Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, represents a significant investment in modern LED production infrastructure. Strategically located within a major industrial hub in Southern China, the Jiangmen factory leverages regional supply chain advantages while maintaining stringent international quality standards. The facility is purpose-built for high-volume, precision LED lighting manufacturing, featuring climate-controlled production floors and dedicated clean rooms for critical processes to ensure optimal component handling and assembly integrity.
The surface mount technology (SMT) production lines form the backbone of LED module and driver assembly at the Jiangmen site. We operate multiple high-speed SMT lines featuring top-tier equipment from manufacturers such as Yamaha and Siemens. These lines are configured for maximum efficiency and precision, capable of placing components down to 0201 package size with placement accuracy consistently within ±25µm. Each line integrates advanced automated optical inspection (AOI) systems immediately post-reflow soldering, providing real-time defect detection for solder joints, component misalignment, and polarity errors. Dual-lane configurations allow for simultaneous production of different product variants, while nitrogen-reflow soldering environments ensure superior solder joint reliability essential for long-life LED applications. This SMT capability directly supports the production complexity required for integrated LED assemblies with connectors.
Aging and reliability testing constitute a non-negotiable phase in our manufacturing process, reflecting Beauty STC’s commitment to product longevity. The Jiangmen factory houses extensive dedicated aging test chambers with precise temperature and humidity control. All finished LED products undergo mandatory aging tests, typically ranging from 72 to 168 hours at elevated temperatures simulating real-world stress conditions. During this period, products operate at rated voltage while automated monitoring systems continuously track critical parameters such as forward voltage, luminous flux depreciation, and thermal performance. Any unit exhibiting performance drift beyond predefined thresholds is automatically flagged for failure analysis. This 100% aging protocol specifically validates the robustness of solder joints, thermal management, and electronic components—including the critical interface between the LED module and its integrated connector—ensuring field reliability before shipment.
Our OEM capabilities for LED products with integrated connectors are a core strength developed at the Jiangmen facility. We possess comprehensive expertise in designing, validating, and manufacturing custom LED solutions where the connector is an intrinsic part of the assembly—not merely an add-on. This includes engineering support for selecting optimal connector types such as JST, Molex, Hirose, or custom-molded variants based on application requirements for current rating, environmental sealing (IP67/IP68), vibration resistance, and mating cycles. The factory’s vertical integration allows us to manage the entire process from connector pin crimping and wire harness assembly through to final integration with the LED module and driver on the SMT line. We accommodate custom labeling, specialized packaging configurations, and unique electrical specifications while maintaining full compliance with international safety standards like UL, CE, and PSE. Engineering teams work closely with clients during prototyping to optimize connector placement, strain relief, and signal integrity, ensuring the final OEM product meets both functional and durability expectations for the target market. This end-to-end control over the “LED with connector” assembly process guarantees consistent quality and performance scalability from prototype to mass production.
