PCBA OEM Material Quotes in One Stop
How long will it take, on average, to receive the latest quote for Shenzhen PCBA processing? The PCBA
factory’s manufacturing process will determine the time it takes to complete a PCBA. PCBA in China
is the general term used for PCB soldering, which includes 3 parts: PCB Circuit Board, SMT Patch and component
welding. These three components determine the latest PCBA quote. Orinew Technology will analyse it today with you
in the hope that you can understand the OEM’s latest quotation cycle.
1. PCB Quote
For the latest PCB quote, PCB board
manufacturing instructions and PCB board data are required. Sort out the information if the data is
complete. A particular process needs to be charged separately, Plus other miscellaneous fees. It will
take several hours to prepare a complete quote. It is another thing if there are still many quotes to be
completed.
2. SMT Assembly Section
This module is primarily used to calculate SMT assembly processing charges. PCBA factories generally
calculate costs based on the number of points. Some PCBA factories charge one point per piece and others
one point per one foot. The trick is to get the right number. A piece must have at least two feet. If
one piece can be counted for one point, the price of a point could be more than the cost of a foot.
After all, there are few points, and no one will do a loss-making business. Don’t disregard the
evaluation because one point costs a lot. This evaluation can be completed in 1 hour.
3. Module Components
The components include resistors and capacitance. It is easy to assess prices for conventional
components because the market is transparent. Some special BGAs and ICs can be more problematic, as in
the Huawei scandal that made headlines over the last two years. Many unusual components are subject to
embargoes and other restrictions, as well as long clearance times for customs, high prices, and lengthy
approval processes. The latest quotation cycle, therefore, is usually 3 to 4 working days.
Summary
Based on the analysis, it is evident that the PCBA quotation takes several days to complete unless the
company already has the materials in stock and can assess the PCBA within a short period of time. Other
PCBA manufactures can complete the quote in a short period of time. Just that SMT and PCB patch quotes
are quicker. In some cases, like when there are many orders, the last quotation can be very tight. It
must be whoever comes first will be quoted first. We treat all customers the same.
