What is Turnkey PCB Assembly?

Turnkey PCB assembly refers to outsourcing the entire process of printed circuit board (PCB) design, manufacturing, and assembly to a single company or service provider. This means the PCB assembly service provider handles everything from component sourcing to assembly, testing, and final packaging. It is an extremely convenient option for most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as they do not need to outsource different functions to multiple suppliers.

Full Turnkey PCB Assembly

This includes an end-to-end solution covering all aspects from material procurement and assembly to shipping. The service provider manages the entire process from start to finish based on your specifications and requirements.

  • Complete component sourcing and procurement
  • Full PCB manufacturing and assembly
  • Comprehensive testing and quality control
  • Packaging and delivery to your location
  • Longer turnaround time compared to partial assembly

Partial Turnkey PCB Assembly

In this assembly type, customers provide some or all components required for assembly, and we perform the assembly according to the design. This helps accelerate time-to-market and save costs for OEMs with existing component inventory.

  • Customer-supplied critical components (ICs, connectors, etc.)
  • PCB manufacturing and assembly services
  • Flexible procurement options
  • Faster turnaround time
  • Better control over key components
