Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BokTech's PCB & PCBA manufacturing services, ordering, shipping, warranty and privacy. For anything not covered here, email support@boktech.cc or visit our Contact Us page.

01What services does BokTech provide?

BokTech is an ODM/EMS manufacturer providing electronic design and engineering, PCB fabrication, SMT and PCB assembly, component sourcing, prototyping, box build, mechanical & electrical engineering, testing, and low, medium and high-volume production.

02How fast can I get a quote from BokTech?

For standard PCB and PCBA orders, upload your Gerber file and receive an instant online quotation in minutes. For turnkey, box-build, or BOM-driven projects that require engineering review, our team returns a formal quote within 24 hours.

03Where are BokTech's facilities located?

BokTech has fabrication facilities in China and serves global clients. The contact address is in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

04Does BokTech support both prototyping and mass production?

Yes. BokTech supports prototyping as well as low, medium, and high-volume production.

05What is the typical PCB assembly (PCBA) lead time at BokTech?

For most standard turnkey projects, PCB assembly lead time ranges between 3 and 15 business days. A fast-turn prototype with in-stock components can ship in as little as 24 to 72 hours, while complex production runs involving global component sourcing or extensive functional testing typically take 2 to 4 weeks.

06When does the PCBA lead-time clock officially start?

The official lead time begins after the DFM engineering review is approved — not the moment the order is paid online. Submitting error-free design files prevents initial clock delays.

07How long does bare PCB fabrication take without assembly?

Standard 2-6 layer rigid PCBs take 2-4 business days for prototype runs, and quick-turn 2-layer boards can be produced in 24 hours. Complex multilayer boards (10+ layers, HDI, blind/buried vias) take 5-8 business days. Specialized finishes such as Hard Gold, Immersion Silver or ENEPIG may add 1-2 days.

08What factors delay PCB assembly the most?

Delays almost always trace to one of five root causes: long component factory lead times (specialized MCUs, PMICs or RF modules can run 12-26 weeks), ambiguous BOMs (missing MPNs or package codes), DFM and footprint mismatches, high-density packages that require 3D X-ray (AXI) inspection (fine-pitch BGAs down to 0.35 mm, 01005 passives, QFNs), and custom functional testing that adds 1-3 days.

09How can I shorten my PCB assembly lead time?

  • Use in-stock standard components from major suppliers (Yageo, Murata, TI, STMicroelectronics, Microchip).
  • List approved alternates (AML/AVL) directly in your BOM.
  • Submit a DFM-clean data package: Gerber/ODB++ files, an audited BOM with exact MPNs, a centroid (pick-and-place) file, and clear assembly drawings with component polarities marked.
  • Choose turnkey assembly so fabrication and sourcing overlap — saving 3-7 business days.
  • Leverage a Shenzhen-based local supply chain for same-day hard-to-find parts.

10How do prototype, low-volume and mass-production lead times compare?

Prototype runs of 5-50 boards take 1-2 weeks (expedited 3-5 business days); low-volume 50-500 boards take 2-3 weeks; high-volume mass production of 500-10,000+ boards takes 3-6 weeks.

15When is payment required?

Payment is 100% in full before shipment. After several cooperations, BokTech may offer credit with a prepayment percentage, with the remaining balance confirmed before shipment.

16Who is responsible for import duties and customs fees?

You (the customer) are responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling, brokerage, and customs clearance charges. BokTech will not falsify customs forms or mark orders as "gift" or "sample", and cannot lower declared values.

17When does the risk of loss pass to the buyer?

Risk of loss and title pass to you upon delivery to your specified shipping address, unless otherwise specified in writing. You are responsible for initiating any claim for lost or damaged shipments.

18What shipping methods does BokTech use for global delivery?
