PCB Component Sourcing

Strategies for Boosting Procurement Efficiency in PCB Component Sourcing How many times have you uploaded your BOM to a distributor website, only to find that half of the parts can't be procured or will be stuck on backorder? You're not alone if this has happened to you. The industry moves very quickly, and if you're ordering at levels that require you to procure through distributors, you shouldn't be surprised when some items in your BOM go obsolete, reach end-of-life (EOL), or go out of stock. This can all happen 阅读文章

Tips to Reduce BOM Errors and Ensure Compliance

Tips to Reduce BOM Errors and Ensure Compliance One of the most common reasons for delays in PCB assembly, as well as extra costs, is errors in parts information in a BOM. There are plenty of reasons errors can arise in a BOM, and these errors can range from a simple part number mistake to missing environmental compliance data or marking parts as DNP. Omitting this data creates new liabilities for manufacturers and can lead to incorrect part ordering by the procurement team. Staying on 阅读文章

Engineering Teams Love Integrated BOM and CAD Systems

Why Engineering Teams Love Integrated BOM and CAD Systems There's a big difference between a parts list and a BOM for a PCBA. A parts list is a simple list of part numbers that will appear in the design. It doesn't become a BOM until some sourcing information is attached. Once you have a real BOM, you can go out and source parts from your vendors and start the assembly process. At the end of the design process, a designer will need to attach that sourcing information to their parts list and turn it into 阅读文章

BOM Analysis: My Favorite Tools for BOM Review Getting caught with unsourceable components in a bill of materials (BOM) is more common than you might think, especially if you delay the BOM review until the last moment. Even with all the real-time supply chain tools provided in EDA software, designers can still get to the stage where they need to place an order, only to find parts are suddenly out of stock. A related issue is obsolescence, where parts included in a hardware BOM suddenly go 阅读文章
