PCBA RFQ Checklist for Faster SMT Quotation
Prepare the right files for SMT and PCBA quotation: BOM, pick-and-place data, Gerber, stencil data, quantity, lead time, inspection notes and packing requirements.
The Files That Speed Up Quotation
A complete RFQ package reduces back-and-forth and lets engineering review start faster. BOM, pick-and-place data, Gerber or stencil information, quantity and target schedule are the most important starting points.
Helpful Optional Information
Assembly drawing, test requirements, packing requirements, coating needs, special components, approved substitutions and functional requirements help improve quotation accuracy.
Why Engineering Review Matters
A fast quote is only valuable when it reflects real manufacturing conditions. YourSMT reviews manufacturability, component handling, inspection expectations and delivery feasibility before confirming the RFQ path.
Start Your RFQ
If some files are not ready, you can still contact YourSMT. Our team can identify what is missing and guide the next step.
RFQ Preparation
- BOM with manufacturer part numbers and acceptable alternates.
- Pick-and-place / centroid data for placement review.
- Gerber, stencil data or assembly drawings when available.
- Quantity, target lead time, inspection requirements, test notes and packing needs.
