ZZPCBA
Printed circuit boards, assembled boards and the components that go onto them, for overseas OEMs, industrial electronics companies and electronics manufacturers. ZZPCBA has run fabrication and assembly since 2005, with an 8,000 m² facility and more than 300 staff covering prototype builds through to series production.
Four services covering a board from bare fabrication through assembly and component supply, with prototype work running on the same documentation as production.
Rigid, double-sided, multilayer, flexible, HDI, aluminium, high-frequency and heavy copper boards, produced from your Gerber and drill files with the build requirements confirmed before production.
What we need from you: Gerber and drill files, stack-up, quantity
Explore PCB manufacturing →Surface-mount, through-hole, mixed technology and BGA assembly on YAMAHA placement lines, with components supplied under turnkey, consignment or mixed arrangements.
What we need from you: BOM, pick-and-place data, assembly drawing
Explore PCBA manufacturing →BOM lines reviewed one by one for package, quantity and lifecycle status, with availability, MOQ and lead time checked before quotation and alternatives proposed for your approval.
What we need from you: BOM with quantities and approved alternatives
Explore component sourcing →Prototype boards and assembled samples produced from the same files that are used for the production run, so a design that passes at prototype stage does not need re-engineering.
What we need from you: Gerber or BOM, target quantity, required date
See prototyping options →Fabrication, assembly and component supply are handled as one production flow, so a board does not have to be re-specified as it moves from bare board to assembled unit.
Layer count, base material, finished thickness, copper weight, surface finish and impedance targets are confirmed per project against the documentation you supply. Specific build limits are stated in the quotation rather than assumed here.
Fabrication and assembly run under one roof, which keeps the material, process and inspection record for an order in one place.

Placement, printing, reflow and inspection equipment is used for both prototype and series orders. Process detail is set out on the PCBA manufacturing page.
Quality control runs from incoming material through to final inspection, with production records kept per order so a delivered batch can be traced back to the material and process behind it.

Laminate and components are checked against the approved documentation before release to production.
Each production stage is checked against the build documentation agreed for the order.
Automated optical inspection and X-Ray are applied to assembled boards, including BGA and other hidden joints.
Finished units are checked against the agreed acceptance criteria before dispatch.
Functional testing is arranged to your test specification where the project calls for it; the method and coverage are agreed during quotation. Records covering material, process and inspection results are retained per order for traceability.
Six stages from first email to dispatch. Nothing is released to production until the scope has been confirmed in writing.
Gerber and drill data for bare boards; BOM, pick-and-place data and assembly drawings for assembled boards. Quantities and technical requirements go in the same message.
The documentation is reviewed, gaps are identified, and build requirements — material, finish, stack-up or supply model — are confirmed before pricing.
A written quotation sets out the scope, material and sourcing position, and the acceptance criteria that will apply.
Laminate is allocated and components are procured or checked in, with shortages reported before production rather than after.
Fabrication, assembly or both run against the confirmed documentation, with in-process checks at each stage.
Finished boards are inspected against the agreed criteria, records are retained, and the order is packed for dispatch.
Two decades of board fabrication and assembly experience, applied to every order rather than reserved for large accounts.
Fabrication, assembly and component supply sit in the same facility, so the handover between stages stays inside one workflow.
Turnkey, consignment or mixed supply — the model follows your stock and contract position, not ours.
Prototype and series orders are built from the same files, so an approved design does not need to be re-engineered before volume.
For bare boards, Gerber and drill files plus your build notes. For assembled boards, a BOM, pick-and-place data and an assembly drawing. Quantities and any technical requirements should be in the same message. If part of the documentation is still open, describe what you have and it will be resolved during review.
A PCB is the bare board produced from your Gerber data. PCBA — printed circuit board assembly — is that board after components have been placed and soldered onto it, which requires a BOM and assembly data in addition to the fabrication files.
Either. Under turnkey supply the BOM is procured against your order. Under consignment you supply the components and we assemble. Mixed supply splits the BOM line by line, which suits projects where some parts are already held or under contract.
BOM lines are checked for availability, minimum order quantity, lead time and lifecycle status before quotation. Where a part cannot be supplied as specified, an alternative is proposed for your approval, or the line is reported back to you. Nothing is substituted automatically.
Yes. Prototype and production quantities are both quoted, and they are built from the same documentation, so a design that passes at prototype stage carries into the production run without being re-specified.
ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 14001 cover the management systems. IPC-A-600, IPC-A-610 and IPC J-STD-001 are used as acceptance standards for boards and assemblies. UL covers product safety certification and REACH covers substance compliance. Where you have your own acceptance criteria, they are written into the quotation.
Any proposed alternative is put to you with the reason — availability, lead time, minimum quantity or lifecycle status — and the comparison covers electrical parameters, package, temperature range and lifecycle. Nothing is fitted without your written approval.
You receive a written quotation covering scope, material, sourcing position and acceptance criteria. Production is released once you confirm that quotation.
Send your project files and requirements by email. They are reviewed and answered with a quotation based on the actual scope of the work.
