PCB ASSEMBLY SERVICES
PCB Universe provides full turnkey (or partial turnkey) assembly services. Our capabilities range from quick turn prototypes to high volume production with highly automated processes that help us provide more efficient services by eliminating the bottleneck of dealing with multiple suppliers. You can now source components, manufacture bare boards, and assemble your product under one roof. Get started with a quotation and order by following the instructions below.
Assembly Quote and Order
Please combine the following files into a single ZIP file and contact us for a quick and non obligatory quotation.
1. PCB Design File. Please include all Gerbers (at minimum we require copper layer(s), solder paste layers, and silkscreen layers).
2. Pick and Place (Centroid). Information should include component location, rotations, and reference designators.
3. Bill Of Materials (BOM). Information provided must be in machine readable format (Excel or CVS). Your BOM should include:
- Quantity of each part
- Reference designator
- Vendor and/or MFG Part Number (Digi-Key, Mouser, etc.)
- Part description
- Package description (QFN32, SOIC, 0805, etc. package is very helpful but not required).
- Type (SMT, Thru-Hole, Fine-pitch, BGA, etc.).
Review your Order & Send us your parts
Once you've reviewed your quotation and decided to order, its now time so send us your parts (we will provide an order number to include in your shipment). Notes:
1. Ship your package(s) using the pre-printed shipping labels your account manager will provide.
2. If there are parts from more than one order in the package be sure to segregate and clearly label them with the appropriate order numbers. If parts or boards are being drop-shipped from another company, make sure they put your PCB Universe order number on the packing slip.
3. Keep parts in moisture proof and/or anti static packaging.
4. Clearly label all parts and confirm that the labels match what you put in the BOM that you emailed to us.
5. Once we received your shipment we will confirm all order details.

PCB Universe guidelines when supplying parts for assembly |
|||
| During the assembly process, some parts may be lost or damaged so it is always a good idea to send us a few more parts than necessary to complete your order. This will help us to send the complete order of finished assemblies and reduce potential delays. We will return any unused parts to you with your order. | |||
