American Circuits provides exceptional electro mechanical assembly and mechanical assembly services, and one of our primary offerings is electro mechanical assembly for printed circuit boards. We perform our operations in our facilities using cutting-edge equipment and state-of-the-art technology. That’s why we understand the importance of finding electro mechanical assembly services you can trust.

Printed circuit boards are used in different industries, and the electrical and mechanical components are essential to ensure they do their job. We have the expertise and skills as an experienced electro mechanical assembler to assemble them to your specifications and requirements.

For over 35 years, American Circuits has been a trusted name in electro mechanical assembly and PCB manufacturing — a family-run, American-made operation based in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are ISO 9001 certified, ITAR registered, and UL recognized, and our team builds to IPC guidelines and complies with customer-specific protocols as needed.  That foundation of credentialed quality isn’t a marketing claim — it’s the operating standard our customers in defense, medical, aerospace, and telecom have relied on for decades.

What is Electro Mechanical Assembly?

Electro mechanical assembly refers to the integration of electrical and mechanical components, parts, or subassemblies into a functional unit. For printed circuit boards, this means precisely mounting, connecting, and validating every element — from wire harnesses and sensors to actuators and enclosures — so the final product performs its intended function without compromise.

Unlike standard PCB fabrication, electro mechanical assembly requires skilled technicians who understand both the electrical behavior and the physical tolerances of each component. Our team reads complex blueprints and assembly drawings with fluency built from over 35 years of hands-on production experience.

Only skilled electro mechanical assemblers can make these since the blueprints are complex. But since we’ve been doing this for many years, rest assured that you’re working with experts that you can trust. In addition, we’re fully equipped to handle any assembly and solve any problems if they arise.

Our Electro Mechanical Assembly and Mechanical Assembly Services

We perform a comprehensive range of electro mechanical assembly and mechanical assembly services in-house across our two Charlotte manufacturing facilities, including:

  • Wire harness mounting
  • Pneumatics
  • Enclosures
  • Board mounting
  • Sensors
  • Switches
  • Optics
  • Lights
  • Hydraulics
  • Actuators

Precision is vital in these types of electro mechanical assembly projects. These are very challenging, and only expert technicians and electro mechanical assemblers can successfully perform these assemblies since the components are very delicate. The assemblies are also done manually. That’s why the turnarounds can be lengthy.

All assemblies are performed manually by trained technicians using calibrated, current equipment. A final part count and inspection, both before and after soldering, are used to ensure your boards are manufactured the way you designed them. Because these components are precision-sensitive, we maintain strict handling protocols and conduct thorough inspection at each assembly stage — not just at final output.

Certifications and Quality Standards

Our quality infrastructure is what separates a reliable electro mechanical assembly partner from a vendor. American Circuits holds:

  • ISO 9001 Certification — our quality management system is formally audited and certified, covering everything from process controls to delivery
  • ITAR Registration — we are registered with the U.S. State Department for work involving defense-related materials and assemblies
  • UL Recognition — components and assemblies built to UL standards where required
  • IPC Compliance — assemblies meet IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards, and we support RoHS-compliant builds 

These credentials mean our processes are externally validated — not self-declared.

Common Applications of Electro Mechanical Assemblies

Numerous industries use printed circuit boards for a variety of applications. Therefore, you can find them on multiple electrical or mechanical devices.

Medical Industry

Medical-grade electro mechanical assembly demands consistent precision and full traceability. We understand the regulatory environment surrounding medical device PCBs and adhere to the exacting tolerances that clinical applications require.

Aerospace

Aerospace assemblies must meet stringent reliability and environmental standards. Our ITAR registration and IPC compliance give aerospace customers the documentation discipline and process controls their programs require.

Automotive

Automotive PCBs must withstand vibration, temperature cycling, and continuous operation. We select and handle components with durability in mind, and our assembly processes reflect the performance demands of the industry.

Military

Defense applications require compact, rugged assemblies built to survive extreme environments. Our ITAR registration makes us a qualified partner for defense and military programs requiring secure, controlled manufacturing.

Safety & Security

Security system PCBs run continuously, often in outdoor or variable-environment settings. We build these assemblies for long-term reliability, not just initial function.

Telecommunication

Consumer electronics and infrastructure devices depend on PCBs that meet tight performance windows. Our electro mechanical assemblers work to the specifications that telecom applications require.
