Gerber Files, BOM, and a PCBA, Oh My! Is Your Assembly Ready to Quote?

What do a baby food brand, an explosive device, and a pre-quote checklist all have in common? While this sounds like the start of a bad joke or a questionable Google search, these are just three ingredients for a successful printed circuit board assembly proposal. You may be asked to provide the Gerber Files, BOM, and specific project details when requesting a quote from RBB for your PCB project.

The Gerber Files and BOM (Bill of Materials) need to be reviewed for a PCBA to be quoted. The Pre-Quote Checklist is a convenient resource created by the team at RBB to simplify the quoting process.

Scrap Factor: What Is It and Why Do We Need It?

Anyone working in the electronic manufacturing industry needs to account for sufficient scrap factor when preparing for production of a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).

So, what is scrap factor and why is everyone so worried about it?

Why should I care?

Supply Chain Challenges: RBB Works to Help You

At RBB, our customers are our first priority. As our country continues to recover from the impact of the pandemic, we wanted to reach out to share the challenges we (and many other businesses) are facing. There have been significant raw material shortages and supply chain issues which are contributing to extended product lead times, as well as price increases. As a result of these challenges, you may see some price increases along with varying lead times and product availability. Delivery commitments are given in good faith, based upon the best information present at the time of quotation, but may change due to conditions beyond our control.
