Four perspectives to correctly choose SMT companies

1. The attitude of professional cooperation (Concept of Cooperation)

SMT processing is an important link in the entire electronic product manufacturing process. Under the condition of highly sophisticated equipment and improved management, the professional cooperation with the SMT factory determines the timely delivery of PCBA and the quality meets the needs of customers. These additional value is much higher than the unit price of the SMT components. How to check the attitude of cooperation of SMT processing factories? Starting with people, through talking with the management and even the boss of the SMT processing factory, observe whether they have a sincere attitude and belief in timely handling of problems; in addition, you can also learn about the reputation and service awareness of the SMT factory through a third party.

2. Quality Control

In order to win the market, many SMT processing factories try to reduce the unit price, at the risk of sacrificing quality, reducing QC personnel or not equipped with AOI testing machine or other equipments. In the process of evaluating the SMT factory, it is necessary to observe in detail and understand whether IQC, IPQC, OQC and other series of positions are set up, whether the AOI testing equipment is properly equipped, whether the engineering staff passed training of quality management methods. Only a comprehensive understanding can ensure that your products can be perfectly processed.

3. The appearance of management and employees (Work Passion)

The appearance of workers and managers determines whether the product can maintain a high yield, because the products are manufactured by people or operating equipment, whether the communication with the manager is smooth, whether the thinking is quick, whether the work is passionate, there is an important connection with their work result.

4. Give up some useless reviews (Give up some Audits)

1) Look at the size of the factory: unless your order is enough for 100kk, any SMT processing factory can do it.

2) Look at SMT equipment: Unless the PCB board has very small materials (01005 or 0.35 BGA) or complex (POP overlay) processes; regular materials such as 0402 and 0603 can be done by ordinary SMT processing companies.

3) Look at the analytical instruments: High-end analytical equipment helps to ensure the process control of the product. Normal factory will not purchase these analytical supporting equipments, because these analytical testing instruments do not generate direct benefits to the company.

Using the above conditions to select a SMT processing factory, you can have no disadvantages in the selection of PCBA suppliers.
