We provide full consignment PCB assembly services, where the client supplies all materials and components. We then manufacture and assemble these components according to the specifications provided by the client.
Consigned printed circuit board assembly services are particularly valuable for those who manufacture exclusive or high-end products with unique components that are challenging to replicate. It is also a strategic cost-saving approach when there is a significant inventory of components available.
While consignment assembly has gained popularity recently, our turnkey PCB assembly service remains the preferred choice for many customers. Turnkey assembly includes component sourcing and assembly, which can streamline your project management and reduce your time to market.
Turnkey PCB assembly offers a comprehensive solution where the service provider handles the entire process, including sourcing all materials and components. This approach is ideal for clients seeking time efficiency and simplicity, as it ensures quick project turnaround and eliminates the need for them to manage multiple suppliers. The provider’s responsibility for quality assurance and potential cost benefits, particularly for larger projects, also make turnkey assembly an attractive option for those who prefer a hands-off approach.
In contrast, consignment PCB assembly allows clients to supply some or all of the components, giving them more control over the quality and selection of parts used. This method is well-suited for projects that require specialized or custom components. It can also be more cost-effective for clients who have access to cheaper or surplus components. However, this approach demands more involvement from the client in terms of logistics and supply chain management, making it a preferred choice for those who wish to have a more hands-on role in the assembly process.
You have the option to provide the bare boards and/or some or all of the board-level components for your printed circuit boards. We will then assemble the PCBs in our advanced facility and ship them to you, including any remaining parts.
In addition to complete consignment PCB assembly services, we also offer partial consignment PCB assembly services. This option allows you to supply certain PCB assembly components while we take care of the rest.
Partial consignment PCB assembly is ideal when you are only able to produce or source certain PCB components. It is also a great choice when you require high-quality components. At Fastlink, we acquires components from trusted suppliers, and these parts undergo a thorough quality inspection process before we incorporate them into your PCBs.
