Prototype PCB Assembly

Prototype PCB Assembly (PCBA) is one of our PCB assembly services. The term prototype PCB Assembly refers to a fast prototype PCBA used to confirm whether the design meets functioning, DFM, DFA, DFT, cost and other considerations. Just a few pieces quick-turn prototypes with low cost are helpful for designers in bugs finding and design updating.

Under the seamless team work of our PCB house, SMT house, and our experienced components sourcing specialists, MADPCB runs the fastest flexible assembly process to ensure providing you inexpensive prototype PCB assembly at the fastest turnaround.

For becoming your reliable prototype assembly provider in aspects of rigid board, Alu PCB, flexible circuit (FPC) and rigid-flex PCB, MADPCB has equipped with advanced SMT assembly lines, including solder paste printers, pick-and-place machines, reflow soldering ovens, SPI, AOI, X-ray and etc.

 

 

 

At MADPCB, we are capable of handling complete PCB assembly for prototype quantities from 5 to 50pcs boards. Prototype PCB assembly service allows us to have complex PCB designs built for testing with high-quality, professional electronic assembly workmanship, so you never have to worry about PCB assembly (PCBA) quality factoring into your test results. Our prototype assembly line has a unique layout design that allows a flexible combination of automated and manual components loading stations. We can also easily solder fine pitch components and BGAs for high density (HDI) PCB boards.

 

Turnkey PCB Assembly Prototyping

 

Turnkey PCB Assembly is our main assembly business, even in the prototyping stage. With our expertise and resources, we do everything for you from PCB prototyping, components sourcing, and circuit board assembly under one roof. We accept assembly project from full turnkey, partial turnkey (consigned or kitted) parts. Of course, you can choose any assembly service from us, while, we prefer providing turnkey assembly service. Reasons are listed below:

For preventing from the hassle of sourcing electronic components, and leaving your time and energy for focusing on your design instead, our components sourcing team will deal with as many components distributors as is needed to fulfill the parts procurement job in the best possible way. Taking parts quantities required for feeder uploading and parts costs into consideration, we will optimize the electronic component overages and sourcing quantities of the packaging, like Tape, Cut-Tape, Reel, Tube and etc. When it comes to PCB assembly prototypes, the components quantities in the Bill of Materials (BOM) are small, the main considerations we will take include lower BOM Cost and fast PCB assembly turnaround. What’s more, our parts souring team has ability to give alternative parts when the required parts in the BOM is no longer available and no production plan by the original manufacturers.

 

100% Original Components Sourcing as BOM specified

 

Keeping the sourced part numbers with original manufacturers as same as those specified in your BOM is our constant pursuit. Submitting your prototype assembly projects to us, here is no danger of parts quality issues caused by unauthorized alternatives. We never make any part changes of your BOM without your prior written approval. Only in way, the PCB assembly we built can be promised as the same your design. Finding a reliable PCB assembly manufacturer and supplier in prototyping and high-volume production is not easy, but customers who work with us feel happy with the results, and benefit more than what they expect. Building your proto PCB assembly in our facility, our turnkey service will promise you no any failure risk compared to other PCB assembly providers.

 

Proto PCB Assembly Cost

 

Do you know a proto PCB assembly cost? The total turnkey cost of a certain prototype quantity will be the sum of the PCB Cost, PCB Assembly Cost, BOM Cost and SMD Stencil Cost. Want to get a quick quote of PCB prototype manufacturing and Prototype PCB assembly? Prepare the Gerber file and BOM and send to us, the “PCB + Components + Assembly” cost will be offered as accurate and reasonable as possible in as short as12-48 hours. The component prices will be simply be our cost from Digi-key, Mouser, Element 14, Avnet, Arrow, Future, Newark or a specified active and passive components distributor. If you want to consign some parts, like programmed chips or enclosure, please specify in the BOM.

 

Quick PCB Assembly Turnaround

 

At MADPCB, we totally understand quick prototype PCB assembly turnaround and shipping on time are very important for customers, so we have tailored our turnkey assembly service as efficient as possible. After DFM check is done, PCB manufacturing will be started as soon as components sourcing is processed. During this period, we will prepare the PCB engineering questions (EQ) and collect the component issues for you before PCB assembling process. For quality guarantee, the sufficient and smooth communication on your electronic assembly project is really necessary. And this is also the best time to understand MADPCB better.

When all preparations, including bare PCBs, IPQC passed parts, stencil and SMT machine set-up, are completed, the prototype PCB assembly has just started. The turnkey assembly usually take 10-14 days; less if there are no hard-to-find components or documentation errors.
