Eight specialist services. One trusted UK partner.
Founded in 1970, Synatel has delivered precision electronics manufacturing from our ISO 9001-certified facility in Cannock, Staffordshire. From component sourcing through to final inspection, every service is completed in-house by our specialist team.
Component Sourcing
BOM-based sourcing through approved supplier networks, including availability checks and customer-approved alternatives.
- BOM Review: Every component sourced, verified and confirmed available.
- Electronic Components: Semiconductors, resistors, capacitors and ICs, RoHS compliant and traceable.
- Mechanical Components: Metal work, plastic enclosures and made-to-measure packaging.
- Approved Suppliers: No grey market parts unless specifically requested.
Component Kitting
Components counted, labelled and organised into traceable kit sets, ready for production.
- Kitting for SMD and Through-Hole Components: Tailored solutions for both technologies.
- Kits for Prototyping and Production: From small prototype kits to bulk production quantities.
- Quality Control and Testing: On all critical components.
- Alternative Parts: Suitable alternatives reviewed and agreed with the customer before substitution.
PCB Assembly
SMT and through-hole assembly for prototypes, low-volume builds and repeat production.
- SMT Assembly: Advanced SMT machines for fast and accurate component placement.
- Through-Hole Assembly: Manual and wave soldering for robust, reliable connections.
- Printed Circuit Board Assembly: Single-sided, double-sided and multilayer PCBs.
- Electronic Assembly: Complete electronic assembly including full product builds with box builds and cable assemblies.
Cable Assembly
Custom cables, looms and wiring harnesses assembled and electrically tested in-house.
- Cable Cutting and Preparation: Cutting, stripping and tinning to specification.
- Wiring Harnesses and Looms: Built to customer specification.
- Soldering to PCBs: Cables soldered directly to printed circuit boards.
- Junction Box Wiring: Cable wiring to junction boxes and enclosures.
Conformal Coating
Acrylic, silicone and polyurethane coatings with selective masking and UV inspection.
- Material Procurement: Identification and sourcing of suitable coating and potting compounds.
- Thermal Analysis: Heat dissipation and expansion analysis when electronics are potted.
- Application Methods: Spraying, dipping and brushing methods available.
- Coating Types: Acrylic, silicone and polyurethane for moisture, chemical and environmental protection.
Box Build
PCBs, cables and mechanical assemblies integrated and tested to form a complete product.
- Mechanical Assembly: Full mechanical integration and custom enclosures in metal or plastic.
- Electronic Assembly: Precise assembly of all electronic components.
- Sub-Assembly Testing: Comprehensive testing of individual components before final assembly.
- Full Product Testing: Complete functional testing of the finished product.
Product Testing
Project-specific electrical and functional testing against agreed acceptance requirements.
- Custom Test Rig Development: We design and build test rigs tailored to your requirements.
- Functional Testing: Comprehensive evaluation of all electronic assemblies.
- End-to-End Product Testing: From sub-assembly to finished product.
- Performance Testing: Verifying operational and performance benchmarks.
Inspection & Rework
Workmanship inspection, fault investigation and controlled rework to agreed standards.
- Electronic Inspection: Visual aids and AOI technology to inspect all components.
- PCB Inspection: Surface mount, through-hole and final assembly stage inspection.
- PCB Repair: Minor fixes to complete board restoration.
- Rework and Repair: Handling defective components and assemblies.
