Electronics Assembly Lab
The Electronics Assembly Lab (EAL) at the Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL)
offers one-of-a-kind printed circuit boards, small production runs of high-reliability
boards, and a variety of electronics products and services delivered to the
most demanding quality standards. The EAL’s experience draws from SDL’s
design, development, integration, testing, and operation of thousands of rigorously
qualified space- and airborne sensors and instrumentation suites aboard over
400 payloads, as well as the delivery of numerous electronic systems for ground-based
research and testing needs.
SDL’s overall quality system is registered to the ISO9001:2000 Standard.
Under these guiding principles, the EAL is dedicated to providing high reliability,
overall quality and innovation from prototype to flight, with a focus on producing
products on time and at cost to meet customer requirements.
The EAL specializes in PC board surface mount technology (SMT) and thru-hole
assembly, lead forming, conformal coating and staking, and cable/harness assembly
and inspection. With NASA-certified trainers on staff, the EAL’s team
of technical professionals is trained to NASA workmanship standards in hand
soldering, SMT soldering, cable and harness development, ESD (electrostatic
discharge) prevention practices, and conformal coating, including IPC (Institute
for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits) rework capabilities.
The EAL also provides lead-free production of fine pitch and ball grid array
(BGA) components.
