Quality Assurance Overview

Quality is a key tenet of our Innovation, Quality and Service (IQS) philosophy for success, and our commitment to quality assurance is the thrust behind everything we do. From the smallest grain of sand to the finished item, Natel is dedicated to creating products that consistently meet or exceed the expectations of our customers, regardless of the size or scope of their production needs.

At Natel, we optimize value through rigorous quality programs, which are controlled by the Natel Quality Assurance Manual. Natel assures the integrity of all the products we manufacture through the implementation of a quality system in accordance with MIL-PRF-38534 and AS9100 requirements. The hybrid microcircuit general specification (MIL-PRF-38534) is also used for process control, traceability, rework and screening.Natel's Quality Assurance organization ensures that quality is recognized and implemented during the earliest phases of program planning, product design, product manufacturing and customer service. Numerous in-process steps are taken to verify that hybrids are produced under control at all times. These checks include wire bond strength testing, die shear testing, and "Gold Unit" electrical testing, verifying that our final electrical test equipment always meets the required performance criteria.

The Quality Assurance function is implemented by a dedicated Quality Assurance Manager who interfaces with program management and the customer to define and document quality requirements and verify compliance at every conceivable stage of production. This commitment to quality has led to numerous recognitions which have been awarded to us by our customers.
