GreensTone Electronics employs a dedicated, parts sourcing and procurement team to manage the logistics and procurement of PCB assembly components using a quality-controlled and time tested sourcing system that guarantees faultless electronic parts sourcing so our PCB assembly services can be offered to our clients at the lowest cost in the global electronic contract manufacturing industry.
Quality Parts
GreensTone sources electronic components with the highest quality from reliable sources and suppliers who can guarantee the best parts for our customers. At the customer’s request, GreensTone always sources components from suppliers recommended by the client. We do not replace components or use a supplier that is not approved by the customer.
Hard To Find Parts Sourcing
GreensTone has the capability of sourcing hard-to-find, obsolete or unusually long leadtime components as a result of building over the years an extensive network of global sources for ICs produced in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and other regions across Asia. When a re-placement or cross-reference part is necessary, we solicit your approval first. we have long term relationship with the agents of TI, Microchip, Epson, PANASONIC, KEMET, VISHAY, STMicroelectronics, Infineon, Murata, MXIC, infineon, ON, TOSHIBA, NXP, RUBYCON, BrightKing, TDK, Meanwell and so on.
Most parts orders can be filled in approximately 7 to 10 working days from the initial order date. We utilize barcode and RFID labeling to expedite our procurement and inventory control processes. Using this type of automation technology permits us to know in real time a true inventory count in our local warehouses. In addition, we conduct quality testing prior to any components being stocked in our warehouse bins. In some cases, integrated circuit modules will be given electrical characteristic testing. We have built a solid procurement and warehousing system that is so efficient we are able to pass onto our customers at low handling cost.
1. Defining Your Requirements:
Clarity is Key: Precisely define the functionalities, dimensions, materials, and layer count your PCB design demands.
Quantity Matters: Determine the number of PCBs needed, considering initial prototypes versus full production runs.
Budgeting for Success: Establish a realistic budget encompassing both PCB fabrication and assembly costs (if applicable).
Timely Delivery: Set a target timeframe for receiving the PCBs to ensure alignment with your project schedule.
2. Partner Selection: A Well-Informed Choice
Leveraging Directories: Utilize online directories to discover potential PCB manufacturers in your region or globally.
Capability Check: Research each manufacturer's capabilities to ensure they can handle the complexities of your specific PCB requirements (materials, layer count, etc.).
Quality Matters: Look for manufacturers with certifications that demonstrate their commitment to quality standards, such as those set by the IPC (Association Connecting Electronics Industries).
Customer Insights: Read online reviews or seek recommendations to gain valuable insights from other customers' experiences.
3. The Power of Negotiation: Requesting a Quote (RFQ)
Clear Communication: Contact shortlisted manufacturers and provide them with your detailed PCB specifications, quantity needs, and desired timeline.
Formal Quote Request: Request a formal quote outlining the total cost, including fabrication, assembly (if needed), and shipping fees.
Comparative Analysis: Carefully compare the quotes received from various manufacturers, considering factors like pricing, delivery timelines, and any additional services offered.
