Box Build Assembly

Request Information

At MarVac Assemblies, our box build and sub-panel assembly services work with a wide range of products that serve diverse industries. Mostly performing manual assembly operations, such as riveting and drilling, we can handle full box builds and sub-assemblies — such as fuse boxes, wiring to fuse boxes, or terminal blocks — attaching connector ends to wiring and installing them within a panel. In addition, we employ pneumatic hand tools for some assembly operations. Read on to learn more about box builds and our capabilities here at MarVac.

Box Build Assembly Services

Box build assembly services entail putting together a complete electromechanical assembly comprised of a box, or enclosure, and the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) packaged within it. Box build services encompass assembling the unit, but also building the box itself, routing wires and cables, and completing all necessary part installations within the enclosure.

The final unit will contain not just printed circuit boards (PCBs) but many other parts, wiring, and sub-assemblies, as well. The potential parts that make up a box build assembly include the following:

• Standard or custom enclosures
• Fans, standoffs, brackets, and related enclosure and board attachments
• Primary or backup battery systems
• Customized wire harnesses and cable assemblies
• Standard and modular connectors (including D-shells)
• Heat sink attachments utilizing TIMs (thermal interface materials)

Also referred to as system integrations, box builds range from wired panels and small enclosures to integrated and intricate electromechanical assemblies with as many of the system components incorporated as possible inside the unit. Once you’ve developed and tested a prototype for performance, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and regulatory compliance, these assemblies are ideal for scalable production.

Box Build Assembly Process

At MarVac Assemblies, we employ the following steps to complete our box build assemblies:

• Gathering the requirements. This first step involves customers providing critical information to our team, including physical and electrical specifications along with a bill of materials (BOM).
• Building the enclosure. The box build assembly process officially begins with constructing the enclosure, which will be of the appropriate size to house all the required internal electronic components. Consisting of metal or plastic materials, the box build will be designed to hold up against any challenging conditions in the installation environment.
• Adding components. The next step starts with laying out the various parts to include in the box. Per your specifications, we’ll begin assembling the box build, making any required internal connections in adherence with industry and quality control standards.
• Testing the assembly. Box build assembly testing to gauge performance can cover anything from single parts to the entire unit. One or multiple parties may conduct this testing, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), contract manufacturers, or the engineering and design teams collaborating under the two.
• Packaging and shipping. We complete the process by packaging the end product in the appropriate container for delivery to either the OEM or the assembly’s end-user. In addition to the box build, we’ll also include any documentation and supplemental materials to ensure proper installation, use, and maintenance, including instruction manuals and power adapters.
