In today's highly competitive electronics manufacturing industry, merely doing basic production can no longer meet the demands of enterprises. More and more R&D teams and product brands are looking for a true "one-stop PCBA service provider" - one that can be involved from the very beginning of product initiation, assisting in reviewing design files, evaluating manufacturability, to subsequent PCB manufacturing, SMT assembly, finished product assembly and comprehensive testing, providing technical support and delivery guarantees throughout the entire process. Such partners can not only help enterprises reduce trial-and-error cost and the risk of rework, but also significantly shorten the product launch cycle, making project execution more stable and reliable.
PCBasic is precisely such a full-service PCB and PCBA manufacturer that targets global customers. The company is located in Shenzhen and has a highly digitalized factory system, a complete quality management process and a mature engineering team. From small-batch prototypes to mass production, it can respond quickly, strictly control quality, and provide flexible manufacturing and supply chain support.
The following will introduce from multiple key aspects to help you have a more comprehensive understanding of the capabilities that a full-process PCBA service provider should possess, as well as why an increasing number of overseas customers choose PCBasic as their long-term partner.
Early Support: Engineering Review & DFM/DFT Optimization
Whether a project can be smoothly and with high quality implemented can often be seen from the engineering verification in the early stage. Comprehensive PCBA service providers usually complete the following tasks before production:
• Gerber, BOM, and schematic checks
• DFM (Design for Manufacturability) optimization
• DFT (Design for Testability) planning
• PCB stack-up and material recommendations
• Assembly process evaluation for cost and yield improvement
The engineering team of PCBasic will conduct detailed engineering reviews at the beginning of the project to identify potential soldering issues in advance, avoid production risks, and lay a solid foundation for subsequent large-scale stable production.
PCB Fabrication with Strict Quality Control
To better control quality and delivery time, a true one-stop PCBA service provider usually builds its own PCB production line to ensure that the manufacturing process is fully controllable.
PCBasic can handle circuit boards with various materials and multilayer structures, including FR-4, high Tg materials, high-frequency Rogers materials, aluminum substrates, and rigid-flex boards. The company is equipped with advanced processes such as laser drilling, controlled-depth drilling, and HDI fabrication.
In terms of inspection, PCBasic is equipped with AOI, flying probe testing and impedance control systems to achieve strict monitoring of key processes. Meanwhile, the company has passed international certifications such as UL, ISO9001, ISO13485, and IATF16949, and has achieved digital traceability throughout the production process by relying on ERP, MES, and IoT systems.
These capabilities enable PCBasic to provide customers with high-standard bare boards of stable quality and reliable performance before entering PCBA assembly, laying a solid foundation for subsequent processing.

• Complete traceability for every PCB and component reel
From prototypes to high-mix production, PCBasic ensures consistent quality and stable yields.
THT/ Wave Soldering / Selective Soldering
A full-service PCBA provider must be capable of meeting a variety of assembly requirements, including the processing of various through-hole components. PCBasic offers comprehensive through-hole soldering capabilities, including:
• Automated wave soldering
• Selective soldering for dense mixed-technology boards
• Manual soldering by IPC-certified technicians
• Conformal coating (spray or selective)
This ensures mechanical strength and reliability for connectors, transformers, large components, and power modules.
Component Procurement: Turnkey, Consigned, or Hybrid
One of the significant advantages of a full-service PCBA provider is its ability to offer flexible and reliable supply chain support. PCBasic offers customers multiple material preparation modes, including:
• Full-turnkey sourcing via Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow, LCSC, and authorized distributors
• Partial-turnkey service (customer supplies key components)
• Pure consigned assembly
All components entering the factory will undergo IQC incoming material inspection, AQL random inspection and anti-counterfeiting verification to ensure controllable quality, clear source and full traceability.
Functional Testing, Programming & Complete Box Build
A full-service PCBA service does not merely stop at the stage of surface mount technology (SMT) and soldering, but extends to key areas such as product function verification, programming and writing, and complete machine assembly.
The services provided by PCBasic include but are not limited to: ICT (In-Circuit Test), FCT (Functional Circuit Test), Flying Probe testing, firmware programming and IC burning, aging, thermal, and vibration testing, as well as cable assembly, enclosure integration, and full box-build manufacturing.
• ICT, FCT, and flying-probe tests
• Firmware programming and IC burning
• Aging, thermal, and vibration testing
• Cable assembly, enclosure integration, and final box-build services
Through the above-mentioned multi-level and multi-dimensional testing methods, PCBasic helps customers accurately identify potential defects before shipment, reduce rework, improve first-pass yield (FPY), and optimize the overall quality cost.
