Work through turnkey, partial-turnkey and customer-supplied component arrangements.
DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT Explore the comparison
For an assembly order, responsibility for the parts matters as much as the board specification. Compare how each supplier receives your BOM, handles supplied components and agrees on inspection and testing.
Work with our team to review your files, resolve engineering questions and agree on sourcing and testing before production.

| PCB & assembly | PCBPitPCB fabrication, component sourcing, SMT and through-hole assembly from prototypes to production. | PCBGOGOSMT, through-hole and mixed assembly for prototypes and production. |
| Inspection & testing | PCBPitOptions include visual inspection, AOI, X-ray, SPI, electrical testing, ICT and functional testing, matched to the build. | PCBGOGOSPI, AOI, X-ray and customer-procedure functional testing are listed capabilities. |
| Additional manufacturing | PCBPitCNC machining and 3D printing can be included in the manufacturing conversation. | PCBGOGOCNC machining is listed alongside PCB services; request the relevant mechanical quote. |
| 03Cost & delivery | ||
| Price & schedule | PCBPitAn initial response is typically provided within one business day for complete inquiries. Final price and lead time depend on the project. | PCBGOGOPublished assembly timing depends on parts being ready; allow for sourcing and shipment. |
Our fabrication, sourcing and assembly services may suit your project when:
Imagine a prototype using a processor you already own and standard passives purchased by the assembler. The practical comparison is who supplies each part and when the whole kit is ready.
Mark every line as customer-supplied or supplier-sourced. Include exact part numbers and identify components that cannot be substituted.
Agree on packaging, quantities, attrition allowance and receiving labels. Keep a record of shipped lots and surplus material.
Ask whether quoted assembly time begins after all parts arrive. Include purchasing, receiving checks and test preparation in the delivery plan.
Send the same controlled manufacturing package to each supplier. Match the delivered quantity, parts responsibility and testing before comparing totals.
How to prepare your BOM →Include components, setup, assembly, testing, freight and applicable import costs.
Its capability page lists turnkey, partial-turnkey and full-consigned options. For a mixed arrangement, identify which BOM lines you supply and which the assembler purchases.
You provide the components and the supplier performs the agreed assembly work. Confirm receiving rules, extra quantities for attrition and the handling of unused components before shipping the kit.
Not necessarily. PCBGOGO’s published assembly timing is qualified by parts readiness. Ask for a schedule that includes component procurement and receiving, not only time on the assembly line.
PCBGOGO describes testing based on customer procedures. Provide test steps, equipment or fixture details, firmware and pass criteria. Ask each supplier to price the same procedure so the quotes cover equivalent work.
Send Gerber and drill files, a BOM with exact manufacturer part numbers, pick-and-place data and assembly drawings. Include quantities, the board revision, test requirements and delivery destination so the quotation covers the build you actually need.
Use the same revision and quantities for each quotation. Include boards, components, setup, assembly, testing, freight and applicable import costs. Separate one-time tooling from recurring costs, and check whether unused parts or fixtures will be returned.
Yes, you can ask PCBPit to review an existing manufacturing package. Supply the original design outputs rather than a screenshot or an old invoice. Confirm stack-up, finish, panelization and approved component substitutions before ordering the new build.
Only when it is part of the agreed scope. Provide firmware, test inputs, expected results and any required fixture. An electrical continuity check or optical inspection does not establish that an assembled product performs its intended function.
Share your quantities, files and testing expectations with PCBPit.
