Customer Interconnect Ltd (CIL) offers an exceptional electronics manufacturing service from its modern, state-of-the-art production facility in Hampshire. CIL have an excellent track record in the production and testing of safety critical and high reliability electronics used in a number of demanding industries, including defence, homeland security, medical, instrumentation and communication.
Our electronics manufacturing group facilitates high capability SMT and conventional electronics production and testing. We have four fully-independent SMT Lines and a comprehensive conventional electronics assembly team capable of assembling PCBs and conducting complete product assembly and testing processes. Our electronics engineers are trained to IPC 610 standards, assuring a quality finish and 100% customer satisfaction.
We have also established a reputation in leading edge technologies, providing customers with improved levels of miniaturisation. CIL currently possesses the largest independent chip and wire bonding facility in the UK! All of our processes are undertaken in line with ISO 9001 quality control standards.
CIL doesn't just manufacture your electronics – we also offer a comprehensive design service, providing a complete circuit and product design facility which employs CAD software for Printed Circuit Board and Advanced Substrate Circuit design. Our wealth of experience and breadth of expertise is at the disposal of our clients, helping them to create electronic circuitry in the most practical and cost-effective way.
After helping you to design your electronic assemblies, we can also offer a rapid prototype and early model production service. Our highly flexible production lines are quickly and easily configured to meet the production needs of your design. Indeed, in some cases we have even completed same day production!
So for an all encompassing electronics design, prototyping and manufacturing service, Custom Interconnect Ltd is your premium choice of partner. Give us a call today for an initial discussion of your requirements.

CIL's manufacturing group offers a comprehensive electronics assembly service. We have an area dedicated to SMT assembly, offering a great combination of flexibility and technical capability. The Surface Mount Assembly area regularly carries out the placement of 0201, BGA, and even Bare Die
components, while the use of leaded, unleaded and HMP specialised solders is commonplace. We have four fully automatic SMT assembly lines, allowing CIL to accommodate for small to large (hundreds, thousands) production volumes. To find out about the technology we use on these lines, pleasefollow the link to the SMT Board Assembly page on the CIL website.

CIL offers a full product build service which includes the assembly of the electronics and PCBs into the final product. This can be anything from a small desktop instrument or hand held device, to more complex assemblies employing mechanical frames, turned parts and mouldings. Flowline production facilities and In-Line testing equipment enables us to cater for high volumes or lower volume specialised builds. We also offer to test and configure the final product ready to be used in our customers' own production areas, or to be shipped directly to the end user.

CIL has built a fast track purchasing team that are quickly able to determine the critical tasks and procurement needs of any given project. This fast track purchasing activity can be incorporated into the main MRP system or excluded and micro-managed by CIL. Our customers are provided with data
and samples and are assisted by the CIL Supply Chain in order to ensure they retain the technical support available from component manufacturers. We also provide estimates and commercial proposals for new projects.

Between 3 and 5 days are usually allotted for the production and manufacturing cycles of a new project. However, additional tests (such as flying probe testing) of early models may result in longer time-frames, depending on the complexity and coverage of the assemblies involved. We posses our own X-Ray and 3D measuring equipment, meaning we do not need to sub-contract the project. This tends to result in shorter lead times.

We use both epoxies and eutectic solders to complete conductive and non-conductive die bonding. Our facilities currently include two fully automatic die bonders capable of large throughputs, as well as one manual die bonder for tight tolerance die placement. These are used for a variety of semi-conductor die types, including LEDs, ASICs, MEMs and Sensors that are typically used in medical, industrial and commercial devices. We have the capability to die bond to a range of substrates, including Alumina, Metallised Ceramic, Carbon Fibre, FR4 and Chip on Flex. CIL is particularly experienced in bonding Opto-electronic dies.

We use wedge bonding and ball bonding processes to bond aluminium and gold wiring. Over the past few years, CIL has invested heavily in this area and has acquired two fully automatic aluminium wedge bonders and one automatic gold ball bonder, as well as an additional manual heavy gauge aluminium wire bonder. These state-of-the-art machines, coupled with our high precision die bonders, mean CIL offers a bonding capability that is unrivalled anywhere in the UK.

We offer a full design solution that includes circuit design using PADS PCB CAD including SPICE simulations, PCB layout using CAD, Design for Test, Project management, global component sourcing, product certification and qualification (such as CE marking), and lead free compliance. To find out more about our hardware design service, please visit our website or simply give us a call!
