PCBA OEM Material Quotes in One Stop

How long does it usually take to receive the most recent quotation 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 has three components (PCB circuit boards; SMT patches
and component welding). These three components determine the latest PCBA quote. The yt-electronic editor
will explain it to you today, in the hope that you can easily 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 data if it is complete. Separate charges for a specific process
plus other fees are required. It will take several hours to create a complete quote. It is another thing
if there are still many quotes to be completed.

2. SMT Assembly Section

This module is mainly 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 foot. The trick is to get the right number. A piece must have at least two feet. One piece
can be counted for one point. The price of a point could be more than the cost of a foot. There are only
a few points and no one wants to run a business that is losing money. 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 capacitors and special devices. It is easy to assess prices for conventional
components, as 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 and fluctuating prices.
The latest quotation cycle, therefore, is usually 3 to 4 working days.

Summary

Based on the analysis, it is evident that a PCBA quotation can take several days to complete unless a
company has stocked materials and the evaluation process can be completed in a short period of time.
Some PCBA suppliers 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. The
first person to submit a quote must be the one who comes up. We treat all customers the same.
