With the integration of the PCBA production end and the maturity of the one-stop service model, many electronic product companies are now willing to find a professional supplier who can fully produce their products. However, if it is a new purchaser or the first time to adopt the entire PCBA outsourcing model, it is likely that many customers have not fully understood it. Therefore, misunderstandings would occur. Today, the editor of FASTPCBA will analyze the whole process of PCBA processing for you in detail.
1. Business communication. Business communication is actually the same as the previous half-package mode of SMT patch and PCB proofing separately, and a business negotiation stage must be carried out in the early stage. You are sure I need it, I am sure you can do it. Ok, we can move to the next step.
2. Evaluation of the quotation. Making electronic products undoubtedly requires certain communication on the price of the product. After all, both parties have a cost that needs to be evaluated. The PCBA processing factory will conduct an evaluation and quotation link based on the customer's BOM list and Gerber data. Once confirmed, everyone can proceed to the next step without any problems.
3. The customer places an order. This process is how much customers need to do according to their own product market sales and the company's planned needs. How many goods should be prepared, how many orders will be placed with the pcba manufacturer. On the contrary, SMT placement factory will analyze and evaluate the customer's product delivery according to its own schedule and production capacity to determine whether it can complete the order delivery task within the time specified by the customer. Both parties can accept the delivery date, or it can be confirmed in the form of a contract after coordination. If it’s okay, then the next step.
4. Procurement of components. Because it is a one-stop service for PCBA, a factory is necessary to purchase electronic components. After the contract is signed, the PCBA processing factory will purchase materials according to the customer's BOM list.
5.Incoming inspection. As a qualified PCBA processing factory, it is a routine operation to inspect and seal the purchased materials. Because only qualified products can be used in production. Another special purpose of sample preservation is to facilitate customers to re-inspect the materials purchased by suppliers.
6. PCBA manufacturing stage. The entire stage is the most important part of process and process control in field operations. Solder paste mixing, solder paste printing, SPI solder paste inspection, SMT patch processing, reflow oven temperature curve setting, AOI full inspection, DIP plug-in wave soldering, etc.
7. PCBA test. Testing is a link that must be carried out after PCBA manufacturing is completed, including burning, aging, functional testing and so on. Only through the test link specified by the customer's product, the product with pass seal can enter the packaging process.
Packaging and transportation. After the PCBA manufacturing test is completed, the packaging can be carried out after reaching the customer's standard and approval. There are general packaging and anti-static packaging. This needs to be evaluated according to the customer's product characteristics, and then the logistics can be followed.
Basically, after sorting out the above eight links, we can see what links we need to coordinate with the company and suppliers. After fully understanding, we can select PCBA suppliers. Of course, different companies may operate in different ways.
The above is the industry information provided by FASTPCBA, Shenzhen PCBA processing factory. We hope our customers can work with us to refuel China intelligent manufacturing and make a contribution to the standardization of the industry.
