FAQ
What documentation or files are required for a turnkey assembly?
- Gerber files that include top and bottom silkscreen and solder paste layers.
- The Centroid data file which contains rotations, component locations, and reference designators.
- BOM (.xls) with vendor names, quantities, reference designators, part and package descriptions, and quantities.
- Types of components, including SMT, through-hole, fine pitch, BGA, and more.
- Any additional instructions and requirements.
These documents and files are essential to ensure a smooth process for turnkey assembly.
Do you offer any assistance in part substitutions?
Our component engineers will provide suggestions on alternative component models and provide corresponding datasheets to customers for confirmation. The final decision is in your hands.
How do you store the circuit boards before assembly?
We store the PCBs in vacuum-sealed, heat-sealed, moisture-barrier bags to ensure their protection.
In addition, we have the necessary infrastructure and equipment for baking the boards if they are intended for medical and aerospace applications.
What quality and process control standards govern your PCB manufacturing operations?
PCB manufacturing operations are governed by a combination of internationally recognized quality systems and process control standards. Manufacturing workflows are typically aligned with ISO 9001–based quality management systems, while production and inspection criteria follow IPC specifications such as IPC-6012 for rigid printed boards and IPC-A-600 for visual acceptance. For high-reliability applications, enhanced process controls, traceability, and inspection levels are implemented to meet stricter customer and industry requirements. These standards ensure consistent build quality, controlled manufacturing variation, and long-term electrical and mechanical reliability across bare PCB production.
How does a PCB manufacturer ensure process consistency across multiple production batches?
Process consistency in PCB fabrication is achieved through standardized process parameters, controlled material sourcing, documented work instructions, in-process inspections, and traceability from raw materials to finished bare PCBs. Manufacturers lacking batch-level control often show large quality variation between pilot and volume production.
What documentation is required to start PCB fabrication?
To initiate PCB fabrication, manufacturers typically require Gerber files, drill data, approved stack-up details, material specifications, impedance requirements, and fabrication notes. Clear documentation helps ensure the fabricated PCB accurately matches the design intent.
