FAQ:
1.How does a printed circuit board assembly (PCB assembly) work?

The primary function of a PCB assembly is to integrate the electronic components of a device into a compact or defined space. Acting as the central hub of the electronic circuit of a device, the PCB provides insulation for all other electrical components, allowing them to be safely connected to a power source.

2. What information is required for a turnkey PCB assembly order?

For turnkey projects, we’ll need the following:
Gerber file
Bill of materials (BOM)
Component placement list (CPL)
All relevant CAD and .stp file
