1. Parts Cost

The cost of the SMT components, such as resistors and capacitances or ICs is the main factor in SMT assembly.

The best way to do this is by providing a BOM with all the related process requirements.

The BOM table is not the most important thing if it's a PCB copyboard. Instead, the functional description should be as detailed and accurate as possible.

Images of sample copy boards, with descriptions of the image details. Images include large photographs as well as renderings.

Prices can vary depending on the component type, packaging brand and buying channel.

Customers can either purchase electronic components directly from SMT processors or they can source them for themselves.

1) BOM

The BOM includes the model, package, brand and quantity for all the components needed.

The basis for SMT assembly is a complete BOM.

It is vital to check the BOM for accuracy and completeness to avoid errors and delays.

2) Process Requirements

The BOM and the process requirements are both important documents.

The requirements for the correct installation, placement, and soldering of parts are described to ensure product reliability.

The process requirements include, for example, component placement coordinates and welding temperature requirements.

3) The Cabinet Project: Special Requirements

The cabinet project requires detailed information, including special requirements.

Functional Descriptions: Give as much detail as you can about the function.

It is important to provide a detailed functional description of the board in order to ensure that it functions the same as the original.

Sample photos: Provide high-quality samples, taking them as many angles as possible and ensuring the clarity of the photo.

This helps SMT processors to better understand the appearance of the circuit board and the component layout.

Image Details Description: Describe each component in detail, including the model, its location, package type and so on.

This tool ensures proper installation and weld.

Large image and rendering: You can provide large images and renderings for the entire circuit board in addition to specific photographs of components.

The SMT patch processor can understand the overall structure of the circuit board and its connections.

2. PCB Complexity

The cost of SMT assembly is affected by the complexity of PCB.

The complexity of circuits, multilayer boards, and high-density component arrangements will lead to increased costs and more work for SMT.

3. Quantity

Another important factor is production quantity. The cost of processing SMT patches is determined by this factor.

In general, SMT processing costs per point are lower in large-scale production because fixed costs can be spread over more components.

The cost per point is higher for small batch production and custom PCB.

You can estimate the cost of processing by using the contracting form for the lowest price.

4. Technical Requirements

Some technical requirements are specific, for example, BGA (Ball Grid Array), precise positioning of ultramicro components or lead-free soldering.

BGA packaging requires an automatic positioning system and a BGA hot-air oven to ensure proper soldering.

Lead-free processes are used. Costs will rise because it requires special processing and the use of lead free soldering material.

The price for DIP after-welding is charged usually per component or solder point.

The cost of SMT will be increased by these extra steps.

5. Quality Requirements

Additional quality control and testing will be required to meet the high quality and reliability standards.

ICT and FCT, for example, usually require more labor and time costs, increasing the cost per unit.

6. Shipping and Packaging Costs

Delivery area also impacts the cost. Express delivery prices in different regions vary.

The packaging and transport costs are also distinct, especially for large quantities.

Summary

The price of SMT patches is influenced by a number of factors.

We require that you consider all aspects of the production, including: quantity, cost, complexity, technical requirements and quality requirements.

Before choosing a SMT processing provider, it is important to clearly define project requirements and specifications.
