SMT PCB Assembly — Get Online Quote

A PCB quote is a detailed price estimate for fabricating and/or assembling a printed circuit board based on specifications such as layer count, materials, dimensions, component sourcing, and turnaround time. It typically requires submitting design files (Gerbers), a bill of materials, and assembly drawings for accurate pricing.

SMT (Surface Mount Technology) PCB assembly is a manufacturing process where electronic components are mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board rather than through drilled holes. It enables higher component density, faster automated placement, and is used across consumer, automotive, medical, and defense electronics.

South Bay Circuits offers same-day SMT PCB assembly for urgent orders, along with standard 3-day and full production turn options. Actual turnaround depends on component availability, board complexity, and order volume, with expedited options available for prototype and NPI builds.

SBC is ISO 9001:2015 certified, ITAR registered, and CMMC Level 1 compliant. Assembly work follows IPC-A-610 workmanship standards and IPC-6012 Class III military-grade requirements, with additional RoHS, REACH, and Conflict Minerals compliance for regulated industries.

Yes. South Bay Circuits supports quick-turn prototype and NPI builds alongside full high-volume production runs, using in-house Fuji SMT lines and offshore partnerships for cost-effective scaling. This allows a seamless transition from initial design validation to mass production under one provider.

To generate an accurate quote, provide Gerber files, a complete bill of materials (BOM), assembly drawings, and any special requirements like conformal coating, testing, or box build needs. Specifying order quantity and required turnaround time also helps ensure precise pricing.
