Turnkey PCB assembly means that the PCB manufacturer is responsible for all aspects of the PCB project, including electronic component procurement, printed circuit board manufacturing, PCB assembly, PCBA testing, final assembly and testing, and shipping, so they provide products that can be used immediately. When using a turnkey PCB assembler, you can get PCBAs with very short turnaround times because all the processes involved are done under one roof.
Cost reduction: Turnkey PCB assembly helps to reduce the overall cost of PCB projects. On the one hand, it helps to reduce component costs. Usually, PCB manufacturers have their own supply chain, and they have stable and good cooperation with many suppliers, so they can always get components at a favorable price. On the other hand, the whole process is done in one place and there is no need to transport boards or electronic components from one place to another, which can effectively reduce transportation costs.
High quality: Working with a professional turnkey PCB assembler ensures product quality, and their expertise allows you to get a high-quality product at an affordable price. For example, they have the expertise to review component quality during the procurement process to ensure they get the best possible component quality.
Shorter delivery times: Turnkey PCB assembly services definitely result in shorter delivery times compared to other PCB assembly services because all the processes are done together by the same supplier. For other assembly services, you have to work with different partners to complete all the steps, such as electronic component suppliers, PCB manufacturers, shipping companies, etc. These processes take a long time, especially when your suppliers are from different cities and countries. And turnkey PCB assembly service can eliminate this trouble, it helps to avoid project delay or project misunderstanding due to improper communication.
Easy quality monitoring: Turnkey PCB assembly also helps to monitor product quality easily. Following the decomposed steps, you will need different experts to monitor each stage. Turnkey assembly suppliers are very professional in all aspects involved and perform strict quality control at each stage to ensure that each stage is perfect. All you need to do is check the quality of the final product, not the quality of each step.
Early problem detection: When you choose turnkey PCB assembly, you can effectively avoid huge losses caused by finding problems too late. If you order PCBs or components separately, problems can only be found during the assembly process, when it is too late. On the other hand, a turnkey PCB assembler will check every step of the process and solve problems in a timely manner. For example, problems found during board prototyping can be solved before mass production to reduce losses.
