Printed Circuit Assembly Scheme
The best PCB assembly service manufacturers should possess the capability to offer customized services tailored to the specific requirements of each customer. This is essential because companies of varying sizes, at different stages, and with distinct needs will have unique demands in terms of projects.
Turnkey Scheme
Turnkey refers to a comprehensive service provided by EMS providers that encompasses the entire electronic assembly process, from component procurement to final assembly and testing. In other words, customers provide the PCB design files and specifications, and the EMS company handles the rest.
At FS Technology, we offer a complete range of support and services, from circuit design to product delivery. As a manufacturer with our own manufacturing and assembly workshop, we can meet most customer needs, including prototype to batch, manufacturing to assembly, procurement to testing, and more.
The turnkey PCB assembly service is suitable for customers who wish to outsource the entire assembly process and have a single point of contact for their electronic projects. This enables customers to save time in project management and allocate resources to the final sales process.
Partial Turnkey Scheme
Partial turnkey is a cost-effective solution for PCB circuit board assembly that involves the customer handling some aspects of the assembly process, while the assembly company takes care of the rest. In some cases, customers can provide specific components, such as ICs and main control chips, while the service provider is responsible for purchasing conventional components, such as inductors and capacitors.
Partial turnkey PCB assembly option is suitable for customers who have specialized or unique components they prefer to supply, or who wish to have greater control over the assembly process. It is also cost-effective for customers who want to save on some component procurement costs. However, it is important to note that this option requires the assembly company to have sufficient procurement and management experience, and involves more coordination, otherwise it may impact the overall quality of the project.
Consigned Scheme
The consignment PCB assembly service means that the customer provides the PCB board and all the required electronic components, and the service provider only needs to carry out the final assembly and testing. This option can be the most cost-effective for customers as they can purchase components in larger quantities and benefit from volume pricing.
However, consignment to a client comes with higher risks, reflected in procurement costs and multiple service providers. Firstly, it requires customers to have certain storage management capabilities, risk tolerance for component failures, and extensive component procurement channels. Additionally, most customers do not have PCB manufacturing capabilities, which means that they need to cooperate with PCB manufacturers and PCBA processing plants simultaneously. This can cause information gaps, making communication less convenient than point-to-point communication.
Kitted Scheme
The customer is responsible for procuring all materials, while FS Technology handles the PCB manufacturing and assembly, as well as PCB testing according to customer needs after the production process is completed. Through past service projects, we have found that some of our customers rely on foreign trade service providers in Hong Kong for procurement, although it is an undisputed fact that their services are good. However, this means that our customers have to bear unnecessary costs, because FS Technology can provide all the services that these service providers offer.
Bare Board Assembly
This solution assumes that the customer already has a stable and high-quality PCB manufacturer. The PCB manufacturer is responsible for manufacturing the bare boards and delivering them to FS Technology. We then purchase and assemble electronic components according to the requirements of the customer’s documentation.
Fully Custom PCB Assembly
This type of service can also be referred to as mixed assembly, and it is a fully customizable service option. Customers can combine the different solutions we have mentioned according to their specific needs. This form of service provides maximum flexibility to meet individual customer requirements and achieve successful electronic assembly processes.

Perfect Assembly Process
The first step in the PCB assembly process is to apply solder paste to the intended areas to be soldered. This is done by smearing solder paste on the PCB stencil and then using a squeegee to apply it at the designated location on the board.
Then is the component placement, which is carried out using a pick-and-place robot. These automated devices require precise programming instructions that include predefined X and Y coordinates for each component. The pick-and-place robot then accurately positions the components on the PCB using a vacuum grip.
The success of the assembly project heavily relies on the accuracy of the design documents. To ensure a smooth assembly process, the engineering team at FS Technology will thoroughly review your design documents prior to commencing the project.
FS Technology uses a reflow oven with ten temperature zones to complete SMT soldering to form a strong joint.
After reflow soldering, the electronic components may become misaligned due to movement in the holding tray, resulting in open connections or short circuits. Professional manufacturers must identify these errors to reduce the failure rate, for example, FS Technology will adopt manual inspection, optical inspection and X-ray inspection at this stage.
This involves inserting the pins of the component into the designated PTH holes, which is usually done manually, but FS Technology offers both AI plug-ins and manual plug-ins, depending on the size of the component and the scale of the project.
For through-hole assembly, it is more beneficial to use wave soldering, but it should be noted that it has difficulty in double-sided PCB assembly.
At this point, the assembly process has come to an end, we will conduct functional tests, electrical tests, etc. on the assembled circuit boards to ensure the success of the assembly and perform the expected functions.
After verifying the accuracy of the PCBA board, it needs to be surface cleaned to remove dirt and stains, and after drying is completed, it is packed with an electrostatic bag and sent to the customer.

PCB Assembly FAQ
PCB is an abbreviation for printed circuit board, and when we refer to it, it usually means bare board.
PCBA board is a rigid body of a PCB with various electronic components and is typically green in color, they consist of a fiberglass substrate, electronic components, conductive traces on copper layers, holes in which the components are fitted, and different layers.
Advanced Reading: What is difference between PCB and PCBA?
We believe that PCB bare board is unable to function effectively until they are assembled into PCBA board to fulfill their intended purpose in electronics. You can tailor the circuit design according to your specific requirements. Once the printed circuit board assembly is complete, the conductive traces on the PCB facilitate the transmission of digital, high-speed, or analog signals between different points, enabling the desired functionality.
Advanced Reading: How Do Circuit Boards Work?
Prior to the advent of pick-and-place robots, the task of component placement was typically performed manually by technicians using tools like tweezers to carefully position each component onto the designated location on the PCB. However, this manual process was time-consuming and labor-intensive, often leading to longer lead times, increased eye strain, and fatigue among technicians.
To address these challenges and enhance the efficiency of PCB assembly and manufacturing, pick-and-place robots were introduced. These automated robotic systems revolutionized the industry by streamlining the component placement process. By utilizing programmed instructions and advanced machine vision systems, pick-and-place robots can accurately and swiftly position components onto the PCB with precision.
A crucial element in the SMT assembly process is the use of commercial reflow ovens. These ovens employ a controlled heating and cooling cycle to securely attach components to the PCB. When selecting a service provider, it is advisable to consider the temperature zones of their equipment.
For hobbyist projects or small-scale assembly, a soldering iron can be utilized for soldering tasks. This handheld tool allows precise application of heat to melt solder and establish electrical connections between components and the PCB.
As long as you have needs, we can provide all testing items, of course, including paid and free. For example, functional testing, flying probe testing, etc. need to be borne by the customer, while for AOI, manual inspection, etc. will be included in the quality control link of FS Technology.
