The term "Turnkey" generally refers to any product or service that is sold to the buyer in a form that is ready for immediate use. When applied to PCB assembly, turnkey means that the supplier handles all aspects of PCB solutions, including components procuring and PCB manufacturing, picking and placing components in specific locations on your custom PCBs. In essence, full turnkey PCB assembly gives the buyer greater freedom to focus on PCB design, while the supplier takes care of the rest, which is why it is a leading form of one-stop electronic assembly
Shorter Lead Time
As a fundamental form of electronic assembly, PCB assembly primarily contains three phases: PCB fabrication, components procurement, and PCB assembly. Traditionally, you should quote and confirm design files with sales and engineers working for your PCB manufacturer, then components distributors, and finally PCB assemblers. Such a series of quotations and confirmations just need your time spent in contacting different partners. If those partners are from different countries, you have to overcome some problems such as time zone, communication habits, etc. Full-turnkey PCB assembly, however, is a highly-efficient form of electronic assembly. As soon as full-turnkey PCB assembly is determined, an overall assembly quotation and indispensable issues prohibiting smooth manufacturing will be raised so that three times of communication have been cut to one time with electronic assembly efficiency dramatically improved.
Lower Cost
Another advantage of full-turnkey PCB assembly service is overall cost reduction. Pick-up service is usually cheaper than separate ones as far as the electronic assembly is concerned. At least, the freight fee will be saved because you don't need to get manufactured PCB boards and electronic components delivered to the assembly workshop. Moreover, components procurement may get easy and customer-friendly because experienced electronic assemblers are usually able to provide reliable components at relatively low cost based on their long-term cooperation with parts manufacturers or distributors.
Transparent Monitoring
When it comes to the electronic assembly process, it's significant yet difficult to monitor your products' manufacturing stage as it is totally related to your products' performance and time to market. Full-turnkey PCB assembly allows engineers at each stage to be aware of what they've accomplished and to better understand their status for better performance of final products.
