As we all know, as the fundamental part of electronics, printed circuit board(PCB) has influenced our daily life from aspects. Household appliances, computers, digital devices, medical electrical equipment, military science, almost all the electrical equipment cannot work without PCBs.

After a PCB is ready, the electronic components and parts can be assembled on it, then the board is called as PCBA and can be used for electronics. PCB assembly prototype refers to the pilot production before mass production of PCBAs. The primary function is to test the performance and reliability of the board. The upgrading of electronics has led to increasing demands for PCB assembly prototypes.

The current situation of PCB assembly

* It is difficult for European and American customers to do the PCB assembly.

First, high cost and long delivery time always are the worries of PCB assembly prototyping for European and American customers. Because the limited local PCB manufacturers are struggling to keep up with the market demands, and there are very few manufacturers that can provide a one-stop service for PCB assembly. If customers do the PCB assembly in their own countries, there may be cost much more money and time.

Moreover, language and cultural differences also make it hard for customers to do PCB assembly abroad. For example, many foreign trade companies can provide PCB assembly services. But there are not many people who are good at both foreign languages and PCB manufacturing technologies. Therefore, finding a proper PCB manufacturer is not an easy task.

* Turnkey service of PCB assembly has become a mainstream trend in China.

To meet the growing needs and improve the market competition, many PCB assembly manufacturers offer turnkey service to domestic and international customers. For example, APOLLOPCB is a professional PCB manufacturer that can provide the one-stop service from PCB manufacturing, component sourcing, PCB assembly, and PCB test for European and American customers.

Turnkey service reduces customers’ time in contacting with multiple suppliers for separate steps in PCB assembly manufacturing. And the scientific order arrangement system allows customers to get PCB assembly products with higher quality and less cost in a shorter time than the traditional way of PCB assembly. Turnkey service makes it possible to prototype PCBs in 12 hours and prototype PCB assembly in 24 hours to 7 hours, not even a minimum quantity demand. Of course, the service of PCB manufacturing, component sourcing, and PCB assembly can be chosen separately or in combination ways.

Advanced equipment, top-quality materials, experienced engineers, and on-time delivery are the important factors of a good one-stop PCB manufacturer. As an experienced PCB prototype manufacturer with turnkey service in PCB assembly, APOLLOPCB can provide cost-effective solutions for different demands and ensure the quality at the same time. The sales in APOLLOPCB also have been trained in professional knowledge about PCB manufacturing, which effectively solves the communication problems at the technical level between sales and customers.
