This product assembly stage usually takes place after the PCB assembly phase has been completed. However some electro-mechanical assemblies used within the electronics sector contain no electronics at all and are simply used as sub-components of larger assemblies e.g. sub-frames.
E-Mech assembly involves the addition of all of the non-electronic components to the PCB assembly or the addition of the PCB assembly to an e-mech sub-assembly to make either a sub-system, rack or complete box build. Many different types of components are used under the badge "e-mech".
These include machined metal parts, metal castings, sheet metal parts (e.g. folded metal boxes, front panels etc) plastics, cable assemblies, switches, buttons, control knobs, fasteners and fixings.
The skill of the OEM/CEM putting together the finished electro-mechanical assembly is vitally important as it is often the aesthetics and cosmetics of the unit that the customer will see first rather than the quality of the soldering on the PCB assemblies within.
