Why You Should Opt For PCB Assembly Outsourcing

Due to the growing demand for electronics by consumers, there has been a
corresponding increase in the demand for PCB assembly services. Of course, it was
the standard practice (and still is) for some OEMs to handle PCB assembling, but
outsourcing PCB assembly accrues many benefits.

It’s, therefore, no surprise that companies are now looking to PCB assembly
outsourcing to ensure they do not get overloaded on PCB assembling and
miss-delivery schedules and lose customers as a result. This has induced an uptick in
the number of companies dealing in PCB assembly outsourcing, and its benefits
multiply by the day.

Should You Outsource Your PCB Assembly?

Outsourcing your PCB assembly is usually a good choice for new and old electronics
manufacturers. From trying to match the costs of maintaining a manufacturing line to
traversing the intricacy of PCB production, the advantages are just too many to count.

However, as with many sectors and industries, consistent quality benefits matter
greatly, and this sector is no different. This article refreshes some definitions and
highlights the benefits and processes of PCB assembly outsourcing.

A PCB (printed circuit board) is a completely assembled circuit board with all
the electronic circuitry devices needed to function effectively. These are unlike typical
wiring boards used in standard electronics that do not offer complex functionalities.

What is a Printed Circuit Board Assembly?

This describes a completed board; after all processes, such as soldering and
installation, have taken place on it. The pathways (conductive) etched in the laminated
copper printed circuit boards are applied in a non-conductive substrate to create the
assembly.

The last stage of the manufacturing process of a PCB design layout is


adding electronic components to the boards. Only then can an electronic device be
capable of performing its function.

Who Handles PCB Assembly Services?

A circuit board assembler handles PCB assembling. While their basic role is to solder
electronic components such as (transistors, diodes, resistors, inductors, etc.), they also
have to be able to recognize board patterns, follow sample boards correctly, and select
electrical components.

In addition, they should know how to read wiring diagrams and handle tools needed
for a quality finished product. All of this must be according to the important data in
the product documentation.

How to Know It’s Time to Change Your PCB Assembly

Outsourcing

PCB assembly outsourcing can be a tad difficult without the right PCB manufacturer.
While your current supplier might seem like the best business partner you ever had
(probably they offer some other services), you need to know when it’s time to ditch
that supplier for a new one. You must recognize and spot signs that it’s time to change
your supplier.

Below are some indicators and situations that can help you decide to change your
supplier:

 There is a general rumor about the scarcity of specific components making the
rounds, and you need more news about it from your supplier. Either he is
getting it somewhere else, or he has yet to learn what is happening.

 You need to learn about how exactly your Printed Circuit Boards are
manufactured. Your supplier deigns to inform you about how exactly he
handles mass production. This answers your question of who is in control, you
or your supplier.
 Your deliveries, especially for medical projects, need to be on time, and
production is getting less efficient. This might mean your supplier can no
longer handle the agreed levels of delivery, or he is no longer working
effectively.
 You begin to receive more complaints about product defects and control
devices, and more partners are returning defective items to such a vendor. This
has to do with the quality of your products’ desired volume, which takes you
back to your supplier.

What Are the Benefits of Outsourcing PCB Assembly?

Below are some reasons why you should opt for PCB assembly series outsourcing:

● Lesser Lead Times

There is so much good collaboration between contractors in numerous fields, which is


no different in the PCB assembly industry. These long-lasting ties with their
colleagues in the business can help you in a way. It can help you get your components
faster and even allow for easy logistics once in a while. In other words, they can help
you with lead times.

This is not a bad idea to handle all of these yourself, but you might get more benefits
from using PCB contractors with more beneficial connections, and the network is, of
course, more advantageous. The choice is yours anyway, like with low volume high
mix or high mix low volume design modifications.

● Operating Cost Rationalization

Most SMT assembly for general manufacturing companies comprises far more than
the costs of a manufacturing line and the staff required to run it properly.
Experienced EMS companies that offer a legacy product usually have a better and
well-structured environment for production than your own SMT assembly or any
regular SMT assembly company that can assemble high-volume orders of parts
in-house.

You will get good value for your money, even in tens of thousands or tens to
hundreds, from shipping, storage, or procurement at a reduced cost of the PCB design
you want. All of this is due to the beauty of specialization and the safety of inspection
equipment at a lower cost.

Experienced and professional EMS are well-versed in cutting costs to manufacture


and oversee assembly services for any business without sacrificing the quality of
production batches or product versions.

Factors such as price and material availability disparities and short component life
cycles must be handled equally and as smartly as possible. Mistakes at this stage are
very costly, so highly experienced hands are needed.

Also, outsourcing your production to a proficient PCB contractor and suppliers of


well-run SMT assembly services is a good choice for startups and low-capital
organizations in this field. Not only will you get good inventory management, but you
can also subscribe to product batch manufacturing because these company types
depend on cash stored in material for a long while from time to time is crucial.

Conclusion

You may have an idle team on the ground and new and hungry machines ready to
create all you need. Maybe you don’t have one or understand how contract PCB
fabrication works. Whichever way, you need solid PCB assembly services from a
skilled electronics manufacturer like Rayming PCB & Assembly with proven system
solutions and a short component life cycle you can trust.

If you need added advantages such as design assistance, ensure that the electronics
manufacturer you choose can handle all that you need, and that means ensuring they

can do what you need. Ensure you do your homework on your full-service PCB
vendor.
