Request a PCB Assembly Quote
Request a project-specific quotation for prototype, low-volume, turnkey or partial-turnkey PCB assembly. Share the released data and commercial assumptions needed to scope PCB fabrication, component sourcing, assembly, testing and delivery.
Send a usable PCB assembly package
Direct answer: A useful PCB assembly quote normally needs one released file set, a BOM with manufacturer part numbers, pick-and-place data, build quantity, sourcing responsibility, test requirements and the delivery destination.
- PCB dataGerber or ODB++ files, fabrication notes, stack-up and controlled-impedance requirements where applicable.
- Bill of materialsManufacturer name, exact MPN, quantity per board and any approved alternate or do-not-substitute rule.
- Placement dataCentroid or pick-and-place file with reference designator, X/Y position, side and rotation.
- Build definitionBoard quantity, panel information, prototype or repeat-build status and the required delivery milestone.
- Verification scopeInspection, programming, functional test, fixture, acceptance criteria and documentation requirements.
- Commercial assumptionsCustomer-supplied parts, target destination, preferred Incoterm and any packaging or labeling needs.
Files do not need to be perfect for the first conversation. Mark draft information clearly. We will identify missing decisions rather than treating an unconfirmed assumption as a released requirement. Use the PCB assembly file checklist before release.
Start your PCB assembly RFQ
Use the form for the initial project summary. We will confirm how to transfer controlled Gerber, BOM and placement files after reviewing the request.
Choose the PCB assembly quote that matches the build
The service path changes which costs, approvals and lead-time dependencies belong in the quotation.
What a manufacturing quotation should make explicit
A low price is not comparable until the included work and unresolved assumptions are visible. Ask for each applicable cost and hold condition to be stated.
PCB fabrication
Material, layer count, board thickness, copper weight, surface finish, impedance, panelization and fabrication testing.
Component supply
Exact MPNs, approved sources, alternates, MOQ, attrition, customer-supplied items and stock-validity assumptions.
Assembly process
SMT and through-hole scope, side count, stencil and setup, selective requirements and any special package handling.
Inspection and test
First-article review, AOI, X-ray where applicable, programming, ICT or functional test, fixtures and acceptance records.
Post-assembly work
Cleaning, depanelization, conformal coating, labeling, cable or enclosure integration and final packaging when requested.
Delivery assumptions
Build milestones, shipment destination, Incoterm, freight method and whether duties or import charges are included or excluded.
For a deeper comparison, review the PCB assembly cost drivers before comparing supplier totals.
From PCB assembly RFQ to a reviewable quote
The process separates released facts from open technical and commercial decisions.
Check the package
Confirm that the PCB data, BOM, placement information and quantities describe the same revision.
Resolve quote blockers
Clarify sourcing ownership, substitutions, test inputs, acceptance criteria and delivery assumptions.
Validate the route
Review manufacturing fit, current material evidence and the dependencies behind the requested schedule.
Issue the quotation
Present the included scope, exclusions, assumptions, approval points and commercial validity for review.
PCB assembly quote questions
What files are needed for a PCB assembly quote?
Send Gerber or ODB++ data, a BOM with exact manufacturer part numbers, centroid or pick-and-place data, assembly drawings if available, quantity, sourcing model, inspection and test requirements, and the delivery destination. A released manifest helps prevent mixed revisions.
Can I request a prototype PCB assembly quote before every file is final?
Yes, if draft information is identified as draft. The initial response can identify missing inputs and quote blockers. A production-ready price and schedule still depend on aligned released files, confirmed quantities and a current material path.
Is there one minimum order quantity for low-volume PCB assembly?
No single quantity applies to every design. Practical minimums depend on panel utilization, setup effort, component packaging and MOQ, test preparation and the selected manufacturing route. State the quantity you actually need rather than inflating it to fit an assumed threshold.
Can you quote turnkey and partial-turnkey PCB assembly?
Yes. For a turnkey PCB assembly quote, identify any approved purchasing restrictions. For partial-turnkey or consigned builds, mark each customer-supplied line and provide package, quantity and traceability information so shortages and handling responsibilities are visible.
What determines PCB assembly quote lead time?
Lead time depends on file readiness, bare-board fabrication, current component availability, assembly complexity, programming and test readiness, approval speed and shipment requirements. A useful schedule starts from resolved dependencies, not only the placement operation.
Does the PCB assembly quotation include shipping and import charges?
The quotation should state the delivery destination, Incoterm and included freight scope. Duties, tariffs, brokerage and taxes should be treated as included only when the written quotation says so.
