What Affect PCB Assembly Cost?

PCB Assembly Cost, every electronic engineer or designer want to know, How Do you get the best PCB Assembly quote, and how do you what price will affect PCB assembly cost. Here is some tips to guide you how to control PCB assembly price.

First, clear understanding of attributes to the cost of PCB assembly (PCBA). Some of the biggest cost drivers include:

1) Components Place 

• Request Only Top Layer assembly

• Request Double sided assembly

2) Assembly Type

• Surface mount Technology (SMT)   

• Through hole (DIP)

• Mixed (both)

3) Total numbers of components (SMT + DIP)

4) Package Size of components

1206, 0805, 0603, 0402, 0201 etc.
 

5) Quantity

Keep Flexible to your manufacture's needs.
SysPCB do not have the minimum order quantity requirement. The larger the quantity, the lower the unit price.

6) Total Cost of the Complete Bill of Materials (BOM)

7) Bare Board (PCB) requirement

8) Special Assembly Requirements

Such as lead length, height min/max, spacing

9) Test Requirements

(SysPCB prefer to test all PCBA Board before ship, We would like you can show us how to test)

10) Other requirements

Shipping requirements, delivery etc.

These tips will affect the PCB assembly price, so you can choose the best one to save the cost.
