How To Choose The Right PCB Assembly Manufacturer?
With the rapid development of economy and technology, the rise of electronic industry has
become an inevitable trend of social development, PCB is the backbone of the electronics
industry. If you want to realize the perfect function of PCB, you should choose a good PCBA
company.
What is PCBA?
PCBA is printed circuit board + components assembly. It is the process of combining electronic
components with bare circuit boards. It is mainly divided into SMT (Surface Mounted Technology)
and DIP soldering (Dual In-line Package Soldering). In addition, many PCBA companies are now
responsible for other follow-up processes, such as installation programs, performance tests, and
so on. We can understand PCBA as finished product of electronic circuit board.
Why do you need PCBA
manufacturer?
PCBA manufacturers provide one-stop
services--electronic components
purchase, PCB procurement, SMT, DIP

processing and testing etc. The customer only needs to provide complete information (such as
gerber file, BOM, pick and place file, testing guide, etc.) and then wait for the delivery. Using PCB
assembly manufacturer is a popular phenomenon in electronic area. PCBA company usually has
a sound department system, clear division of labor and rich experience. They have a wide range
of sourcing channels that can help customers save costs and time. Moreover, If electronic
products need to be mass-produced, the placement work cannot be performed manually, and
assembly equipment and technicians are required. Therefore, it has become a trend to find a
PCBA manufacturer that provides one-stop services in the electronics industry.
How to choose a Right PCBA Manufacturer?
When you decide to cooperate with a PCBA manufacturer to help you assemble circuit boards,
you need to find a company has rich experience and skills. In so many companies, how can to find
the right one? Normally, mainly include the following characteristics:
1.Keeping Time
A qualified PCBA company should first of all be punctual. The customers cooperate with PCBA
company is to finish the electronic product as soon as possible and get an earlier opportunity in
the market. If they cannot complete within the specified time, you may be preempted by
competitors, and the product will lose its competitiveness, and maybe can influence your
customer's projects if your PCBA can not delivery on time. So before you hand the project over to
a company, please make sure whether they are punctual and can ensure the goods can be
delivered on time.
2.Experience
In recent years, the PCBA industry is experiencing great challenges. Some poorly managed or bad
quality PCBA manufacturers were close down one after another in this period. Years of
experienced reflects the strength of a PCBA manufacturer in some extent. In addition, you should
also ask or search about the company how much quantity they can produce, what fields of
projects they have done, and whether they have made electronic PCB products related to your
industry and so on. These information can be found online, and you can also ask their sales or
their customers directly .
3.Capacity
First of all, checking whether the factory production equipment is complete. A normal and
complete PCBA production line should be equipped with solder paste printing, SMT, reflow
soldering, wave soldering, AOI detector, X-ray and other equipment.
Secondly, we should ask whether the capability of equipment can meet your process
requirements, such as the minimum packaging for SMT machine to assemble, the maximum PCB
board width that the equipment can process.
Thirdly,you need to see if the company has certifications, for example ISO9001, TS16949.The

3. www.86pcb.com
more certificates, the more professional the factory can be. By checking the qualification
certificate, you can see the production quality and management of this PCBA company.
Lastly, the PCBA manufacturer provide a one-stop service would be more beneficial. If PCBA
company can complete the installation procedure and test, it is better to check the performance
of the circuit board, and if there is any problem, it can be solved before delivery.
4. Service
Moreover, a good PCBA company should not only finish production, but also keep close contact
with customers. They should always update the status of the order to the customer, inform the
customer immediately if there is any problem or they have a better suggestion about the project,
and discuss with the customer for beter solution. It is also important whether they can accept
any kinds of assemble requirements. Good cooperation, fast response, professional skills can let
you free from worry. A good sense of service can take the initiative to take responsibility when
customers encounter problems and quickly help customers to solve problems.
5.Price
Price is not the only way to consider whether to cooperate, but it is still an important aspect. You
need to know the MOQ, price of samples, price of mass production. More quantity, the unit
price can be lower. If testing or special packaging is required, the cost will definitely be higher
than that of just assemble components. And the distance from the PCBA company will also affect
the cost. If the weight and volume of the shipped products are large, you have to take the freight
factor into account .
There are high and low prices in printed circuit board assembly industry, but lower is not better.
Because purchase from formal channel original outfit electronic component cost of original
factory should be transparent. If the quotation is far below the industry standard, you should
keep your eyes open. We do not exclude some opportunistic manufacturers use second-hand or
counterfeit to reduce the cost, which has a great impact on the stability of product quality. So
don't just go for low prices.
6. Location
PCB industry is spread all over the world, developed countries in Europe and America started
early, technology and development are relatively advanced. In recent years, China has gradually
improved its position in the electronic manufacturing industry by virtue of its advantages in labor
force, resource and policies. Since 2006, China has surpassed Japan, PCB production and output
value ranked first in the world. Compared with other countries, PCBA manufacturers in China are
more cost-effective.

locally.
This is a Rigid-Flex PCBA. It is use for an instrument to testing car’s performance.
This is our packaging for a car audio control board.There are many plug-in LED lamp-post on the
control board. Ordinary packaging can hardly protect the lamp-posts to tilt and damage due to
shake during transportation, so we made blister boxes for these PCBAs.
This is the control board for the customer of the quadcopter, this customer introduced us to his
friends, and one of his friends had placed other projects in our company.
