2. Purchase Electronic Components

1). Why outsource electronic component procurement?

With the industrial division of labor becoming more and more refined, more and more electronic product research and development companies streamline their organizational structure, allocate limited resources to research and development and sales, which are the two core competitiveness, so as to outsource the tedious production and manufacturing links. In this trend, it is bound to increase the demand for PCBA's labor and materials contracting.

Customers only need to provide design documents for electronic manufacturers to purchase electronic components and complete PCBA production and manufacturing process in accordance with design requirements. This mode of labor and materials contracting can save customers' own personnel costs of material procurement, inspection and storage, as well as the cost of sluggish materials. On the whole, it will save the total cost of customer enterprises and improve the turnover efficiency of finance and products.

 

2). How do we ensure that electronic components are purchased through genuine channels?

We have a perfect supply chain management system, strict audit and certification of all suppliers, samples, small batch specifications recognition, to ensure the qualification of suppliers. In addition, we are equipped with a powerful IQC incoming material inspection mechanism, AQL sampling standard inspection for all core components, and equipped with professional inspection laboratories and equipment.

 

3). Our advantages in purchasing electronic components

The purchase of electronic components is determined by two factors: price and supply continuity. We can give full play to the price advantage of centralized procurement and cooperate with original factories and agents. The Established nearly 10 years of cooperative relationship, can obtain the priority guarantee of continuous supply and original factory technical support, which is incomparable to the procurement of a single company. Customer companies purchase from various online traders, which can not ensure the consistency of quality and can not have a better price.

Competitive prices for SMT processing

Quotation is generally approved based on the BOM list and GERBER files of the customer. If there are special process requirements such as manual welding, the price shall be calculated separately, among which the one-time cost of wave welding fixture and related vehicle is not included.

 

Normal delivery time for SMT processing

Under normal condition, SMT processing will be shipped within 1 week (Samples or small batch trial production, we can deliver in 3-5 working days at the soonest, And according to the order quantity, we can deliver in batches according to customer's requirement), not including national public holidays.

 

How to cooperate with us in SMT processing?

You only need to send the BOM list, GERBER files and component coordinate files of relevant projects to us for quotation.

After the price is confirmed, we can start to manufacture PCB and purchase components according to BOM list, and then proceed SMT processing. It is also ok if you provide us with some electronic components suitable for this project (such as some IC or passive components that are extremely difficult to buy in China), After receiving them, we will conduct verification and warehousing management, and then start relevant SMT processing.

Greathome always insists on carefully controlling every SMT process and casting trust with professional.

 

4. DIP (Dual In-line Package) processing

Our DIP processing capability:

5. PCBA Testing

PCBA test refers to the electrical conductivity of PCBA circuit board mounted with electronic components and the detection based on input and output values.

In the design of PCB board, there are numerical relationships between different test points such as voltage and current. It is necessary to use professional test equipment or manual operation of multimeter to test the test points, so as to verify whether the actual PCBA board meets the design requirements.

PCBA test is a key step to ensure the quality of production and delivery. FCT test fixture is made according to the test points, procedures and steps designed by customers, and then the PCBA board is placed on the FCT test rack to complete the test.

 

PCBA test principle

Connect the test point on the PCBA board through the FCT test rack to form a complete channel, and then connect the computer and programmer to upload the MCU program. When the MCU program will capture the user's input actions (such as long pressing the switch for 3 seconds), after calculation, it will control the on and off of the circuit beside it (such as LED flashing) or drive the motor to rotate, etc.

By observing the voltage and current values between the test points on the FCT test rack, and verifying whether these input and output actions are consistent with the design, the test of the whole PCBA board is completed.

 

PCBA Testing Fixture

The processing of mass Production's PCBA board must be tested, and test fixtures are typically made to facilitate efficient PCBA testing. PCBA fixtures work by connecting test thimbles to the test points of the PCB, so that when energized, key data such as voltage and current in the circuit can be displayed on the display screen of the test Fixture, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid detection.

When the customer designs PCB board, the engineer will consider its test plan, reserve PCB test point, and issue professional test document or test plan to the manufacturer.

Our company can make PCBA testing Fixture by ourself according to the customer's test plan. (equipped with engraving machine and test rack assembly engineer).

 

For example, the following is a PCBA test plan for a European customer.

 

PCBA Test Cases

PCBA test types are as follows:

ICT Test (In-circuit Test): Mainly tests the voltage/current data of the Test point after the PCB is energized, and does not involve the Test of function keys or input and output.

 

FCT Test (Functional Test): it is necessary to burn the written MCU program into the PROGRAM IC through programmer (such as ST-link, JTAG) first, so as to realize the corresponding Functional Test.

For example, after pressing the button, the LED lights up; Press two buttons at the same time to restore factory Settings and so on. Of course, whether all function tests can be carried out must be on the premise of PCB welding OK and line conduction, otherwise it cannot be achieved.

 

Burn-in Test: For the PCBA board that has been burned and FCT passed, a long time, periodic analog user input and output is carried out to test its durability and welding reliability. In special cases, the PCBA board also needs to be exposed to specific temperature and humidity environment.

 

PCBA testing is an essential and important link in the whole PCBA manufacturing supply chain, which controls the quality of PCBA products from the final data results. In the standardized design and manufacturing management, PCBA testing must be recommended to consider and implement.

 

6. Burn-in Test

We can provide customer products with Burn-in tests to testing the stability and reliability of products in specific environments. According to customer design requirements, the product will be placed under specific temperature and humidity conditions, continuous simulation work 72 hours to 7 days (occasionally continuous on and off impact test), record performance data, backward production process for improvement. Burn-in test usually refers to electrical performance test, similar tests are drop test, vibration test, salt spray test, etc. For some tests that cannot be done inside the factory, China Electronics Laboratory (cooperative organization) can be entrusted to carry out third-party tests.
