Electronic military assemblies are used for military hardware. Compared to commercial requirements, these assemblies often go through more intense field conditions. Due to the harsh environments subjected to, the assemblies must be designed and built to surpass what typical assemblies can do. Field conditions are usually difficult and to accommodate, the assemblies have to meet...   Read more »

In order for surface mount contract manufacturing , a special method known as surface mount technology or SMT is used. With this, electronic circuits are produced whereby the components are mounted onto the surface of the printed circuit board directly. Once complete, the device becomes known as a surface mount device or SMD. (more…)   Read more »

Typically, products of surface mount contract manufacturing are smaller and more affordable, making them a more popular choice over the through-hole method. The three-hole method is actually quite old and with this, larger circuit boards with drilled holes are needed where in comparison using the surface mounted method, solder and two-in-one glue are used that...   Read more »

When it comes to military cable assemblies there are actually several different types. Each plays a critical role but has very unique components and capabilities. For instance, there are soldier electronic military assemblies that as the name implies are made for systems worn by soldiers in the field. Because of demand, the assemblies are extremely...   Read more »

Today, the world of manufacturing specific to electronic equipment has become extremely competitive. Unfortunately, this means that some companies take shortcuts in an effort to keep costs down, which trickles down to the end-user who ends up with a subpar product. Star Engineering, Inc. takes great pride in using only the highest quality materials and...   Read more »
