Turnkey PCB Assembly Manufacturer
Highleap provides full turnkey PCB assembly services，allowing you to focus on your design and bringing your innovative ideas to reality.
Turnkey PCBA Service
The term “turnkey” comes from the idea that the customer only needs to “turn the key” to start the process, and the assembly service provider takes care of the rest.
Turnkey PCB assembly refers to a comprehensive PCB assembly service where the PCB manufacturer or assembly house handles all aspects of the assembly process.
This includes everything from sourcing components, PCB fabrication, component procurement, assembly, testing, and quality control.
Full Turnkey PCB Assembly Service
This is the most comprehensive option where the PCB assembly service provider handles everything from start to finish, including PCB design, component sourcing, PCB fabrication, assembly, testing, and quality control. The customer only needs to provide their design requirements, and the assembly provider takes care of the rest.
Time and Cost Savings
Most manufacturers have strong relationships with parts suppliers, which helps them source the parts effectively at competitive prices.
Single Point of Contact
The customer deals with one service provider for the entire assembly process, streamlining communication and reducing the risk of miscommunication or delays.
Expertise and Quality Assurance
Professional assembly providers have extensive experience and expertise in PCB assembly, ensuring high-quality workmanship and reliable end products.
Faster Time-to-Market
Full turnkey assembly allows for quicker turnaround times since the entire process is managed efficiently by the service provider.
Partial Turnkey PCB Assembly Service
In this option, the customer provides some of the components or materials required for the assembly, while the assembly provider takes care of the rest of the process. The customer may supply specific components or hard-to-find parts, while the assembly service provider manages the rest of the assembly.
Flexibility and Control
Customers have more control over the selection and sourcing of specific components, ensuring that their preferred parts are used in the assembly.
Cost Optimization
Customers can leverage existing inventory or procure components at more competitive prices, potentially reducing overall assembly costs.
Customization
For customers with unique requirements or specialized components, partial turnkey assembly allows for greater customization and flexibility.
Collaboration
Customers can collaborate closely with the assembly service provider, leveraging their expertise while maintaining control over critical components and materials.
Quick Turn Prototype PCB Assembly
To ensure that the product design meets requirements, in general, we suggest 5 pcb or 10pcs for prototype assembly testing. Of course, one or two piece is also OK, so long as it can be verified.
All Steps of Turnkey PCB Assembly
You must be wondering what the turnkey PCB assembly process exactly is. Let’s see what are the steps involved in the turnkey PCB assembly.
Get A Fast PCB Quotation
We do not have minimum request for PCB Assembly order, so first thing to do is send a PCB file and bom list to ask for a quotation.
As the full turnkey PCB assembly manufacturer in the China , Highleap can fulfill your prototype and/or production needs.Following is files requirement：
- Gerber or ODB++ Files: please include all the layers (copper, solder mask, silkscreen, solder paste, outline, thru-via hole, blind and buried via, micro-via, carbon ink printing, FPC stiffener, EMI film and etc.).
- Bill of Materials (BOM) in Excel format. Your BOM should include:
- Reference designators (required)
- Quantity per board (required)
- Manufacturer part number (required)
- Manufacturer (optional)
- Description (optional)
- Type (SMD, Thru-Hole, Fine-Pitch, BGA, etc.) (optional)
- Package (QFN32, SOIC, SOT23-5, 0402, etc.) (optional)
- It is highly desirable to include columns to indicate whether the parts are consigned by you, MADPCB supplied or not populated.
- Centroid File: also known as pick and place file, or coordinates file. It should include component locations, rotations and reference designators in .csv format.
- Assembly Drawings (Optional) if there are solder paste layer in your Gerber file zip folder.
- Assembly Notes, useful for complex PCB and assembly manufacturing, usually in .pdf format. (Optional)
Component Sourcing and Procurement
In full turnkey assembly, the service provider takes care of sourcing and procuring all the required components, including active and passive components, connectors, and other materials. They may have established relationships with suppliers to ensure timely delivery and quality components.
PCB Fabrication
Once the components are sourced, the PCBs are manufactured according to the design specifications. The service provider may work with a PCB fabrication facility to produce the boards. We can produce various PCB such as rigid pcb，flex PCB，rigid-flex PCB, HDI PCB, RF PCB, and so on.
Component Assembly
Once the circuit board is fabricated and the electronic components are sorted, the process of soldering starts. The right soldering technique together with high-quality solder paste and SMT stencils is crucial for high quality and fully functional PCB.
PCB Assembly Testing and Inspection
Highleap is an ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and IPC, UL certified PCB supplier, we put the product quality as the top priority. Hence, we implement a series of inspections to help us control quality
- All bare PCB boards are assembled to comply with IPC-A-610 standards.
- All assembling technicians and inspectors are with skilled experience.
- All PCB manufacturing handles by ourselves to comply with IPC Class II or III standards upon requirements.
- 100% electrical test on all bare Printed Circuit Boards by flying probe or fixture.
- 100% visual inspection after electronic PCB assembly completion.
- 100% functional test as per documented test procedures (optional).
- 100% all PCBAs cleaning.
- Strict electronic static discharge (ESD) control.
Benefits of Turnkey PCB Assembly
Most importantly, turnkey PCB assembly gives designers the freedom to focus on the dynamism that comes with electronic innovations. However, the following reasons highlight why designers chose turnkey PCB assembly services
Issue Identification
Turnkey PCB assembly companies possess expertise in spotting potential failure issues in the design early on. Before starting the assembly process, the assembler ensures that all specifications are met and promptly addresses any design variations to avoid costly mistakes.
Value-Added Services
Turnkey PCB assembly providers often offer additional value-added services, such as box building, inventory management, shipping, and product packaging, making the entire process more convenient for the designer.
Low or High Volume Assembly
Turnkey solutions provide the flexibility to handle both small and large volume orders, allowing designers to cater to diverse customer demands efficiently.
