We are a respected supplier of technology manufacturing for PCB related hardware and have positioned our service help customers design PCBs with Altium layout tools and obtain entry to our rapid delivery PCB assembly facility.
We have been helping customers for over 37 years and conduct a wide range of PCB designs in Altium, including DDR3. applications. We have highly experienced layout engineers and understand the requirements of both the PCB manufacture and PCB assembly. Our experience allows customers to de-risk from both technical and time delays for challenging projects.
Our knowledge base ensures we implement the optimum PCB layout techniques and best practices. We work closely with our customers through the various stages of placement and routing to ensure all the requirements of the design are fully understood and implemented. Including full consideration for signal integrity (SI) and mechanical constraints with the generation of 3D models.
We offer the UK's fastest possible delivery for complex PCB hardware. With over 45 full time staff we have the resources to manufacture over 600 new products a year. Gemini currently manufactures over 90,000 PCB assemblies a year, ranging from rapid delivery prototypes to batch production orders of 10K.
We have made our reputation by providing complex SMT boards, on time critical orders. Our MYDATA surface mount lines can be set up quickly to build small orders from 1 to 50 units, with full capability for BGA and PoP (Package-on-Package) device technology. Even our skilled IPC technicians can hand solder devices at 0201 package sizes!
What makes us different ?
Our rapid SMT service offers unparalleled lead times due to the use of 'Solder Jet Printing' in our surface mount assembly department. The production of orders can commence immediately without the need to wait for stencils. As we no longer use stencils, we can remove the risk and delays, remove the cost of tooling and removes a number of known technical constraints associated with the use of traditional stencils.
What is 'Solder Jet Printing'?
The application of the solder paste directly onto the PCB, during the surface mount assembly process.
This is completed entirely without the need to use any paste stencils, instead direct from a jet printing head.

How does it work?
The printer shoots millions of small solder paste dots on the fly, at split-second speeds while moving above the blank PCB board. Just like an ink jet printer, it is completely non-contact technology. We can easily apply solder paste onto complex and challenging boards with high precision and repeatability. Thi smakes it suited to high technology boards using devices packages such as, BGA & PoP (package-on-package) devices.
Placing paste with such precision means we never have to compromise on the quality of the solder volume or position, unlike traditional stencils. Its even checked with on board AOI, in seconds. By removing the variables and constraints of stencils, we can ensure PCB assemblies are built to exacting standards. We no longer need to engineer, order, wait, set up and perfect the stencil process, giving rise to numerous advantages. The obvious cost savings mean we no longer need to charge customers for stencils.
Can we help your company?
In addition to our Altium PCB layout service and rapid PCB assembly service, Gemini Tec supports its customers with a full contract manufacturing service, inclusive of material procurement, product test and validation, through to a complete box build service.
Gemini Tec's facility has a wide range of manufacturing tools to build complex PCB products. In addition to our leading edge MYDATA printing and SMT placement technology, we use the very latest in multi camera AOI inspection tools, Ersascope cameras, real time X-Ray and even X- J-tag tools for product conformance.
