Components Sourcing in PCBA Manufacturing

Description

What is Component Sourcing?

Components Souring (Electronics parts) Service Hitech Circuits is a PCB manufacturing, PCB assembly and design company. When choose our turnkey printed circuit board assembly service, all electronics components, including active and passive parts will be provided by us. That’s means we are responsible for full BOM components sourcing. We understand the importance of reducing components cost and shortening PCB and PCBA manufacturing turnarounds by strategic components sourcing management. With long term working relationships with many component manufacturers and distributors both in domestics and overseas, we are able to purchase those hard to find parts at good prices and lead times, and offer them a very wide range of quality components. All component suppliers are audited by passing our quality standards and sourcing lead time requirement, and only trusted sources are permitted to procurement and application in your PCB assembly projects no matter in prototypes, low-volume and high-volume runs.

Continuous Strips & Tapes for Consignment or Partial Turnkey Assembly Proper SMT machine setup and operation requires parts overages (or extra parts) because there is a small length between the feeder and the picking nozzle of the placement machine can’t be used. When it comes to pick and place process, the machine may throw away some parts, and the electronics parts uploading to the feeders may be missed by manual. Unused and excessive parts supplier by you or purchased by us will be packaged and returned to you together with the PCB assembly. SMT parts which are not supplied on reels should be on one continuous strip of tape. If you need to assemble different PCB boards with the same SMT parts, please do not cut them into more strips, just keep them in the continuous strip of the tape or on the reels. Standard of parts sourcing quantity or quantity provided for PCB assembly prototypes as the chart in Component Overages and Quantities. For high-volume PCB assemblyruns, extra parts by percentage are ok for Hitechpcb. All extra parts are necessary for ensuring smooth assembling and shipping your assembled boards on time without shortage.

Analysis of the advantages of three different electronic component Sourcing Channels

Electronic components are small size and used in electronic products, the role of electronic component is an indispensable existence for electronic products. Component sourcing has always been troublesome to some professional purchasers, this is because component sourcing process is very complicated and needs to purchase from different channels, as a result, it is difficult to make effective deletion in the components sourcing process, which increases the complexity of procurement. Component sourcing needs to be sorted out from the beginning to find the best sourcing channel for components in order to better solve the component sourcing issues. What are the channels for component sourcing? Which component sourcing should we have try, let us see below details.

1. One -stop component sourcing platform

When purchasing components, we can directly find an e-component mall through the internet and checking it to see if there is the type of electronic component you need, if it has stock, you can directly add this component to the shopping cart; if you do not find the electronic component model you need, you can through online consultation customer service inquiry way, choose the components you need. One-stop electronic component sourcing platform has become another channel recognized by users in recent years.

2. Direct purchase from factory

The electronic component volume is often small, but it is an indispensable and important part of modern instruments and machinery equipment, it plays an important role in many areas. When people need to purchase electronic components, they often consider costs, quality and services, and direct purchasing from factory has become a more favored procurement channel for many people, because component sourcing through this channel is inevitable and component price will be relatively lower, meanwhile, it is more guaranteed in the quality of the product and the related services.

3. Component sourcing from agent and dealer

The development model of electronic components is derived from a model authorized by the manufacturer to agents and agents to dealers, therefore, many electronic components can be sourced through regular electronic component agents or dealers. However, when choosing a dealer or agent, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the overall strength of the agent or dealer, every detail is very important. Because if the agent or dealers don’t have enough strength, there will be many unknown troubles in the procurement.

Through the introduction of the above three aspects, we have already known the main component sourcing, at the same t
