How We Do It

Sierra Electronic Assembly had simple beginnings with a committment to zero-defect, and on-time delivery of electronic assemblies. Our website is the first true marketing tool we have used. We have grown and actually thrived by keeping our customers happy. The power of word-of-mouth also helps us keep our prices very competitive.

We purposely located in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains because we believed our workforce would be of higher caliber and would possess the work ethics we desire - this has proven enormously true. The "Bluecoats" of Sierra Electronic Assembly take quality to heart every step of the way!

The efficiency of electronic assembly was our initial interest, and finding ways to make the assembly process more cost-effective and efficient for the companies we contract with has been our priority through the years.

Today, Sierra Electronic Assembly uses only the finest equipment in assembling components including the Inspecta Cam IC-500 shown at left.

The InspectaCam™ allows us to view the tiniest of components in comfort, and allows us much more accurate inspection of circuit boards. Use of these cameras also decreases employee fatigue. Inspecta Cams go a long way in helping us in preparing workmanship standards and failure analysis, for our customers.

Our reflow technology is state-of-the-art, using Novastar 2000 reflow convection ovens to meet - and exceed - your requirements. With six vertical heating zones (12 elements, 6 top and 6 bottom) our reflow soldering system delivers the output we need to keep your job on schedule.
