Ways to save PCBA manufacturing costs
The Internet era has broken the traditional marketing model, and a large number of resources have been gathered together to the greatest extent through the Internet, which has also accelerated the development speed of FPC flexible circuit boards, and then as the development speed accelerates, environmental problems will continue to appear in PCB factories. In front of him. However, with the development of the Internet, environmental protection and environmental informatization have also been developed by leaps and bounds. Environmental information data centers and green electronic procurement are gradually being applied to the actual production and operation fields.
In order to make the cost of PCB as low as possible, there are many factors that must be considered:
1. The size of the board is naturally an important point. The smaller the board, the lower the cost. Part of the PCB size has become the standard, so the cost will naturally decrease as long as you follow the size.

2. Using SMT will save money than THT, because the parts on the PCB will be denser (and smaller).

3. On the other hand, if the parts on the board are very dense, then the wiring must be thinner, and the equipment used must be relatively higher-end. At the same time, the materials used must be more advanced, and more care must be taken in the design of the wires, so as not to cause power consumption and other problems that will affect the circuit. The cost of these problems can be more than the savings of reducing the size of the PCB.

4. The more layers, the higher the cost, but PCBs with fewer layers usually increase the size.

5. Drilling takes time, so the fewer pilot holes, the better.

6. Buried vias are more expensive than vias through all layers. Because the buried hole must be drilled before joining.

7. The size of the hole on the board is determined according to the diameter of the part pin. If there are parts with different types of pins on the board, because the machine cannot use the same drill bit to drill all the holes, it is relatively time-consuming, which also means that the manufacturing cost is relatively increased.

8. Electronic testing using flying probe detection method is usually more expensive than optical method. Generally speaking, optical testing is sufficient to ensure that there are no errors on the PCB. iPCB is happy to be your business partner.
