PCBA Quotes Too Slow? What a Factory RFQ Page Must Do
Key takeaways
- Slow PCBA quotes usually come from re-checking Gerber, points, and process
- Put bare PCB, SMT, and full PCBA on one desk with live estimates—final price follows engineering review
Why are PCBA quotes slow? Customers change thickness, point count, or lead time, and engineering re-checks Gerber, BOM, and process. A factory RFQ page standardizes quotable inputs on one desk for bare PCB, SMT, and full PCBA. Online prices are estimates pending engineering and commercial review. DAJIQUN extends this to factory RFQ desks; capacity follows the signed SOW.
What customers must change themselves
Stackup, size, finish, solder mask, SMT points and hard packages, stencil, BOM sourcing, qty tiers, and lead-time bands. Block forbidden process combinations immediately and list which line item moved.
Files, reload, and price sheets
Gerber/BOM can prefill; humans still confirm. Quotes need a reloadable number. Keep ㎡ and point tables in the admin Excel sheet. Reconcile 5–10 historical orders before launch.
Minimum acceptance
- One desk switches PCB/SMT/PCBA and live totals move with inputs.
- Forbidden combos are blocked with a readable reason.
- Quote numbers reload; estimate boundary is visible.
- Price sheets change without a frontend release.
