Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity for prototype PCB assembly?

Accepted Answer

Prototype and trial-run PCB assembly starts from 1 piece and covers quantities up to around 500 pcs, with a typical lead time of 3–9 days depending on board complexity and component availability.

Question 2

Which files do I need to send for a PCB assembly project?

Accepted Answer

Send Gerber files (or ODB++), a complete BOM with manufacturer part numbers, a pick-and-place (centroid) file and assembly drawings. Test instructions or firmware are needed if you require programming or functional testing.

Question 3

How do you control PCBA quality?

Accepted Answer

Quality is controlled at every stage: IQC for incoming materials, SPI for solder paste, AOI before and after reflow, 3D AOI, first article inspection (FAI) and functional testing (FCT), all recorded in a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) under an ISO 9001 quality system.

Question 4

Can you source components from brands like TI, ADI, ST and Microchip?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The sourcing team has over 10 years of experience procuring parts from brands such as TI, ADI, ST, Microchip, Murata and TE Connectivity (Tyco), and keeps an inventory of common components. Alternative parts are proposed when lead time or cost is a risk.

Question 5

What certifications does PCB ADEPT hold?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturing operates under an ISO 9001 quality management system, and PCBs and assemblies can be produced to UL and RoHS (lead-free) requirements.

Question 6

Do you offer box build and finished product assembly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beyond PCBA, the factory supports plastic enclosure molding, CNC machining, 3D printing, memory and MCU programming, finished product testing, aging, labeling, packaging and international delivery.
