Makerfabs PCBA Manufacturing Capabilities:
1. Lead Time:
12 working days normally for PCBA prototyping around and 15 working days for small batch production. The detailed lead time depends on many factors such as the components sourcing difficulty/ testing time, so the final lead time many altered for each project.Makerfabs will keep the customer in touch in the whole process of PCBA production, or customers can check with your project manager anytime.
2. Parts Sourcing/ Components Sourcing:
Makerfabs help sourcing/ purchasing components with your detailed part list. We will prepare the components from official authorized distributors or international distributors such as Mouser/ Digikey. You can also specify the vendors you like so we can help to purchase them directly.Some Notes about the Parts:
- 1. Makerfabs may use substitute brands for the resistors/ capacitors/ connectors and some other commonly used components. These components are tested and popularly used in the Shenzhen market, they may reduce your cost largely. We will remark this in the PCBA quotation parts sheet with Y or N, which means the original brand as your list, or not. If you have special requirements for this, please let us know.
- 2. For the components we can’t source, or if you can get them at a lower price, you can also send us the components. If you send them from other countries than China, please note the Shipping Tips.
