About Hinrichs Electronic
Hinrichs Electronic is an electronics company founded in 1972 and headquartered in Coburg that develops industrial microcontroller-based control systems and manufactures them in series production. Its range of services extends from circuit development and PCB layout to hardware and software development, the construction of prototypes, pre-series and small series, and the manufacture of complete assemblies. Production uses SMD pick-and-place machines with multiple panels (pin-to-pin spacing down to 0.4 mm respectively package size 0402), conventional through-hole (THT) PCB assembly, vapor phase, selective and wave soldering, as well as assembly work for the completion of mechanical and electronic modules. Testing is carried out with flying probe testers, automatic optical inspection and test adapters. Products include industrial timers, microprocessor controls with human-machine interface, and robust communication systems. Customers come from industry, automotive, mechanical engineering, medical technology, safety engineering, the food industry and the fire services, including control systems for turntable ladders on fire-fighting vehicles.
