This is the first step in <a href=\"https:\/\/txjpcba.com\/ko\/pcb-%ec%a0%9c%ec%a1%b0\/\"><strong data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1135\">PCB \uc81c\uc870<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1339\">Component sourcing can take anywhere from 1 day to several weeks. If all parts are in stock, this step is fast. However, shortages or long lead-time components can significantly delay <strong data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1338\">PCB \uc5b4\uc148\ube14\ub9ac<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1478\">SMT assembly itself is relatively fast. For most projects, <strong data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1416\">SMT \uc5b4\uc148\ube14\ub9ac<\/strong> can be completed within 1 to 3 days once materials are ready.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1582\">Testing and inspection (AOI, X-ray, functional testing) may add 1 to 3 days depending on requirements.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"i87u1g\" data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1630\">Factors that affect PCB assembly lead time<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1703\">Several key factors influence how long your <strong data-start=\"1676\" data-end=\"1692\">PCB \uc5b4\uc148\ube14\ub9ac<\/strong> will take.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1838\">Component availability is the biggest factor. Even if <strong data-start=\"1759\" data-end=\"1780\">PCB \uc81c\uc870<\/strong> is fast, missing components can delay the entire process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"1979\">Board complexity also matters. Multilayer boards, HDI designs, or boards requiring special materials take longer to fabricate and assemble.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1981\" data-end=\"2132\">Order quantity affects scheduling. Large-volume orders require more production time, while <a href=\"https:\/\/txjpcba.com\/ko\/%ed%94%84%eb%a1%9c%ed%86%a0%ed%83%80%ec%9e%85-pcb-%ec%96%b4%ec%85%88%eb%b8%94%eb%a6%ac\/\"><strong data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2098\">\ud504\ub85c\ud1a0\ud0c0\uc785 PCB \uc5b4\uc148\ube14\ub9ac<\/strong><\/a> is usually prioritized for speed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2305\">Assembly type is another factor. Double-sided <strong data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2196\">SMT \uc5b4\uc148\ube14\ub9ac<\/strong>, mixed technology (SMT + through-hole), or special processes like conformal coating will increase lead time.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"olix7i\" data-start=\"2307\" data-end=\"2350\">Turnkey vs consigned assembly lead time<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2546\">\ud134\ud0a4 \ubc29\uc2dd <strong data-start=\"2363\" data-end=\"2379\">PCB \uc5b4\uc148\ube14\ub9ac<\/strong>, the manufacturer handles everything, including <strong data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2449\">PCB \uc81c\uc870<\/strong> and component sourcing.
