Turnkey PCBA vs Consigned SMT Assembly: Which Fits Your Project?
Compare turnkey and consigned assembly models for faster quoting and lower project risk.
Why this matters for SMT / PCBA buyers
YourSMT focuses on prototype PCB assembly, NPI builds, and low-to-medium volume PCBA manufacturing. Clear files, early engineering review, and inspection-backed production help buyers reduce risk before the first build starts.
Recommended RFQ files
- BOM with manufacturer part numbers and approved alternates.
- Pick-and-place / centroid data for placement review.
- Gerber or stencil-related files when available.
- Quantity, target schedule, inspection notes, test needs, and packing requirements.
How YourSMT supports the process
Our workflow connects RFQ review, manufacturability feedback, SMT placement, AOI/SPI/X-ray inspection, and final delivery preparation. This helps global buyers move from evaluation to quotation and from quotation to production with fewer delays.
