Precision Consigned PCB Assembly Services
Consigned PCB assembly is ideal when you already have components on hand, need to use approved vendors, or require strict control over part selection and traceability. Instead of sourcing parts through the assembler, you supply the components—and your manufacturing partner focuses on executing assembly with consistent workmanship and reliable testing.
FastTurn PCB provides precision consigned PCB assembly services designed for high-mix builds and performance-critical programs. We support customers who manage procurement internally, use customer-controlled AVL/AML, or need to assemble with customer-owned inventory. Our workflows are built to reduce risk in consigned builds through structured receiving, kitting verification, revision control, and disciplined assembly execution.
From DFM review and BOM alignment to assembly, inspection, and functional validation, FastTurn’s consigned assembly process is designed to protect schedule, reduce rework, and ensure consistent build quality across prototypes and low-to-medium production runs.
What Is Consigned PCB Assembly?
Consigned PCB assembly (also called customer-supplied assembly) is a PCBA service model where the customer provides some or all components, while the manufacturer performs assembly, inspection, and testing. This approach is commonly used when:
- You already own components (excess inventory or long-lead items)
- Your program requires an approved AVL/AML
- You want tighter control over cost, part selection, or lot traceability
- Certain components must remain customer-managed for compliance reasons
- Consigned assembly can be implemented as:
- Full Consignment: you supply all components
- Partial Consignment: you supply selected parts; FastTurn supplies the rest (hybrid model)
