ITAR-Registered PCB Assembly Services
BSU Electronics is an ITAR-registered electronics contract manufacturer providing printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) for U.S. defense and aerospace programs. We support new product introduction (NPI) through production with controlled handling of technical data.
What ITAR Registration Means for PCB Assembly
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) govern the manufacture, export, and handling of defense articles and related technical data on the U.S. Munitions List (USML). For PCB assembly, this means controlled technical data such as Gerber files, fabrication drawings, and bills of materials must be handled by registered, U.S.-based facilities with appropriate access controls. BSU Electronics is registered with the U.S. Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
BSU Electronics' ITAR Compliance Approach
We control access to ITAR technical data, restrict handling to authorized U.S. persons, and maintain documentation and traceability throughout the assembly process. Our domestic manufacturing footprint keeps controlled data and production inside the United States.
ITAR PCB Assembly Capabilities
Surface mount (SMT), through-hole, and mixed-technology assembly; multilayer and high-density boards; cable and wire harness assembly; box build and system integration. Build standards include IPC-A-610 and IPC J-STD-001, with higher-reliability class builds available for defense programs.
Industries and Applications
We support defense and aerospace applications including communications and telemetry boards, RF and microwave assemblies, avionics, drone and UAV electronics, sensor and control systems, and ruggedized assemblies.
