Do I need to mount my own PCB after proofing?

Regardless of whether the PCB is tested or mass-produced, it is necessary to use a sample board to verify whether there are problems with the PCB board product. Simply put, PCB proofing is a trial production before mass production. It is a process in which electronic engineers start a small batch trial production to the factory after designing the circuit and completing the PCB Layout.

After PCB proofing, smt is needed, and the required components are soldered to the PCB light board, and then the product function test can be carried out. So, after PCB proofing, do I still have to mount my own?

There are two situations for this problem:

1. The customer simply asks the PCB board factory to make a prototype, and the PCB board the customer receives is only a bare board, so after the PCB proofing, the customer needs to find the electronic components for welding.

2. When the customer is proofing, it is necessary for the PCB processing manufacturer to provide the smt patch service, so that the electronic components do not need to be patched by themselves after the PCB proofing, and the customer finally receives the PCBA circuit board.

Of course, the need for manufacturers to provide smt services requires some additional costs, including whether the manufacturers need to purchase electronic components, or whether the customers provide the components themselves, and the PCB manufacturers perform soldering.

The above is the explanation about "Whether you need to mount your own PCB after proofing?" I hope it will be helpful to you. iPCB is a high-tech manufacturing enterprise focusing on the development and production of high-precision PCBs. iPCB is happy to be your business partner. Our business goal is to become the most professional prototyping PCB manufacturer in the world. Mainly focus on microwave high frequency PCB, high frequency mixed pressure, ultra-high multi-layer IC testing, from 1+ to 6+ HDI, Anylayer HDI, IC Substrate, IC test board, rigid flexible PCB, ordinary multi-layer FR4 PCB, etc. Products are widely used in industry 4.0, communications, industrial control, digital, power, computers, automobiles, medical, aerospace, instrumentation, Internet of Things and other fields.

Reminder: If you want PCB manufacturers to purchase components, you need to provide a bom distribution list to the board factory.
