We know that PCBA foundry material is a type of PCBA processing, and it is also a very common way in patch processing plants. However, since it is a foundry substitute, you have to consider the cost issue. The following Sanjing will take you to understand the factors that affect PCBA foundry substitutes:

(1) First, the versatility of PCBA processing materials. Material versatility includes two types: one is that the material has a common standard in the industry, and the other is that there is no common standard for the material in the material industry, and it needs to be customized. So for the second case, how to improve the versatility of materials?

In the product planning and design phase, product planning and researchers should pay more attention to their areas of expertise, such as how to better implement product functions.

(2) The second is the complexity of PCBA processing product portfolio. Product portfolio complexity refers to the number of products a company provides on the one hand, and on the other hand it refers to the same product offering different specifications, models, colors, and other options. The more options the SMT factory provides to customers, the more complex the product portfolio and the higher the cost.

(3) The scale of PCBA processing. Large patch processing plants must match the shipments of large products, and the shipments of small electronics factories need to match their own scale. If they match large wholesale products, they will often incur extra overtime due to low production efficiency. Even sometimes machine failures will incur maintenance costs, leading to increased costs. Therefore, in the selection of PCBA foundry material procurement suppliers, it is necessary to consider whether the product shipments match the supplier's scale, and if they do not match, it will lead to a corresponding increase in costs.

The above is about the factors that affect the cost of PCBA foundry materials. I hope it can be helpful to everyone!
