in applications requiring extended form factors, such as:
• LED Lighting Arrays
• Telecom Equipment
• Power Distribution Modules
• Industrial Control Systems
• Specialist OEM applications
Our long board PCBs increased length enables designers to integrate more components or create continuous lighting or signal paths without the need for multiple interconnected boards. This reduces potential failure points, improves signal integrity, and simplifies assembly.
Producing long board PCBs requires specialist manufacturing and printing equipment. A key part of our process is precise solder paste deposition, which directly impacts the quality and reliability of surface mount PCB assembly products. For these oversized PCBs, a large footprint solder paste printer is crucial.
Our large solder paste machine can print an area of 1350mm x 500mm and supports extended board formats, ensuring consistent paste application across the entire length. Because long PCB boards can be more prone to warping or alignment challenges, accuracy must be maintained from end to end.
WPS’s fully automated, in-line solder paste printer enhances throughput and repeatability. Automation handles stencil alignment, board inspection, paste deposition, and verification with minimal operator input.
This not only increases speed but also reduces errors which are critical for maintaining uniform solder joints on large, continuous PCB surfaces. Combined, these capabilities ensure high quality PCB assembly solutions for demanding long board PCB applications.
