Printed Circuit Board Assembly PCBA

Assembly Quote and Order

Please combine the following files into a single ZIP file and contact us at support@pcbinternational.com for a quick and non-obligatory quotation:

1. PCB Design File. Please include all Gerbers (at minimum we require copper layer(s), solder paste layers, and silkscreen layers). 2. Pick and Place (Centroid). Information should include component location, rotations, and reference designators. 3. Bill Of Materials (BOM). Information provided must be in machine readable format (Excel or CVS). Your scrubbed BOM should include:

  • Quantity of each part
  • Reference designator - alphanumeric code that specifies the location of a component.
  • Vendor and/or MFG Part Number (Digi-Key, Mouser, Etc.)
  • Part description
  • Package description (QFN32, SOIC, 0805, etc. package is very helpful but not required).
  • Type (SMT, Thru-Hole, Fine-pitch, BGA, etc.).

4. For partial assembly, please notate in BOM, "Do Not Install" or "Do Not Load" for components that will not be placed.

PCB International offers a single-source approach to full turnkey (or partial turnkey) assembly services

With full turnkey assembly, we handle all aspects of the assembly project: sourcing materials and components, manufacturing printed circuit boards, coordinating logistics with assembly house (lead times, shipping, potential overages/substitutions), quality control, and delivery of final product to customer. It's a lot to take on, which is why it's the preferred method for most of our customers.

Partial/kitted turnkey allows customers to take control of one or more processes listed above. Most often for partial turnkey services, the customer ships us the components (or partial consignment if not all components are supplied) and we take care of the rest.

Our quality-controlled turnkey services ensure that bare boards are manufactured to specification, assembled efficiently and meticulously tested. Capabilities range from quick turn prototypes to high volume production with highly automated processes that help us provide more efficient services by eliminating the bottleneck of dealing with multiple suppliers. We source components from only the most reputable suppliers in the industry (Digi-Key, Mouser, Newark, Future), manufacture bare boards, and assemble your product all under one roof. Getting your turnkey project completed has never been easier.

PCB International is proud to be able to support virtually any printed circuit boad requirement that comes our way. Contact us by phone, email or chat to get started - we look forward to helping you on your next PCB project to get your idea to market.

Try our full turn-key PCBA service - provide the design files and we return fully assembled boards to you.

From circuit design layout, printed circuit board fabrication and parts sourcing to fully assembled circuit boards, PCB International has the technical expertise to help you every step of the way.

ASSEMBLY CAPABILITIES

BGA ASSEMBLY CAPABILITIES

  • State-of-the-art automatic placement of Ceramic BGA, Plastic BGA, MBGA
  • Verification of BGA's using real-time HD X-ray inspection system to elimate assembly defects and soldering problems, such as loose soldering, cold soldering, solder balls and paste bridging.
  • Removing & Replacing BGA's & MBGA's, minimum 0.35mm pitch, large BGA's (up to 45mm), BGA Rework and Reballing.

SMT ASSEMBLY CAPABILITIES

  • Ball Grid Array (BGA)
  • Ultra-Fine Ball Grid Array (uBGA)
  • Quad Flat Pack No-Lead (QFN)
  • Quad Flat Package (QFP)
  • Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) 6. SOIC, Package-On-Package (PoP)
  • Small Chip Packages (Pitch of 0.2 mm)

Through-Hole Assembly

  • Automated and Manual Through-Hole Assembly
  • Thru-hole technology assembly is used to create stronger connections compared to surface mount technology due to the leads running all the way through the circuit board. This assembly type is often chosen for testing and prototyping that require manual component modifications and for applications that require high reliability.
  • Through-hole mounting techniques are now usually reserved for bulkier or heavier components such as electrolytic capacitors or electromechanical relays that require great strength in support

MIXED ASSEMBLY ADVANTAGES

  • Mixed Assembly - Through-Hole, SMT and BGA components are housed on the PCB. Single or double-sided mixed technology, SMT (Surface Mount) and through-hole for PCB assembly. Single or double-sided BGA and micro-BGA installation and rework with 100% X-ray inspection
  • Option for components that have no surface mount configuration.
  • No solder paste used. Custom assembly process to suit the specific requirements of our customers.
A note on RoHS: PCB International is committed to helping our customers achieve RoHS standards by implementing lead-free PCB assembly technologies. We offer RoHS options for just about every project. During the assembly process, we also review the Bill of Materials (BOM) for lead containing components and can offer substitutes in cases where RoHS standards are not met. We encourage our customers to choose RoHS options when possible and we'll be there to re-engineer your PCB assemblies and products when you're ready to make the switch.
