ADD Components today announced the launch of its integrated PCBA Solutions service, combining electronic component procurement and printed circuit board assembly under a single purchase order. The move eliminates the traditional pain point of BOM splitting — where buyers must coordinate component sourcing and assembly across multiple vendors with mismatched lead times and accountability gaps.

How It Works

The process is designed for simplicity: customers submit their BOM (bill of materials) and Gerber files, and ADD Components handles everything from that point forward.

  • Step 1: BOM review — lifecycle risk check, pin-compatible alternative suggestions, cost optimization

  • Step 2: Global procurement — components sourced from authorized and verified channels with full traceability

  • Step 3: Incoming QC — visual inspection, date-code verification, X-ray for BGA/QFN packages

  • Step 4: Assembly — SMT, through-hole, or mixed technology on modern production lines

  • Step 5: Testing — AOI, X-ray, ICT, and functional testing per your test protocol

  • Step 6: Ship — ESD-safe packaging with full batch documentation

Assembly Capabilities

The PCBA partner network supports a wide range of manufacturing requirements:

  • Board layers: 2 to 32

  • BGA pitch: down to 0.4 mm

  • Component size: 0201 and larger

  • Copper weight: 1 oz to 12 oz

  • Turnaround: 5–15 days (prototype to volume)

  • Quality standard: IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3

  • Testing: 3D SPI, AOI, X-ray (BGA), ICT, flying probe, functional test

Why One Purchase Order Matters

In traditional electronics procurement, an OEM placing a PCBA order typically manages at least three separate vendor relationships: a component distributor, a PCB fabricator, and an assembly house. Each adds its own lead time, minimum order quantity, and quality risk. ADD Components collapses this into a single relationship with a single invoice and a single point of accountability — from BOM to assembled, tested boards.
