PCB Assembly
Bring your PCB files, BOM and assembly requirements to one project team. GlobalWellPCB supports board fabrication, component sourcing, SMT and through-hole assembly, with inspection, programming and testing scoped to your product.
PCB assembly services for your next product build
Get assembled circuit boards for engineering evaluation, pilot builds and repeat orders. We connect the bare-board requirements, component list and assembly instructions so you can discuss the complete build rather than coordinate disconnected work packages.
Start with your quantity, current design revision and target delivery date. Choose supplier-sourced, customer-supplied or mixed materials, then agree the inspection and test work your finished boards need.
Coordinate boards, components and assembly against the same revision.
Discuss prototypes, a first release and the next batch without assuming they need the same setup.
Know which parts are sourced for you and which items you need to supply.
Define firmware, checks, labelling, packaging and the records you want returned.
Choose the work your order needs
Prototype and small-batch assembly
Build boards for first power-on, software development, mechanical trials or a pilot release. Explain what the samples must demonstrate so the assembly and test scope matches the next product decision.
Turnkey and partial turnkey
Combine PCB supply, BOM sourcing and assembly in one enquiry, or keep selected parts under your control. Assign an owner to each BOM line and approve any proposed alternatives before purchasing.
SMT, through-hole and product integration
Review single- or double-sided SMT, BGA packages and through-hole parts together. Add programming, coating, cables or enclosure integration when your order needs more than a populated PCB.
How the project moves forward
- 01
Send your files and scope
Provide Gerber, BOM and placement data with quantity, timing and the work you want included.
- 02
Review boards, parts and assembly
Resolve file mismatches, component supply and the process route before releasing purchasing or setup.
- 03
Approve the build and acceptance
Confirm the material list, quoted work, any first-article hold point and inspection or test requirements.
- 04
Assemble, check and deliver
Build to the approved revision and release the order with the agreed marking, packaging and records.
What to send for a useful quotation
| File or requirement | Details to include |
|---|---|
| PCB fabrication files | Gerber and drill data, board construction and any panel requirements. |
| Component BOM | Exact manufacturer and MPN, quantity, fitted references and approved alternatives. |
| Placement file | CPL / pick-and-place data identifying X/Y, side, rotation and reference designator. |
| Assembly drawing | Polarity, DNP positions, mechanical details and special component instructions. |
| Programming and test brief | Firmware, programming interface, test limits, fixture ownership and required results. |
| Delivery specification | Board or kit quantities, variants, labels, packaging and shipment destination. |
Include the quantity, current revision and required delivery date. If a decision is still open, identify it in your message so the review can address it.
Know what will be checked and returned
| Review area | What it covers | What to specify |
|---|---|---|
| Visible placement and solder joints | AOI and visual inspection evaluate accessible assembly features. | State critical components and the acceptance criteria. |
| Hidden connections | X-ray provides a view of joints beneath packages such as BGAs. | Name the devices and inspection coverage needed. |
| Electrical operation | Programming, ICT or functional checks require the appropriate interfaces and test instructions. | Agree fixture work, limits and pass/fail records in the quotation. |
State any unit or batch identification, packaging and inspection or test records you need with delivery. The quotation confirms the operations and evidence included.
What shapes your quotation
A useful quotation describes the complete deliverable and its supply responsibilities. Include these items in the review so you can compare like-for-like scope.
- Bare PCB supply and BOM procurement, including who owns unused materials.
- Stencil, setup, fixtures and the single- or double-sided assembly route.
- Programming, tests, coating, integration, packaging and shipment where requested.
The delivery plan follows file readiness, approved materials and the requested operations. Share your target date and any items already available to help review the schedule.
Frequently asked questions
What can be included in a PCB assembly order?
Your scope can combine PCB fabrication, component sourcing, SMT or through-hole assembly, inspection and additional programming or testing. List any coating, cabling or box build work in the enquiry so it is included in the review.
Can I provide the boards or some components?
Yes. Mark the supply owner for every item and include the quantity, packaging and expected arrival of your kit. Partial-turnkey sourcing lets you retain selected inventory while the remaining BOM is reviewed for procurement.
What files do I need for a quotation?
Send Gerber, a BOM with manufacturer part numbers, placement data and the assembly drawing. Add quantities, revisions, DNP positions and test requirements. Identify preliminary files so assumptions can be stated clearly.
How is delivery time determined?
The schedule depends on board readiness, component availability, approvals, assembly and the agreed tests. Send your required date and any material commitments so the complete route can be reviewed.
