Short-run assembly PCB (Printed Circuit Board) refers to the process of producing a small number of PCBs typically for prototyping or testing purposes. This process involves the use of specialised equipment and techniques to assemble the PCBs in a cost-effective and timely manner.

The assembly process typically involves placing and soldering components onto the PCB using automated machinery or hand soldering techniques. The PCBs are then tested to ensure they meet the required specifications before being shipped to the customer.

Short-run assembly PCB services are often provided by specialized electronics manufacturing companies that have the expertise and equipment to produce high-quality PCBs quickly and efficiently. These companies may offer additional services such as design assistance, component sourcing, and testing to provide a complete solution for their customers.
