PCBA Assembly

Parts Procurement

Parts procurement usually is a frustrating and time consuming work, as we usually need to order from several or tens various supplier to complete a BOM parts procurement.

We could support you with relative easier way is because that we have established and maintained long term relationships with reliable distributors and PCB component suppliers. Our long term relationships assure we get reliable quality and relative competitive price. At the same time, we have purchase engineers that with extensive knowledge of PCB layout and parts details will check the PCB design and BOM details to help you find some mismatch and also suggest the best choice of the parts.

Our parts procurement services could offer:

PCB design and BOM check
Low cost for parts sample
Large quantity discounts
Quick turn PCBA Prototype
Competitive parts cost from local supplier
Assured quality from reliable component distributors
Worldwide network with access to international stock

3 tips for choosing components for your PCBA

As a designer, you need to make some key decisions about the type of components used in your board. Stick to these guidelines while choosing parts for your board assembly.

1. Procure components from a reliable supplier

Sourcing all the components from a reputable manufacturer reduces the risk of counterfeit or damaged parts.

2. Opt for IC packages to reduce the part count

Component packages integrate several parts into a single enclosure to perform a desired function. For instance, a basic filter circuit consists of a resistor and a capacitor. If you opt for a package that functions as a filter, you can minimize the number of components used on your board. This results in improved reliability, reduced weight, and cost of your board.

3. Select SMT components as much as possible

SMT components have shorter leads when compared to through-hole parts. This reduces the parasitic capacitance and enhances signal integrity. Other benefits of choosing SMDs are:

Less maintenance
Make boards smaller and lighter
Placing SMT components on both sides of a PCB allows for more design flexibility
Easier to automate assembly compared to THT components
Reduced manufacturing costs

Choose THT components only in special cases where the component required is not available and SMD is particularly sensitive to temperature.

Key takeaways:

1. Always procure components from a reliable supplier to avoid the risk of counterfeit parts
2. Implement component packages to reduce the part count and size of the board
3. Use small lead SMT components to enhance the signal integrity
