"Sent you the Ge**er and BOM β when do I get my boards?" π€
Great question β and the answer isn't one number. PCBA is custom work, so let's break it down:
π§ PCB fabrication: 2β5 weeks (special laminates can slow things down)
π¦ Component sourcing: 2 weeks for most partsβ¦ but hard-to-find or high-value ones? Could be 20β50 weeks. That's the wildcard.
βοΈ Assembly: Just 2β4 days for 500 to a few thousand boards. The fastest part!
The real bottleneck? PCB and components β not assembly.
Here's what we do to speed things up:
β
Front-load PCB and long-lead component timelines from day one
β
Offer VMI β we pre-stock your critical parts so production starts the moment your order drops
β
Once materials are ready β 7 to 10 days to delivery
The secret? Start PCB fabrication early and pre-build long-lead components. That's the lever that actually moves the needle.
