Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing
NAICS 334418 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in loading components onto printed circuit boards or who manufacture and ship loaded printed circuit boards. Also known as printed circuit assemblies, electronics assemblies, or modules, these products are printed circuit boards that have some or all of the semiconductor and electronic components inserted or mounted and are inputs to a wide variety of electronic systems and devices.
Start the review with products liability.
For Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing, the saved research highlights products liability, property, equipment breakdown. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What are the primary end-use applications for the finished assemblies — consumer electronics, industrial, medical, aerospace, defense, or automotive?
- Does the operation provide any design, engineering, or specification services alongside assembly, or is it purely contract manufacturing to customer-supplied designs?
- What is the approximate value of automated assembly equipment on premises?
- Are any customer-supplied components held on premises, and what are the contractual obligations if those components are damaged or lost?
- What is the prior loss history, particularly any products liability claims or customer chargebacks related to assembly defects?
- Are there any contractual indemnity, hold-harmless, or minimum insurance limit requirements from OEM customers?
- For Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about assemblies destined for life-safety applications?
- For Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about prior products liability claims tied to field failures, recalls, or customer chargebacks?

Establishments in this class load electronic components — resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, microprocessors — onto bare printed circuit boards using automated pick-and-place machinery, reflow soldering, wave soldering, and manual assembly processes. Finished assemblies are shipped as intermediate inputs to OEMs for incorporation into a wide range of end-use electronic systems. Many operations also perform inspection, testing, and rework of assembled boards.
