Understanding PCB assembly pricing helps you budget effectively and make informed decisions. Costs vary based on multiple factors including complexity, volume, and technology requirements.
| Order Volume | Cost Per Board | Typical Lead Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prototype (1-10 boards) | $50 - $200+ | 5-10 days | Product development, testing |
| Low Volume (10-100 boards) | $30 - $100 | 7-14 days | Small production runs, validation |
| Medium Volume (100-1,000 boards) | $20 - $50 | 2-3 weeks | Product launch, market testing |
| High Volume (1,000-10,000 boards) | $10 - $30 | 3-4 weeks | Commercial production |
| Mass Production (10,000+ boards) | $5 - $20 | 4-6 weeks | Large-scale manufacturing |
Layer count, component density, and design intricacy directly impact assembly time and cost. Simple 2-layer boards cost significantly less than complex 12-layer designs with impedance control.
SMT components are generally cheaper to assemble than through-hole parts. Specialized components like BGAs, QFNs, or high-frequency chips require advanced equipment and expertise, increasing costs.
Turnkey assembly (full sourcing) adds 10-20% to component costs but saves time. Consigned assembly (customer-supplied parts) reduces costs but requires careful inventory management.
SMT assembly costs $0.02-$0.10 per component, while through-hole assembly costs $0.10-$0.50 per component due to manual labor requirements. Mixed technology adds complexity.
Basic visual inspection is included, but advanced testing (AOI, X-ray, ICT, functional testing) adds $5-$50+ per board depending on complexity and industry requirements.
Standard lead times offer best pricing. Express services (24-72 hours) can add 50-200% to assembly costs. Planning ahead reduces expenses significantly.
Medical (ISO 13485), automotive (IATF 16949), and aerospace (AS9100) certifications require additional quality processes and documentation, increasing costs by 10-30%.
Initial setup costs ($100-$500) for programming pick-and-place machines and creating fixtures are amortized across production runs, making higher volumes more cost-effective.
Selecting the ideal PCB assembly partner is crucial for project success. Consider these essential factors when evaluating service providers:
Start by documenting your PCB specifications including board dimensions, layer count, component types, quantities, and delivery timeline. Understanding your needs helps identify providers with the right capabilities and ensures accurate quotes.
Ensure the provider holds relevant certifications such as ISO 9001 (quality management), IPC-A-610 (assembly standards), and industry-specific certifications like ISO 13485 for medical devices or IATF 16949 for automotive applications. RoHS and REACH compliance is essential for environmental standards.
Confirm the provider can handle your specific assembly requirements including SMT placement capabilities (minimum component size), BGA/QFN assembly, through-hole soldering, and any specialized processes. Review their equipment capabilities and maximum board size limitations.
Investigate their quality assurance procedures including inspection methods (AOI, X-ray), testing capabilities (ICT, functional testing), and defect rates. Request information about their quality management system and failure analysis processes.
Determine whether you need turnkey assembly (full component procurement) or consigned assembly (you supply parts). Verify their relationships with authorized distributors (Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow) and their ability to source hard-to-find components.
Evaluate standard turnaround times for prototypes and production runs. Check if they offer expedited services for urgent projects and their flexibility in handling design changes or quantity adjustments during production.
Request detailed quotes from multiple providers. Look beyond the bottom line—consider setup fees, testing costs, component markups, and shipping expenses. Understand their volume pricing tiers and minimum order quantities.
Assess their responsiveness to inquiries and willingness to provide technical guidance. Look for providers offering design for manufacturability (DFM) analysis, engineering support, and clear communication channels throughout the project lifecycle.
Research customer reviews, case studies, and testimonials. Request references from similar projects in your industry. Evaluate their track record for on-time delivery, quality consistency, and customer satisfaction.
Decide between domestic and overseas assembly based on your priorities—local providers offer faster communication and shipping, while offshore options may provide cost advantages. Factor in shipping costs, lead times, and potential customs complexities.
