Company Profile
Product Details
Linked Electronics is a proficient, electronic contract
manufacturer (ECM) specializing in low-volume, turn-key, circuit
board assembly services. The turn-key service uses Design for
Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Testing (DFT) services. Small
volumes are usually defined as orders less than 1,000 printed
circuit boards.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Service
To avoid several engineering issues that may hamper the fabrication
process, which could possibly cause delivery delays, we use a
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) service that functions as a method
of scrutinizing the quality of the customer’s engineering documents
such as Gerber files, bill of materials, assembly drawings, and
circuit diagrams. Additionally, it will panel the circuit boards,
examine your components list to check its accuracy prior to the
components being ordered, and recommend a solder paste to obtain
high output rates. Linked Electronics is able to give price
discounts to its consumers due to incorporating its DFM service
into its prototype circuit board assembly.
Design for Testing (DFT) Service
To facilitate your circuit board testing process and provide
suggestions on where to place test points throughout your circuit
board, Linked employs a Design for Testing (DFT) service.
References regarding probe types, fixtures, and testing limitations
are provided by this service. The DFT service will validate that
your testing requirements, problem detection processes,
problem-solving instructions, and other references are
well-designed.
Pre-production Test Boards
To avoid the hazards and extra expense of reworking, Linked will
produce a limited number of circuit boards and send them to
customer for examination before manufacturing the mass production
order. All assembled printed circuit boards will be checked, and
verify the ball grid array and the quality of the leadless
component assembly by X-ray inspection device. PCBs will not be
shipped until all inspection work is preformed.
Additional Ways to Reduce Your Costs
Linked always maintain long-lasting relationships with our
customers. We offer further cost saving to our long-term customers
by not levying extra charges for NRE and stencils on subsequent
orders. Furthermore, we also pass on cost per component discounts
to our customers since we use electronic component vendors who
provide Linked volume discounts. Our worldwide distributor
relationships enable us to procure quality components at economical
rates. We make all efforts to ensure our consumers get the best
quality that a turn-key circuit board service provider can give.

Low Volume PCB Assembly: What does this mean?
This is the process involved in the production and assembling of
PCBs by reducing costs while ensuring that high-quality is
maintained. Here, various techniques are employed for these
processes so as to maintain the quality and reduce costs.
Techniques Used in Ensuring Low Volume PCB
As mentioned earlier, the aim is to utilize unique techniques in
PCB assembly. This means that you have to search for some unique
techniques that will help you assemble all the components of the
PCB. Below are some techniques to employ when assembling low volume
PCBs and still maintaining high quality.
Minimizing Layer Count
This is one very important technique to employ when reducing costs
associated with PCB assembly. This requires reducing the number of
layers of PCB boards. By doing this, the cost of components and PCB
will be reduced.
1.Careful During Arrangement
Care must be taken during the arrangement of the number of vias
while assembling PCBs. By doing so, mistakes of any form will be
eliminated or reduced thereby reducing cost.
2.Proper Sizing
You have to be extra careful when sizing and planning important
details like annular rings and holes. What we mean is that
perfection must be maintained. You should avoid mistakes whenever
you are keeping the board size to minimum
3.Prevent Internal Cutouts
Prevent the printed circuit board from experiencing internal
cutouts. This will help get rid of costs involved in the fixing of
the internal cutout. With this, you’ll be able to save money on
material costs for internal routing, as well as on through holes
drilling.
4.Choosing the Most Appropriate Vias
Choosing the most suitable vias, which will not cause any
complications of the PCBs DIP assembly process, is very important .
For this, the vias may be purchased at a higher price, but in the
long run, will save you a lot of money.
5.Stick with Basic Options
Always stick to the PCB assembly basics and don’t venture into
custom designs. Maintain the PCBs’ normal shapes and don’t
experiment on PCBs having unusual shapes.
6.Maintaining Industry Standards
Make sure that the standard requirements are maintained, and don’t
venture into the unknown. For this case, only make use of the
industry-standard components, sizes, and select the right surface
finishes.

Why You Should Use Cost Calculator for Low Volume PCB Assembly
Below are some details to take note of, which will help you in
determining the best cost for PCB assembly at lower prices.
Quantity to Assemble
You have to specify the number of boards you wish to assemble via
low-volume PCB assembly.
Number of Unique Parts
You also need to specify the amount of unique parts you wish to
have on your printed circuit board. This means that the BOM – bill
of material lines, would be specified on the cost calculator.
Quantity of Through Holes
If you decide to use through hole technology, it is necessary that
you indicate the amount of through holes you’ll need.
Number of Fine Pitch Parts
You have to know the exact amount of fine pitch parts you’ll need
on the public circuit board.
Amount of BGA and SMT parts
Also, you should indicate the total amount of SMT – surface mount
technology parts, which you’ll love to have on the public circuit
board. Asides from this, you need to be very sure about the amount
of BGA parts
you’ll love to have on your PCB.
Amount of QFN Parts
Another important point here is specifying the amount of quad
flatpack no-leads parts, which you’ll love to have on your low-cost
PCBs.
Asides from all the specifications mentioned above, also make sure
that you give details on:
• Class III inspection
• ITAR processing
• Double sided through hole and double sided mounting assembly
• Lead-free processing – under the certifications of RoHS Quality.
In cases like this, you have to indicate NO or YES. This depends on
what you prefer. Also, understand that, if you want more features
on your PCB, then expect the cost to be higher.
What Low Volume PCB Assembly Services are Available at Linked
Electronics?
Below are some of the low volume pcb assembly services available:
RoHS 6 and RoHS 5 Compliance Assembly
While assembling low volume public circuit boards, you have to
adhere to the RoHS 6 and RoHS 5 assembly requirements. This means
that you must not include substances that are hazardous in
electrical and electronic equipment.
The major substances that must not be included are cadmium, PDBE,
PBB, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and lead materials. Make sure
that these substances are either reduced to permitted levels or
completely removed. In other words, RoHS 6 and RoHS 5 compliance
covers the elimination of substances that are toxic from low-cost
printed circuit boards.
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly
SMT technology has to do with producing low-cost printed circuit
boards. This technology functions by soldering the PCB components
found on the surface. This is a modern way of mounting components.
This doesn’t involve through holes drilling into the PCB.
This is included among the most efficient and affordable mode of
mounting components. Asides from this, it is basic and simple, and
only sees less or very few errors. This makes them great for low
volume PCB assembly.
Through Hole Technology Assembly
This has to do with hole drilling through the printed circuit
board. After the hole is drilled, the component will be mounted
with legs through these holes. This will increase the bonding
strength.
This method is also the most suitable when mounting straight
components having high mechanical load. This includes switches and
connectors. This technology should also be used to mount
components, which would pass through mechanical and environmental
stresses.
During prototyping, you will take very little time to mount and
replace its components.

materials having lead products. This approach makes use of lead
materials in the assembly of PCBs. You can as well choose lead-free
PCB assembly that involves assembling PCBs with lead-free
materials.
This approach of accepting PCBs at lower costs is an
environmentally friendly one. You should also consider the use of
low-cost lead-free PCB assembly. This is useful because it is less
harmful to people’s health.
Multilayer, Double Sided, and Single Sided Multilayer PCB Assembly
Some PCB types, which can be assembled via low volume PCB assembly,
are double-sided or single-sided pcbs among others.
Asides from this, you could also decide to assemble pcbs having
multilayers. However, you should note that assembling multilayer
PCBs will raise the cost of assembling printed circuit boards.
On this note, always avoid having too many PCB layers, if you have
plans to lower the PCB assembly price.
Prototyping Services
Immediately the design of your low volume PCB is ready, then you
can make the prototype. This prototype will be used to give you a
rough idea of the final look of your low volume PCB.
Asides from this, it will serve as the major blueprint, which will
guide the whole process of manufacturing low-cost PCBs. Asides from
this, the prototype also gives you a great visual impression of the
design and then lets you make some important adjustments.
If you make some changes to your design, never forget to update the
BOM.
