The Complete Process – Cost-Effective Sourcing to Finished Boards
Stage 1: Cost-Effective Component Sourcing
Our procurement team strategically sources components to optimize cost without compromising quality. We leverage volume purchasing, distributor relationships, and alternative identification to secure competitive pricing. For
low volume PCB assembly, we apply the same cost-conscious approach—ensuring competitive pricing even for small orders.
Stage 2: Incoming Inspection & Verification
> LCR Testing – Electrical parameters verified against specifications
>Physical Inspection – Marking authenticity and package integrity confirmed
>Specification Cross-Check – Component values verified against BOM
>Traceability Recording – All documentation logged in MES
Stage 3: PCB Fabrication
In-house bare board creation using advanced etching, layering, and drilling processes.
Stage 4: SMT & THT Assembly
12 fully automated SMT lines with ±25μm accuracy. Automatic wave soldering. Programmable soldering robots.
Stage 5: Quality Inspection (100% Coverage)
-
3D SPI – Paste inspection before reflow
-
3D AOI – Component placement and solder joint quality
-
3D X-Ray – Hidden BGA/QFN joint inspection
-
ICT – Component-level electrical validation
-
Flying Probe – Fixture-less testing for low volume PCB assembly
-
FCT – Functional testing simulating real-world conditions
Stage 6: Final Assembly & Shipping
Board integration, final verification, anti-static packaging, and global shipping.
