Frequently Asked
Questions

SMT components are electronic parts designed to be mounted directly onto the surface of PCBs without through-hole leads. They are smaller than traditional components, allowing for higher density and smaller PCB designs.

SMT is used for attaching electronic components to a printed circuit board (PCB), allowing for more components to be mounted on both sides of the board, thus reducing size and improving electrical performance.

Partial turnkey PCB assembly involves the customer supplying some components, with the service provider managing the rest, including assembly and delivery. Full turnkey PCB assembly sees the service provider handling everything from component sourcing to assembly, requiring only the customer's design files for fully assembled PCB delivery.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) refers to companies that design and own the product they produce, while EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) companies are contracted by OEMs to perform manufacturing, assembly, and sometimes design services for the OEM's products.

Procuring contract electronic manufacturing services involves researching potential EMS providers, evaluating their capabilities against your requirements, requesting and comparing quotes, and assessing their quality control, supply chain management, and delivery timelines.

An EMS company facilitates the supply chain by managing component procurement, production, assembly, and logistics. They optimize supply chain operations through inventory management, demand forecasting, and establishing efficient supplier networks to reduce costs and improve production efficiency.

To design packaging for a new product: Identify your brand values and target audience. Research market trends and competitor packaging. Choose sustainable and cost-effective materials. Develop a unique design that stands out and communicates your product's benefits. Prototype, test, and refine based on feedback.

The design of a product in packaging refers to the creative and technical process of developing a package that not only protects the product but also communicates the brand's message, attracts consumers, and enhances the overall user experience.
