COMPLETE CONTRACT MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

TCS Electronics, Inc. serves the transportation industry with complete manufacturing capabilities – start to finish. We offer lean manufacturing from prototyping to volume builds in printed circuit board assembly, custom cable and wire harnesses manufacturing and complete box and sub-assembly builds, which provides flexibility that our transportation customers come to expect.

In PCB assembly we have significant experience in both flex as well as traditional rigid board, single or double sided, multi-layered, automated SMT and special hand-working options, including through-hole. Our assortment of soldering options, board material options, and conformal coating options can meet any design specification needed.

Our Cable and Wire Harness capability can deliver cable and wire from 30 to 2 gauge, lengths from .5 inch to 500 feet, and in a variety of materials, such as braided, mineral insulated, molded, over molded, neoprene molded, semi-rigid, and shielded. We deal in most types of cable: coaxial, coaxial ribbon, flat, braided, multiconductor, pigtail, and armored. Our cables have been used in rail braking systems where quality and performance are demanded.

A competitive advantage of being both a printed circuit board assembler and a custom cable manufacturer is the ability and technical know how in building complete electro-mechanical box and sub-assembly builds. Our technical expertise and state of the art equipment means fast prototyping, quick volume builds and high quality results to the transportation industry.
