Capabilities & Capacity

Manufacturing Capabilities

  • Low-volume and prototype-ready production
  • Small-lot flexibility with full serialization and traceability
  • Integrated test development and automation
  • Prototype-to-Production Capacity
  • First Article Manufacturing
  • Domestic US manufacturing (3rd shift capacity availability)

Tin Whisker Mitigation

Spirit’s process removes 99.9% of the pure tin and replaces it with SnPb to prevent tin whiskers. Our process leaves the integrity of the original pad for high quality electrical interconnect.

Gold Mitigation per J-STD-001

Gold mitigation is the process of removing or reducing excess gold plating from electronic component leads, terminals, and surfaces prior to soldering, in order to prevent gold embrittlement and ensure reliable solder joint integrity.
