KXPCBA is a proficient, electronic contract manufacturer (ECM) with a focus on low-volume, turn-key, circuit board assembly services. The turn-key service uses Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Testing (DFT) services. Small volumes are usually defined as orders less than 5,000 circuit boards.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Service

To avoid several engineering issues that may hamper the fabrication process, which could possibly cause delivery delays, we use a Design for Manufacturing (DFM) service that functions as a method of scrutinizing the quality of the customer's engineering documents such as Gerber files, bill of materials, assembly drawings, and circuit diagrams. Additionally, it will panel the circuit boards, examine your components list to check its accuracy prior to the components being ordered, and recommend a solder mask to obtain high output rates. KXPCBA is able to give price discounts to its consumers due to incorporating its DFM service into its prototype circuit board assembly.

Design for Testing (DFT) Service

To facilitate your circuit board testing process and provide suggestions on where to place test points throughout your circuit board, KXPCBA employs a Design for Testing (DFT) service. References regarding probe types, fixtures, and testing limitations are provided by this service. The DFT service will validate that your testing requirements, problem detection processes, problem-solving instructions, and other references are well-designed.

Pre-production Test Boards

To avoid the hazards and extra expense of reworking, KXPCBA will initially produce a limited number of circuit boards and dispatch them to you for examination before manufacturing the whole order. On confirmation of an order for complete production, we will check all manufactured circuit boards, and verify the ball grid array and the quality of the leadless component assembly by means of an X-ray inspection device. pcb board assembly will not be shipped until all areas of concern have been addressed.
