Consignment PCB assembly involves the customer supplying the materials needed for assembling printed circuit boards. In this model, the client’s team handles procurement, inventory management, and packaging of materials before shipping them to the assembly company. The contract assembly firm then uses these provided materials to complete the assembly process. Unlike a turnkey solution, where the supplier manages both assembly and materials, consignment assembly focuses solely on assembly using the client’s components.
All components, including both active and passive parts, are provided by the customer. This option is ideal for customers who already have their components and wish to start production immediately with a contract manufacturer.
In this model, the customer supplies only some components, while the assembly company sources the remaining parts. This approach is often chosen to maintain confidentiality of specific component information, such as integrated circuits and active chips.
Open communication channels between the customer and supplier are crucial for sharing information about risks, updates, recommendations, and issues. This helps to avoid errors and delays during the assembly process.
As the customer manages procurement and inventory, it is essential to track inventory levels at the assembly site to ensure adequate stock and prevent shortages.
Effective scheduling is necessary to coordinate the timing of orders, material shipments, and assembly activities. This prevents production delays caused by material lead times.
High-quality standards should be maintained in consignment PCB assembly. A reliable supplier will have certifications and conduct on-site audits to ensure adherence to international quality standards.
A stencil printing machine applies solder paste to the PCB. Indirect materials like solder paste can be supplied by the consignment assembly company.

A component placement machine picks components from feeders and places them on the PCB. Customers should specify the type of packaging for consigned materials, such as reel or tray.
A reflow oven melts the solder paste to complete the curing process. The solder paste manufacturer provides the recommended soldering profile for oven programming.
AOI machines inspect assembled boards for visual compliance using built-in cameras, software, worktables, and lighting systems.
X-ray machines detect internal issues in solder paste, such as voids and incomplete coverage, that are not visible through AOI.
