Precision-engineered hardware platforms tailored to meet stringent French electrical infrastructure benchmarks, high dielectric clearance rules, and continuous load profiles.
Navigating the structural shift toward decentralized generation, industrial decarbonization, and EV fleet infrastructure across Metropolitan France and the EU single market.
Under France's ambitious "France 2030" re-industrialization framework and the multiannual energy program (PPE), French grid operators such as RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité) and Enedis require uncompromising power electronic stability. Distributed renewable installations demand PCBA architectures capable of reactive power compensation, real-time frequency stabilization, and compliance with the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) grid protocols.
France's rapid expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure (IRVE certification) across highway hubs, corporate depots, and multi-tenant housing demands ultra-rugged charging controllers. DC fast-chargers (150kW to 350kW+) generate extreme localized thermal fluxes, requiring high-Tg FR4 substrates, heavy copper conductors (3oz to 6oz), and ceramic dielectric isolations capable of enduring continuous 24/7 operating cycles without failure.
The French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE - Commission de Régulation de l'Énergie) awards large-scale solar and storage projects with strict criteria on life-cycle environmental impact and component reliability. French original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) require EMS partners whose manufacturing footprint incorporates ISO 14001 environmental governance, RoHS/REACH compliance, and full traceability down to the raw silicon batch.
Merging deep component tier-one access with rigorous European industrial quality control standards (IPC-A-610 Class 3).
While European domestic assembly shops frequently grapple with 20- to 40-week lead times for power semiconductor discretes, gate drivers, and high-voltage passive components, our facility in Shenzhen operates inside the epicenter of the global electronics ecosystem. With direct franchised channels (Arrow, Avnet, Mouser, DigiKey) and regional tier-1 semiconductor fabs, we secure SiC MOSFETs (Wolfspeed, STMicroelectronics, Infineon), GaN switches, and automotive-grade MCUs with zero delay. We guarantee authentic parts with full Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documentation.
Energy conversion boards operate under high thermal stress and elevated voltage potentials (up to 1500V DC). Our automated manufacturing lines are optimized for extreme multi-layer stack-ups featuring 3oz to 6oz inner and outer copper layers, ceramic-filled high-Tg (Tg > 180°C) FR-4, and aluminum or copper-based metal core PCBs (MCPCB). Precise CNC routing ensures Creepage and Clearance distances strictly conform to IEC 60664-1 insulation coordination standards.

| Automated Inspection | 3D SPI + Inline 2D/3D AOI | 3D X-Ray (AXI) for BGA/QFN bottom pads + ICT | Eliminates hidden solder bridging or voiding underneath heavy power SiC modules. |
| Protective Conformal Coating | Manual spray acrylic | Automated robotic selective coating (Polyurethane / Silicone) | Prevents electrochemical migration in salty coastal offshore wind installations (Normandy / Brittany). |
Engineered to endure the regional environmental stressors, grid interfaces, and industrial standards across France's major energy ecosystems.
Offshore wind turbines located off Saint-Brieuc and Fécamp experience severe salinity, humidity, and constant mechanical vibration. Our wind power controller PCBAs undergo automated conformal coating (MIL-I-46058C qualified) and potting protection, with IPC Class 3 solder barrel fill exceeding 85% to eradicate joint fatigue caused by low-frequency harmonic resonance.
Southern France benefits from massive solar irradiation, but utility-scale central and string inverters endure ambient temperatures topping 45°C inside metal combiner enclosures. We utilize thermal via arrays with conductive copper filling and high-Tg substrates to ensure zero thermal throttling in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) micro-controllers.
Urban e-mobility infrastructure across Grand Paris (including electric bus depots operated by RATP) requires EVSE charging controllers with integrated ISO 15118 (Plug & Charge) communication boards and Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) intelligence. Our assemblies integrate hardware-level cryptographic chips and isolated CAN bus channels for secure, seamless metering.
How our certified manufacturing protocols guarantee seamless CE conformity, electrical safety compliance, and frictionless customs entry into Le Havre or Roissy-Charles de Gaulle.
Our facility operates under rigorously audited management standards: IATF 16949 for zero-defect automotive electronic manufacturing, ISO 9001:2015 for quality consistency, and ISO 14001 for sustainable, eco-conscious processing. Every assembly is stamped with full MES batch serialization.
Energy electronics generate intense high-frequency switching noise. Our DFM and DFA engineering teams audit board layouts for trace loop inductances, ground plane continuity, and snubbing circuit placement, ensuring your finished equipment breezily passes EN 61000-6-2 (immunity) and EN 61000-6-4 (emissions) testing in French laboratories.
We don't just assemble; we validate under operational loads. Our custom-designed bed-of-nails and programmable load banks simulate true field operating environments: high-voltage injection, PWM duty cycle verification, CAN/Modbus communication handshakes, and 100% burn-in thermal cycling to purge infant mortality defects.
Essential clarifications on lead times, intellectual property protection, European logistics, and high-voltage design support.
We offer full DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) logistics options directly to your distribution hub or manufacturing plant in Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Lille, or Marseille. We handle all export declarations, HS code classifications for energy electronics, and EU import VAT formalities via air express (DHL/FedEx, 3-5 days) or dedicated consolidated air freight.
Before receiving your Gerber, schematic, or BOM files, we execute a legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). For flashing microcontrollers (STM32, TI C2000, NXP), we utilize encrypted automated programming jigs where binaries are isolated in protected memory with write-protection and read-out security bits permanently locked before functional test.
Yes. We routinely assemble 4-layer to 12-layer boards with up to 6oz outer/inner copper layers. Our vacuum reflow ovens and selective wave soldering equipment are customized to impart the necessary thermal mass required to achieve perfect wetting on thick copper planes without inducing thermal warpage or delaminating high-Tg FR-4 substrates.
Our engineering team conducts a complimentary DFM/BOM health check prior to quoting. If our automated component database detects end-of-life (EOL), not-recommended-for-new-designs (NRND), or excessive lead-time components, we present qualified drop-in replacements or pin-compatible second-source alternatives with datasheets for your R&D team's approval.
High-performance, field-proven PCBA models engineered for industrial automation, renewable micro-generation, and battery-powered applications across France.
