Gerber & BOM to finished PCBA
How We Work With Overseas PCBA Buyers
Work directly with our manufacturing team from file review to PCBA assembly and project-defined testing. Confirm the build scope before production, then carry approved decisions into repeat orders.
Before quotation
Share the files behind the build.
Send the latest revision and mark anything that is still undecided. Available files can be reviewed first; missing production data needs confirmation before manufacturing.
Full quotation file checklist
Board & assembly data
Gerber, board specification, pick-and-place file and assembly drawing.
Bill of materials
Manufacturer part numbers, packages and approved alternatives.
Programming & test requirements
Firmware, test method, fixtures and acceptance criteria where required.
Order requirements
Prototype or batch quantity, target schedule, packing needs and destination.
Review → Confirm → Build → Test → Repeat
Six stages. Clear decisions at each step.
The exact process depends on your design, sourcing choices and agreed testing scope. Each stage makes the next manufacturing decision clearer.
- 01
Files arrive
Start with your current project files and the intended build. Missing information is recorded before it becomes a production assumption.
- Project inputs
- Gerber, BOM, CPL / placement data and assembly requirements.
- Review focus
- Identify missing files, version differences and quotation questions.
- 02
Engineering review
Review manufacturing feasibility, BOM risk and consistency between the files supplied for the build.
- Project inputs
- Latest revision, component part numbers, board specification and test instructions.
- Review focus
- Surface manufacturing constraints, sourcing risks and open technical questions.
- 03
Confirmation
Resolve open questions and confirm component alternatives or material changes before they enter the project.
- Project inputs
- Proposed alternatives, quantity, acceptance criteria and manufacturing requirements.
- Review focus
- Agree the build scope, BOM version and project-level changes.
- 04
Production
Handle the confirmed PCB, component sourcing, SMT and required DIP / manual assembly scope.
- Project inputs
- Approved revision, BOM and assembly instructions.
- Review focus
- Build to the manufacturing requirements confirmed for this order.
- 05
Verification
Apply the inspection, programming and functional test steps defined for the project before delivery.
- Project inputs
- Firmware, fixtures, inspection plan and pass/fail criteria where required.
- Review focus
- Review results against the agreed test scope; AOI does not replace functional testing.
- 06
Repeat production
For repeat orders, bring the approved files, component choices and test scope forward into the next build.
- Project inputs
- Approved files, BOM version, test scope and prior production history.
- Review focus
- Confirm changes before repeating or scaling the build.
The physical production path
From bare PCB to packed PCBA.
Once the build scope is confirmed, these are the production steps a project may move through. The exact assembly, testing, finishing and packing requirements are agreed for each order.
01PCB fabrication
Confirm board material, stack-up, finish and fabrication requirements for the approved design.
02Components prepared
Review the approved BOM, source parts and agree any alternatives before they enter the build.
03SMT assembly
Place and solder surface-mount components against the confirmed board and placement data.
04Through-hole & manual work
Add connectors and other parts that need DIP or manual assembly for this project.
05Inspection & testing
Inspect the assembly and carry out programming or functional tests where agreed for the build.
06Finished assembly, if needed
Fit the PCBA into its enclosure or complete other final assembly when the product requires it.
07Packing & shipment handoff
Pack boards to the agreed ESD and transit-protection needs. Confirm the quantity, destination and shipment details; share tracking when available.
- ESD protection
- Quantity check
- Shipment details
Representative process photos, not images of a specific Huitai order or facility. PCB fabrication and optional production steps are confirmed in the project scope.
Project communication
Discuss the updates your team needs.
Agree on the milestones and records your team needs to see while the confirmed build moves toward shipment.
- Component purchasing status
- Production photos
- Inspection notes
- Packing photos & shipment tracking
The updates and documentation included are confirmed for each project.
Questions before production.
What if some files are missing?
Share the available files and explain what is missing. Sample photos can help discussion, but do not replace the production data needed to build the board.
Can I begin with a smaller build?
Prototype and low-volume production are part of our scope. Include your intended quantity so the files, assembly and testing needs can be reviewed before a repeat order.
Does AOI confirm that my product works?
AOI reviews visible assembly conditions. Functional testing checks defined board behavior using the agreed firmware, fixture, inputs, outputs and pass/fail criteria. Confirm which checks your project requires.
Where can I check the company roles?
The company verification page identifies the customer-facing brand, manufacturing entity and commercial entity. View company verification
