Best price I can gather right now is as follows:
machine setup (per unique part): 25 parts (pls correct me if I'm wrong) = $100
PCB Load : $4 per board = $2500 (just for my boards, will be more including others)
Component placement fee, $0.05 per part x 307 parts = $15.35
Assembly Price per board = approx $20 per board + parts
would love to hear corrections or better offers...
Hi emanymton
I can think of a few items:
The solder paste stencil
Through hole components
Cost/supply of components, the assembler should be able to supply all of these and depending on what their turnover is they could have good buying power. Tubed components we could supply and will for the avalon chip also they load one for one. Reel components on the other hand can add up on short runs, they are a bit like staples in that when separated from the tape are useless and depending on the machine a number are wasted when loading up.
I think we really need the PCB file and BOM for a comparative quote, what one company charges for assembly, another might make up in supply, and other in short lead times.
