What is PCB Components Sourcing?

PCB Component sourcing refers to the purchasing the PCB components to be assembled onto the printed circuit board.

Component sourcing can be done in many ways.

You can have the suppliers purchase components from authorized and reliable distributors of their choice and deliver to you by order.

You can also recommend a distributor where the supplier can source the components from and deliver to you.

Still, you can opt to source for some components and let another supplier source the rest.

Component sourcing can either be done locally or from abroad. International component sourcing usually takes around 5-10 working days depending on the duration of customs clearance.

Local sourcing, on the other hand, takes a shorter time. It is therefore preferred, especially if all the required components are available because it helps save on time and production cost.

Lead-time for PCB Components Sourcing

This is the duration required to manufacture a component. It includes order preparation, queue, setup, run, inspection and put-away time.

For products made on an order, it’s the time taken from the release of an order, to production and shipment.

Escalating lead time is one of the emerging trends in Electronic component sourcing. This creates a big challenge for purchasing communities.

There is usually no stability when it comes to lead times.

Escalating lead times is a complicated situation rising due to market demands, investment constraints and capacity allocations in some regions.

Lead-time usually is between 5- 8 working days from the initial day of order. For mass production lead time can take up to 2 weeks.

However, this may differ from one region to the other. For example, Lead times for resistors in North America had moved from 12 to 16 weeks by the beginning of 2017.

Advantages of Sourcing Components from PCB Manufacturer

• Services offered by consultant manufacturer: Consultants provide critical services like root-cause analysis for PCB, soldering or component placement.

• A good consultant has relevant experience and can source the required components faster. Experienced consultants thus provide concrete solutions to delays in component sourcing.

• ​International standards certification: There are set comprehensive acceptance criteria and workmanship qualities of a printed circuit board. For example, most electronic products use an acceptable PCB with IPC-A-600 standard. Only consultants with a certification of International standards can be trusted to source such PCB components reliably. They have experts that define PCB requirements and are able to assess component quality and ascertain component-board compatibility.

• Technical Expertise: By using specialized equipment such as 3D X-Rays, PCB manufacturers are able to detect problems with components.

• The experts also have the ability to interpret analyzed data and make recommendations that resolve PCB electronic component issue. This means going through them will guarantee you flawless components. They will also provide technical advice on how to deal with poor design and process decisions.

• ​Experience in fabrication: When sourcing for PCB components, it can be useful to involve manufacturers who have experience in PCB manufacturing. This is because they can handle manufacturing difficulties and non-conformances and delay in productivity.
