PCB Assembly

What is your lead-time for PCB assembly?

If all the parts are available, normally the PCB assembly job can be finished within 5 to 9 days in our factory. This means that the order can be delivered within 2 to 3 weeks once assembly job start.

About the lead-time for pcb assembly,however, we can’t fully guarantee the lead time for assembly orders as the customs clearing process is different (we guarantee the lead time for PCB manufacture orders). Like PCB manufacture orders, you can still locate the order process by using the online tracking system. A delivery tracking number will be sent to you once order is despatched.

What are your PCB assembly quality standards?

About the pcb assembly quality standards,we manufacture PCBs to meet IPC-A-610 Rev D Class 2 specifications as the default, supported by inspection and test criteria established by IPC.

How do we need to supply our components?

We encourage customers to use our components sourcing services. This is the most cost-effective and fastest way for PCB assembly. Bear in mind that our factory is in ShenZhen of China and 73% of electronic components in the world are originally made in Asia.

If you decide to provide the components from your site, please make sure each part is packed in an individual bag or tray with a label. Components which are sensitive to moisture or static must be packaged in compliance with their storage requirements.

What do you require in order to produce an assembly quotation?

Bill of materials (BOM) detailing the components to be fitted to the PCB with the manufacturers parts numbers and the components suppliers’ parts number (e.g. Farnell, RS, Digi-key). You can get the BOM template just contact our sales.

PCBA sample photos if possible. By allowing us to see the product pictures it will help us to give you the quotation faster.

In addition to the above, we would need details of approximate order volumes and a desired delivery schedule.

Do you need extra parts when assembling my boards?

In general, our process doesn’t require any as we do not experience much loss. However, to avoid any delays due to parts shortage or missing items, the extra parts is needed.

We would encourage customer to provide 3% extra parts (passive devices) and 1-2 extras for IC’s and other expensive parts. These unused parts will be return to customer together with the finished boards.

Can you provide test facilities if required?

Yes.,we are proud of our test facilities,it is the guarrenty of the high quality.Where possible we would prefer to carry out full functional tests before dispatch. We have more than 100 test equipments/facilities in our factory. This includes Vector Network Analyzer, Multi-channel Digital Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer, Programmable Power Supply, RF Signal Generator, Wi-Fi test set.

Why can’t quote the component cost before the turn-key order is placed

Component sourcing is not a simple task in real life. Finding proper parts/components from both reliable and professional suppliers is not easy. Price is not the only factor that must be considered when sourcing components. This job can take a few days for our experienced procurement engineers to carry out satisfactorily.

We only start this job when the customer places the turn-key order with us. Normally, the component cost will be provided in the first 5 working days once the order is confirmed. For most low-quantity orders (less than 50 units), the component costs are similar to what it would be if it was purchased in the oversea. This will eventually drop as the quantity increases. In the unlikely case that the price we quoted is not acceptable to you, you can choose to provide the components yourself.

Can you provide a Design for Assembly service

CHENONN ELEC provides design for assembly service,it is free of charge to customers. Those who have ordered PCB prototypes from us and are planning to place the production order with us. Our DFA service provides report based on the customer’s Gerber. By doing this, possible production problems can be addressed during the prototype stage.
