PCB fabrication data
Include Gerber or ODB++ data, NC drill files, board outline, stack-up, dimensions, quantity, copper weight, finish, solder mask, and panel requirements.
PCB & PCBA RFQ
PCB manufacturing and assembly quote
Send the fabrication and assembly package your project team already controls. The commercial review stays tied to your files, quantities, quality requirements, and requested delivery window.
Quote package
Provide the files and constraints needed for review
Assembly data
For PCBA, include a BOM with exact manufacturer part numbers and quantities, centroid or CPL data, assembly drawings, approved substitutions, and sourcing preferences.
Quality and delivery requirements
State target delivery, inspection and test requirements, impedance notes, compliance documents, packaging, shipment destination, and any project-specific acceptance criteria.
Commercial review
What the RFQ response must resolve
- Scope and revision of the fabrication and assembly data
- Material, stack-up, finish, tolerance, test, and documentation assumptions
- Exact component identity and treatment of any proposed substitution
- Quantity breaks, commercial terms, lead-time basis, and delivery plan
- Open engineering questions that require approval before an order
Procurement controls
Keep board and component sourcing decisions explicit
A quotation is only useful when the technical scope is reviewable. Missing files or unresolved substitutions remain open items rather than being converted into assumptions.
RFQ FAQ
Before submitting the quote package
Which files are needed for a bare PCB quote?
Provide fabrication data such as Gerbers or ODB++, NC drill files, board outline, stack-up or material notes, quantity, finish, and test requirements.
What should be included for a PCBA quote?
Add a BOM with exact manufacturer part numbers, CPL or centroid data, assembly drawings, quantities, sourcing preferences, and substitution rules.
Is pricing generated instantly?
No. Pricing and lead time require review of the submitted scope, files, quantities, quality requirements, commercial terms, and delivery destination.
Can a different component be used automatically?
No. Any alternate component must remain explicit and subject to the approval requirements stated in the RFQ or project documentation.
