How it works

How does a complete turnkey PCB & PCBA assembly work?

Step 1: Consultation

1. If you have not created a schematic or the schematic needs to be updated

Our engineers can provide technical support. Learn more about our PCB design services.

2. Already have a designed Gerber file and need a quotation

For a fast and reasonable quotation, we need the following information:

GERBER file(RS-274 and RS-274X, Gerber X2)including following information

Material

Layer Counts

Solder Mask Color

SilKscreen Color

Copper Thickness

Does the via hole cover the solder mask

Surface Finishing

Quantity(Prototype,Mass Production)

For PCBA Quotation:

BOM (.xls, .xlsx)

Pick & place file (.xls, .xlsx, .txt, csv)

Step 1: Consultation

Step 2: Evaluation and Quotation

Our engineers provide free PCB file inspections to ensure there are no missing components or incorrect structures, and to check whether these file designs are within the capabilities of our production process.

  • PCB project: Quotation within 8 hours
  • PCBA project: Quotation within 12-24 hours
  • Free PCB file evaluation

Step 3: PCB Prototype

Before mass production, we recommend PCB prototype manufacturing. Through this step, check whether the design of the printed circuit board is reasonable, whether the function can be used normally, and whether the quality meets the requirements of mass production.

  • Can reduce production cost for customers.
  • Can help customers optimize the design of the circuit board.
  • It can bring technological breakthroughs to customers' innovations.

Step 4: Printed Circuit Board Fabrication

Once the prototype is validated, we will enter the formal production phase.

We will have all the components of the Bom ready at the same time as the PCB is produced so that assembly can begin immediately after the PCB is manufactured.

All circuit boards will be 100% inspected and tested. We will provide a shipment report for your review.

  • IPC-A-600F Class II. Acceptance Criteria
  • IPC-TM-650 Class II. Test Method Standard
  • ISO9001,ISO13485,ISO16949,AS9100C,ROHS,UL

Step 5: PCB Assembly

We can provide you with a complete turnkey PCB assembly, working with you from the design stage to product completion, saving you time and trouble.

All components are original, no counterfeit or gray market used components are used.

The lead time for PCB assembly prototypes can be as fast as 24 hours. Mass production can also provide fast assembly process within 3-4 days.

Step 5: PCB Assembly

Step 6: Inspection and Testing

PCBA inspection and testing is an important means to control product quality in the entire production process of PCBA processing. With the improvement of the pass rate of products, the pass rate of products will be greatly improved.

In our production and processing process, we have many inspection methods to ensure the production quality of SMT patch processing, DIP plug-in post-welding and other processing.


  • SPI detector
  • Manual visual inspection
  • Digital microscope
  • SMT First Article Inspection
  • AOI automatic optical inspection
  • X-ray
  • ICT test
  • FCT function test


Step 6: Inspection and Testing

Step 7: Package and Shipment

Package: We use vacuum packaging and outer packaging, cardboard boxes and thick cartons for all PCB products. This ensures that the packaged PCB products are not easily damaged during delivery.

Shipment: We cooperate with world famous freight forwarders: DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT. This ensures the shortest lead times and the safe and fast arrival of the PCB at the customer's side.

Step 7: Package and Shipment

Step 8: After-sale service

Every PCB made in our factory enjoys dedicated after-sales service. If you receive the goods and cause board problems due to our fault, you can give us after-sales feedback. The after-sales engineer will confirm the relevant problems and contact you in time to communicate and deal with them.
