As far as the plate is concerned, the main factors affecting the price are as follows:
1. Sheet Material: FR-4 is our common double-sided and multi-layer sheet. Its price is also related to the thickness of the board and the thickness of copper and platinum in the middle of the board. FR-I and CEM-1 are our common single-sided boards. The material is different, and the price of this material is also very different from the above double-sided, multi-layer board.
2. Thickness of the sheet: Common thickness includes 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0. The thickness and price of our conventional sheets are not very different.
3. Thickness of copper and platinum: The thickness is generally divided into 18um (2/1oz), 35um (1oz), 55um (1.5oz), 70um (2oz), etc.
4. Suppliers of raw materials.
Process Cost:
1. It depends on the circuit on the PCB. If the wire density is thin (below 4/4mm), the price will be calculated separately.
2. The cost will rise relatively if there is a BGA on the board.
3. It depends on the surface treatment process. Common ones are spray lead tin (hot air leveling), OSP (environmental protection board), spray pure tin, tin, silver, gold, etc. The surface technology is different, and the price will also differ.
4. It depends on the process standard. Common ones are IPC2, but some customers have higher requirements, such as IPC3, enterprise standard, military standard, etc. The higher the standard, the higher the price.
Every PCB sold in the industry is customized by customers. Therefore, the quotation of the PCB board needs to be cost-calculated first. It also needs to refer to the automatic layout calculation of the PCB computer, and the material utilization rate of the layout on the standard size copper clad laminate to determine the comprehensive quotation.
The cost calculation of the industry is the most special and complex of all industries. From cutting, pressing, forming, to FQC, packaging, and finished storage, it needs to be based on the material costs, labor costs, and manufacturing costs invested in each process, perform step-by-step accounting, and then accumulate costs in batches based on the order product number. For different types of products, the standard rate of the process will be different. Special calculation methods must be adopted for some products, such as blind and buried vias, immersion gold boards, and pressed copper seat boards, due to the particularity of the process or all materials. The size of the drill nozzle used in the drilling process will also affect the cost of the product, directly affecting the calculation and evaluation of WIP costs and scrap costs.
In addition, PCB buyers should pay attention that when choosing PCB board manufacturers, they cannot choose from the price point of view alone. They should compare the strength of PCB manufacturers, approximate product quotations, and service items.
