Production Capabilities
Automated Surface Mount Assembly
Essex has fully integrated electronics manufacturing capabilities including through hole assembly and automated surface mount assembly.  One of the primary advantages of in house assembly is the flexibility in  scheduling shorter production runs thereby reducing lead times of standard and special order product.

During one of the final stages of production, Essex performs an encapsulation process on each Keypad.  This process seals the Keypad's circuit assembly protecting the integrity of the circuit against the elements in even the most demanding environments.
