What Is Turnkey PCB Assembly?
Turnkey PCB assembly is a comprehensive approach that includes every phase of production under one roof. Instead of juggling multiple vendors, you can count on us to manage component procurement, board fabrication, assembly, and testing. We take care of the details so you can focus on developing innovative, high-performing products.
Our Turnkey Services
Component Sourcing
We collaborate with trusted suppliers to obtain genuine components, ensuring quality and availability. By leveraging established supply chains, we often secure bulk pricing advantages that keep costs competitive.
PCB Fabrication
Our team works with reliable board manufacturers to produce PCBs that meet your design specifications. We help guide material choices, layer counts, and other technical details to achieve a strong balance between performance and price.
Assembly and Testing
Once your boards and components arrive, we begin the assembly process. This includes surface mount (SMT) and through-hole (THT) assembly, all performed with precision machines and rigorous inspections. After assembly, we conduct functional tests, AOI, or X-ray evaluations, depending on your requirements.
Packaging and Logistics
Upon successful testing, we handle final packaging so your products are ready for direct shipment or further integration. We also manage any additional logistics, whether you need local deliveries or international shipping solutions.
Why Turnkey Matters
Time Savings: With a single source managing everything, you reduce administrative and logistical tasks, shrinking your overall production schedule.
Cost Efficiency: Combining procurement, assembly, and testing allows us to optimize the process and minimize markups.
Consistent Quality: Central oversight across each stage ensures fewer mistakes, stronger supply chain accountability, and faster issue resolution.
Simplified Communication: Dealing with just one point of contact eliminates back-and-forth between multiple vendors, keeping updates and changes seamless.
Our Turnkey PCB Assembly Process
Initial Consultation
We start by discussing your project goals, design files, budget, and timeline. This conversation allows us to understand your needs and provide a tailored quote.
Quotation and Approval
Once we have all the essential details, we’ll offer a clear cost breakdown, including component pricing, PCB fabrication expenses, assembly labor, and testing fees. After your approval, we move forward immediately to secure materials and schedule production.
Procurement and Fabrication
Our procurement team orders parts from verified sources while our board fabrication partners create PCBs according to your specifications. Throughout this stage, we monitor lead times and track quality checkpoints to keep everything on schedule.
Assembly and Inspection
As materials arrive, we begin assembly using cutting-edge pick-and-place machines and reflow ovens for surface mount components, or wave soldering for through-hole parts. We then perform quality checks, including AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) or X-ray evaluation to verify solder joints and component placement.
Functional Testing
Where applicable, we carry out functional tests to confirm that each assembly meets expected performance criteria. By simulating real-world conditions, we catch potential issues before shipping your completed products.
Packaging and Delivery
Once testing is complete, your boards are securely packaged and either shipped directly to your location or sent on to your chosen destination. We can also handle ongoing inventory management if you require regular production runs.
Advanced Equipment and Certifications
Our facilities operate under strict quality guidelines, following IPC-A-610 and ISO 9001 standards. We continuously invest in modern assembly technology, from high-speed SMT lines to advanced inspection systems. This combination of expertise and equipment lets us handle everything from single-layer prototypes to complex, multi-layer boards with fine-pitch devices.
Success Stories and Case Studies
We’ve worked with a range of customers, from startups building their first prototypes to established brands looking for a more efficient manufacturing process. In many cases, our turnkey approach significantly reduced time-to-market and lowered production costs by consolidating multiple services under one provider.
FAQs
Q: Do you require a minimum order quantity?
A: We support both small prototype orders and large-volume production. There’s no strict minimum, so we can adapt to your project scope.
Q: How quickly can I get a quote?
A: If you share your BOM, Gerber files, and any design notes, we usually respond with a comprehensive quote within a few business days—sometimes even sooner.
Q: What about IP protection and confidentiality?
A: We take intellectual property seriously. We can sign an NDA upon request and maintain secure data handling practices to protect sensitive information.
Q: Can you help with design revisions?
A: Yes. Our engineering team can provide feedback for DFM (Design for Manufacturability) improvements that optimize cost and speed without compromising quality.
