Reasons for the high processing cost of small and medium-sized SMT patch orders

With the continuous development of the electronics industry, the demand for SMT components is also increasing, and this will also bring a lot ofSmall and medium batchSMTPatchOrder. But in many cases, SMT chip manufacturers are reluctant to accept such small and medium-sized orders, especially when they have orders on their own, they are even more reluctant to accept them, and even if a manufacturer receives small and medium-sized SMT orders , Its processing cost will also be nearly 4 layers higher than the normal order, and this is mainly caused by the following reasons:

First, the comprehensive production cost of small and medium-sized SMT patches is too high. Why do you say this? Because the SMT patch processing industry is different from the general processing and manufacturing industry, the cost of the general processing and manufacturing industry may be mainly concentrated on labor and material costs. In addition to the above costs, the SMT patch processing industry will also have placement machine programming. Costs, PCB positioning and other costs, plus the processing equipment is very expensive, a piece of equipment may cost several million, so the depreciation of the equipment is also very high, and the processing flow of small and medium-sized SMT patch orders and the processing flow of large-volume orders It is exactly the same. If the processing quantity cannot be guaranteed, it is conceivable that the processing cost of small and medium batch orders will reach a relatively high price.

Second, small and medium-volume SMT patch orders are not attractive to some patch processing manufacturers. Since the production process of small and medium batch orders is exactly the same as that of large batch orders, the requirements are very high, the process is very cumbersome, but the profit is very low. If the operation is wrong, there may be a loss, which causes a lot of SMT patch processing The factory is unwilling to accept small and medium-sized SMT patch orders, especially those with a stable customer source. As there are fewer manufacturers willing to accept small and medium batch orders in the SMT processing market, the processing costs for small and medium batch orders are steadily rising.
