About IC Breakout
IC Breakout is a family-owned electronics manufacturing and engineering support company based in Reno, Nevada. Founded in 2014, we set out to be a reliable, practical resource for engineers and product teams developing real hardware.
We focus on helping teams move faster from concept to production by providing support that reduces delays, improves manufacturability, and solves the kinds of problems that commonly slow down development. Whether it's early prototypes or low-volume production, our goal is to make the process more predictable and easier to execute.
Our facility operates independently of the grid, powered by over 28kW of solar generation with 90kWh of battery storage, supporting both single-phase and three-phase systems. This setup reflects our commitment to reliability, resilience, and long-term sustainability in our operations.
What We Do
PCB Assembly
Surface mount, through-hole, and mixed-technology assembly from single prototypes to regular production runs.
Prototyping
Fast-turn engineering builds designed to help you validate your designs, test functionality, and iterate quickly.
Production Support
Low-to-mid volume manufacturing with strict process controls and repeatable quality built into every batch.
Who We Work With
Startups
Hardware startups needing a reliable manufacturing partner to move from early proof-of-concept to pilot production runs without the massive overhead.
Engineers
Electrical and mechanical engineers who need a shop that speaks their language, catches footprint errors early, and delivers working boards.
Product Teams
Established product teams looking for continuous manufacturing support, test fixture design, and supply chain reliability for their electronics.
How We Work
We focus on practical engineering collaboration. We are not a black-box CM where you just send files and hope for the best.
Communication
Direct lines of communication to discuss your project, iron out BOM details, and resolve technical challenges before they hit the manufacturing floor.
Manufacturability
We review designs for DFM/DFA up front, helping you eliminate costly mistakes, reduce manual assembly time, and optimize for long-term production.
Real-world Constraints
We understand the realities of shipping physical hardware: part shortages, lead times, tolerance stackups, and budget limits. We work within them.
Our Philosophy
Quality
We don't cut corners. From thorough solder paste inspection to comprehensive functional testing, we ensure what leaves our facility works.
Repeatability
A successful prototype is just the first step. We build processes to guarantee that board #100 and board #10,000 function exactly like board #1.
Real Manufacturing
This isn't hobby-level assembly. We utilize state of the art paste jet printing, professional-grade PNP machine, vapor phase reflow, and rigid quality control practices for every job.
