Generally speaking, how long does it take to get the latest quotation for Shenzhen PCBA processing? It depends on the PCBA factory’s production process. Perhaps everyone knows that PCBA is a general term for PCB soldering in China, which includes three parts (PCB circuit board, SMT patch, and component welding). So latest PCBA quotation is determined by these three parts. Today, the circuitcardassembly editor will analyze it with you, hoping that my explanation can give you a simple understanding of the one-stop OEM latest quotation cycle time.
1. PCB quote
The latest PCB quotation requires PCB board manufacturing data and PCB board-making instructions. If the data is complete, sort out all the information. A particular process needs to be charged separately, Plus other miscellaneous fees. A full quote will take hours to complete. If there are still many of the latest quotations waiting, that is another matter.
2. SMT assembly section
This module mainly calculates SMT assembly processing fees. General PCBA factories calculate the costs according to the number of points. Some are one point for one piece, and some are one point for one foot. It is the trick. One piece has at least 2 feet. If one piece is counted as one point, the price of one point may be higher than the price of one foot. After all, there are few points, and no one will do a loss-making business. So don’t ignore the evaluation just because one point is expensive. This evaluation can be done within 1 hour.
3. Components module
Components include conventional resistors, capacitors, and special devices. The current market for conventional components is transparent, and it is relatively easy to evaluate prices. But, some special BGAs or ICs are more troublesome, such as the Huawei incident that has been making headlines in the past two years. Many extraordinary components involve international embargoes, strict approval processes, long customs clearance times, and unstable prices. Therefore, the latest quotation cycle is generally 3 to 4 days.
Summary
After the above analysis, we will find that the latest quotation of PCBA takes several working days unless the company has its stock of materials and can evaluate it in a very short time. Other PCBA manufacturers may complete the quotation in a short time. It’s just that PCB and SMT patch quotes are faster. There are also some situations, such as many orders, and the latest quotation is very tight. It must be whoever comes first will be quoted first. After all, we treat customers equally.
