Advantages Of Prototype, Low-Volume, As well As High-Volume PCB Assembly
What exactly is Prototype PCB Assembly?
Prototype PCB assembly is a low-volume manufacturing process that allows engineering and assembly teams to view functional prototypes of new designs before mass production. The efficiency of PCBA prototypes can be verified, avoiding costly mistakes that could delay time to market.
Yingstar specializes in prototyping and low-volume PCB assembly, featuring fast turnaround and direct online quoting and ordering. Simply email your PCB files, Bill of Materials (BOM) list and unique process requirements to RFQ@yingstarpcba.com. You will receive full pricing within 24 hours.
Advantages of Prototype PCB Assembly
- Assembly of Prototype PCB: Small-volume Prototype PCB Assembly ranging from 1 to 20 pieces are ideal for innovative products. A limited number of PCBs, whether used as a prototype PCBA or a small batch of PCBs, can help engineers identify any defects that may affect products in high-volume PCBA production.
- Design modification: A prototyping PCBA allows you to take one last look at your PCB before proceeding to a full run to make any design modifications. Design flaws are sometimes not apparent during the development phase, requiring small batch prototyping PCBA runs to detect necessary design adjustments.
- Troubleshooting and Testing: Testing and troubleshooting will inform you if certain components need repair or replacement, which is more manageable early in the Prototype PCB Assembly process.
- The Price Advantage of Prototype PCB Assembly: Wen performing low-volume PCB or prototype PCB assembly runs, there are often additional savings that can be applied to future high-volume PCBA manufacturing runs.
- Fast turnaround time: Low-volume or prototype PCB assembly often has a fast turnaround time, which is very important for customers who need to release products as soon as possible or have deadlines. Yingstar can provide a quick turnaround time of 1-7 days.
- Detect defects in prototype PCB assemblies: The sooner we find problems, the sooner we can make adjustments. If a problem is discovered late in a large production run, it can lead to time-consuming and costly repair work.
- Ability to test individual components using prototype PCB assemblies: Sometimes the cause of the problem is not immediately obvious. Individual component testing in prototype PCB assemblies can help detect the root cause.
- Accurate representation of standard PCB performance: A design model will not accurately describe the PCB performance needed to evaluate the overall product. An accurate portrayal is low-volume or prototype PCB assembly.
- Enhanced end product: Prototype PCB assembly or low-volume production almost always improves the final product yield as defects are reviewed and fixed.
What is the definition of low-volume PCB assembly?
Low volume PCB assembly is usually defined as less than 1,000 PCBs. Low volume PCB assembly is the process of mounting components into small-volume circuit boards, it is similar to prototyping in that the entire process of completing PCB assembly is to have a functional device that can be tested for any errors or necessary adjustments before large-scale operation. Low-volume PCB assembly is widely used in medical, aerospace, military, defense, telecommunications, and other fields where initial steps before mass manufacturing are recommended. With its own factory in China, Yingstar can provide short-run circuit board assembly services according to your specifications at the industry’s most competitive prices.
The benefits of Low-volume PCB assembly
Low-volume PCB assembly allows you to verify product efficacy before moving to high-volume production, so low-volume PCB assembly is especially valuable for OEMs who need to develop new products or start-up companies launching new products.
Low PCB assembly cost
Working with a partner who specializes in low-volume PCB assembly can also provide significant cost savings. Low-volume PCB assembly services have supplier connections so even if your needs are small, parts can be found quickly.
PCBA inspection
The benefit of low-volume PCB assembly is that you can use a rigorous testing process. This in turn ensures that any repairs or replacements are within easy reach.
Bare Board Design Changes
Low-volume PCB assembly also means that any design modifications deemed necessary can be easily implemented prior to mass production.
What exactly is high-volume PCB assembly?
Printed circuit boards are an integral part of the vast majority of electronic equipment in use today. This forces electronic component manufacturers to order large quantities of these components. High-volume PCB assembly is a type of volume PCB manufacturing that allows OEMs to save money and time. Any job requiring 1,000 to 100,000 circuit boards will require a high volume PCB assembly order.
Advantages of High-Volume PCB Assembly
- Takes less time
High-volume PCB assembly is an automated manufacturing technique that takes less time than traditional PCB manufacturing. After setup is complete, the machine may run continuously for several hours. Reduce the number of people and preparations required from design to the final stage of PCB fabrication. In addition to that, it can also cut out intermediate manufacturing according to your industrial needs.
- High quality production
SMT processing is highly automated, which helps reduce manufacturing defects. Everything from design to manufacture is managed by a software program. Prototype PCB assemblies are often produced prior to mass manufacturing to assist PCB engineers in correcting any errors. As a result, high-quality mass production is realized.
- Reduce manufacturing cost
High-volume PCB assembly is a low-cost method. High-volume PCB assembly requires a lot of raw materials. PCB assembly services typically work with a wide range of suppliers to achieve competitive pricing. They may sometimes stock standard components in inventory to help keep material prices low. In addition, inspection and testing are performed concurrently with manufacturing, reducing overall production costs.
- Shorter time to market
OEMs benefit greatly from the incredible advantages of faster time-to-market offered by mass production. High-volume PCB manufacturing enables OEMs to remain competitive as electronics manufacturers vie for huge market share. In terms of high-volume PCB assembly, it helps OEMs meet high market demand on time without delaying production.
- Production Consistency
High-volume PCB assembly is a highly automated technique that enables PCB assembly services to keep all PCBs similar and consistent. Another advantage of mass production is that each circuit is built and tested throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring the quality of each PCB.
