J-TEQ provides PCB assembly and electronics manufacturing for commercial aviation and the wider aerospace sector, supporting demanding, high-reliability applications. Our work has contributed to products used by leading aviation brands including Qantas, Air India, and Hawaiian Airlines.
Backed by an AS9100-certified Quality Management System, rigorous inspection, and testing, we maintain controlled, traceable production and consistently high standards throughout the manufacturing process.
Our core manufacturing capabilities support a wide range of aviation and aerospace electronics, including:
| Capability | J-TEQ Support |
|---|---|
| Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly | Three SMT lines with component placement down to 0201 |
| Component packages | QFP, QFN, BGA, µBGA, and LGA |
| Through-Hole Technology (THT) assembly | Hand, wave, and selective soldering |
| Inspection and testing | AOI, X-ray, Ersascope 2, ICT, and functional testing |
| Rapid prototyping | Working assemblies in as little as 24 hours to five days, depending on project requirements |
| Production support | Batch sizes from single-piece builds to 10,000-unit production runs, with larger quantities supported where required. |
We assess each project at quotation stage to determine the right production approach. If additional capability is needed, we can consider investing in new equipment to support the project requirements. Lead times will depend on material availability and the specific requirements of the build.
Our capabilities also extend to box build assembly, bringing PCB assembly, mechanical integration, and final product assembly together within a single manufacturing service.
Our advanced Surface Mount Technology (SMT) process provides the precision and flexibility required for complex aviation and aerospace electronics.
Across three SMT lines, our experts at J-TEQ can place components down to 0201 and support package technologies including QFP, QFN, BGA, µBGA, and LGA. This supports high component density while maintaining the precision required for compact, complex electronic assemblies.
Our robust SMT capabilities support a wide variety of projects, from prototypes and low-batch production to higher-volume manufacturing, giving customers a flexible route that spans initial build to ongoing production.
Through-Hole Technology (THT) provides the strong mechanical connections required for components and assemblies exposed to higher levels of mechanical, thermal, or vibrational stress.
At J-TEQ, we provide dedicated THT assembly using hand soldering, wave soldering, selective soldering, or a combination to meet individual product requirements.
Our team also supports both RoHS and non-RoHS through-hole processes. This provides flexibility for aviation and aerospace projects with different component, regulatory, and application requirements.
Testing and inspection are integral parts of the manufacturing process at J-TEQ.
Our Livingston facility provides a variety of PCB testing and inspection capabilities, including automated optical inspection (AOI), X-ray inspection, Ersascope 2 BGA solder-joint verification, in-circuit testing (ICT), and functional testing.
Our trusted engineers can design and build custom test jigs and fixtures around individual customer and product requirements, supported by an IPC-certified manufacturing team with Class 2 and Class 3 expertise and a fully certified internal trainer.
Where specialist testing falls outside our in-house expertise, we work with a network of trusted external testing providers to support a wide range of projects.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing helps verify that electronic assemblies can operate reliably within their intended electromagnetic environment without causing, or being adversely affected by, unacceptable interference.
J-TEQ supports EMC testing through an external specialist testing partner, helping customers meet the testing requirements of demanding aviation and aerospace applications.
J-TEQ’s Quality Management System is AS9100 certified, supporting controlled, traceable, and consistently high-quality manufacturing for demanding aviation applications.
Our quality processes underpin every stage of production, helping maintain strong process control, product reliability, and continuous improvement.
We can support burn-in testing to help identify early-life component or assembly failures before products enter service, reducing operational risk and supporting the long-term reliability required in demanding aviation and aerospace environments.
AS9100 is an internationally recognised Quality Management System standard developed for the aviation, space, and defence industries.
Building on the principles of ISO 9001, AS9100 adds new requirements for areas such as risk management, product safety, traceability, and process control. This addresses the stringent quality and reliability demands of aviation and aerospace manufacturing.
J-TEQ’s AS9100-certified Quality Management System supports controlled and documented manufacturing processes, with a focus on consistent quality, traceability, risk reduction, and continuous improvement throughout production.
