Pre-order Checklist

As a PCB and Assembly manufacturer, Fuchuangke Technology needs to collect the required information and documents for quote, PCB manufacturing, components sourcing, PCB assembly and PCBA testing if possible. The pre-order checklist is helpful for getting quick quote and on-time delivery without delay. The pre-order checklist includes PCB files, PCB specifications and detailed BOM.

Requirements on PCB Files

The PCB files formats are different from various design software, but we can manufacture your flexible, rigid-flex and rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs) if you provide us the following files.

Preferred File Formats: Gerber RS-274X, Gerber RS-274-D &drill files, .PCB, +PCBDOC, ODB++ .DRD file.
RS-274X Files Converting: Copper Layers, NC Excellon Drill file, Drill Tool list if possible, Soldermask, Silkscreen.

If you want us to provide Complete PCB Assembly Service including PCB production, parts sourcing and SMT assembly and DIP assembly, the PCB design file and BOM are the two required information for PCB Assembly quote and lead time. For the BOM, you can click to download our Sample BOM for reference and fill in your electronic parts into it accordingly, which will speed up PCB Assembly quote process.

Requirements on PCB Specifications

Excluding the specifications, including PCB size, layer count, minimum trace width and spacing, minimum hole diameter, minimum annular ring, can be easily got in the gerber files from the CAM software, we also need those cannot got as following:

  • PCB Quantity and/or PCBA Quantity
  • PCB Thickness
  • PCB Stack-up (for multilayer board. For example: L1-GTL, L2-G1, L3-GP1, L4-G2, L5-G3, L6-GBL)
  • Finished Copper Thickness for each layer
  • Soldermask Color (we support green, white, black, blue, red, yellow and purple, also in matt type)
  • Silkscreen Color (we support white, black, red, yellow)
  • Surface Finish (If it is ENIG, Au thickness also required)
  • Via Protection
  • Impedance Control

Before sending inquiry and order, please check whether you have prepared well the PCB files and PCB Specifications. If all are ok, just send to us for a quick quote. If meet any problem, feel free to Contact Us.

How to Make a Bill of Materials (BOM)?

Components sourcing service is our advantage of Turnkey PCB Assembly Services. What components need to buy for your PCB assembly project? Just need a Bill of Materials (BOM), which describes the different components that together build a PCBA.

Click to download the Sample BOM, and make yours similar to it.

Sounds simple but it is important to provide the component details. Taking a smart mobile phone mainboard as an example, it is a combination of PCB, capacitors, resistors, Inductors, CPU, GPU, RAM, ROM, wifi/GPS/Bluetooth module, antenna, metal shielding and etc. The BOM contains the item number of each component, designators, quantity per board, manufacturer, manufacturer part number, description, package, assembly type and note if in necessary. The BOM is a crucial role in the PCB board assembly, which explains to the purchaser and assembler what exactly components the customer need in their building their PCBAs.

Tips for making A BOM

When your PCB design is completed, then you can extract the BOM. This process is relatively straightforward, but finding and updating the information is challenging. You need to check and revise all components information before sending it to your PCB assembly supplier because some component information is not detailed, not available, or not the latest revise. Here are some tips for creating a BOM success.

  1. Be as details as possible.There is nothing to be gained by skimming on the details in your BOM. This one document alone needs to communicate exactly what parts your design is made from, so someone reading it can put the pieces together to understand your intent better.
  1. All components should be available. There is nothing worse that slapping a part number down on your BOM that you know was available at one time but is no longer manufactured. To avoid this, be sure to confirm that the part numbers you enter are available. Otherwise, you might find yourself reworking your design to replace an obsolete or unavailable component.
  2. Instantly track your changes. Whether you’re the only person that will see your BOM or you hand it off to your PCB Assembly Manufacturer, we always recommend keeping track of every change you make. Part availability can change at moments notice, and the parts your needed yesterday might be different today. Create BOM files with specific naming conventions that include a date, so you know which file is the most accurate and up to date.

When you make a success BOM, you can send it to your Turkey PCB Assembly Supplier. No find more, but just Fuchuangke Technology.

Payment Option

We support 3 payment Options as following, please choose the best fit for you.

  • Wire Transfer (or T/T)
  • Paypal
  • Western Union

But considering bank fees and handle charge and cost saving for the payment, we recommend payment by Wire Transfer when order total more than 1,000USD, and by Paypal when order total less than USD1,000. Order processing only begins once full payment have been received.

Payment by Paypal can be confirmed instantly, but it might take a while for payment confirmation if by Wire Transfer. If sent us the payment slip, we probably arrange PCB production first, but we will ship the printed circuit boards and/or PCB assemblies after payment receipt confirmed. Besides, for components sourcing and PCB assembly, we have to start purchasing when payment is arrived.

It is worth reminding that our lead time is counted from the 2nd day when all engineering questions may issue are solved, then the PCB and PCBA manufacturing will start manufacturing.

Shipping Method

We can ship your printed circuit boards, PCB assemblies, components and other products to almost all countries and territories in the world by Air, by Sea and By Land.

  • By Air: DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT, EMS and Hong Kong Post for prototypes and low volume.
