Quick-turn PCB assembly refers to a process where printed circuit boards are manufactured and assembled in a short time, usually within 24 hours to 7 days max.
Fab houses initially used this quick-turn assembly process for low-volume PCB production and prototyping. However, changing user requirements and recent advancements in PCB manufacturing have made it possible to use quick-turn production on high-volume orders.
Consequently, as an electronics designer or manufacturer, you can now use this process to get your products to market faster and gain a competitive edge. Let’s say you’ve discovered a new feature that has the potential to revolutionize the electronic product you’re selling. Someone else might have a similar idea, or your project might leak to the competition if it takes too long to implement. However, with quick-turn PCB assembly, you can execute and actualize your idea faster, and gain more market share before other players enter your space.
PCB Manufacturing Process
1. Design and Preparation
- PCBAndAssembly Technician analyzes a PCB design before approving it for production
- The process begins with PCB layout design, including defining electrical parameters, stack design, and component placement.
- Once finalized, essential design files (Gerber, Centroid, BOM, Pick-and-Place, NC Drill) are submitted for manufacturing.
- DFM (Design for Manufacturing) & DFA (Design for Assembly) checks ensure manufacturability by reviewing footprint design, component placement, solder mask clearances, and panelization.
- These checks help minimize defects, saving time and cost.
2. Component Sourcing and Procurement
- Components are sourced using the BOM and secured from in-house inventory or reliable suppliers (Avnet, Arrow, Future Electronics).
- Customers can supply their own components or have them shipped directly to the assembly plant.
3. PCB Fabrication
- Fabrication Steps: Printing PCB layout, etching, stack creation, hole drilling/plating, solder masking, silkscreen printing, and surface finishing.
- Rapid Prototyping Methods:
- Using simplified design rules.
- Prioritizing functional validation.
- Using simulated components.
- Running parallel prototype revisions.
- Multilayer boards require multiple etching/lamination cycles and additional inspection/testing for quality control.
4. PCB Assembly (SMT & Through-Hole)
- SMT Process:
- Solder paste applied via stencil.
- Components placed using pick-and-place machines.
- Reflow oven fuses components (210–250°C for lead-free solder).
- Inspection & testing (AOI, X-ray, Flying Probe, Bed of Nails).
- Through-Hole Assembly:
- Automated insertion mount machines insert components.
- Wave soldering ensures solid connections.
- Final testing & functional checks follow, ensuring assembly accuracy before shipment.
5. PCB Testing & Quality Assurance
Testing Methods Include:
- In-Circuit Testing (ICT): Automated testing via spring-loaded pins.
- Flying Probe Testing: Precision mobile probes check connectivity.
- Burn-in Testing: Extreme stress tests for reliability.
- Functional Testing: Simulates real-world operational conditions.
- Other tests include aging, fatigue, and environmental stress testing.
6. Packaging & Shipping
- Prototype boards are securely packaged in antistatic bags with ziplock or vacuum sealing and desiccant packets for moisture control.
- Customers can choose between expedited or standard shipping based on urgency and cost preferences.
