About 吃瓜tv
From your design files to bare boards and assembled products.
吃瓜tv provides custom PCB fabrication, component sourcing and assembly for prototype and production builds. Based in Shenzhen, China, we work with engineering and purchasing teams to define the construction, supply responsibilities and checks that each project needs.
Who we are
A manufacturing conversation that starts with your design.
A PCB order is more than a layer count and a quantity. The material, geometry, component supply and verification requirements all affect the delivered product. 吃瓜tv brings fabrication and assembly into that conversation so that engineering decisions and purchasing requirements can be reviewed together.
Our work includes conventional rigid boards as well as RF, HDI, flexible, rigid-flex and metal-base constructions. For assembled boards, you can discuss full-turnkey sourcing, a mixed supply arrangement or assembly using customer-supplied materials. The appropriate route depends on the actual files and the finished unit you need.
You do not need every specification settled before contacting us. Send the current revision, describe the intended build and identify the questions still open. A useful first discussion can establish what is ready for quotation and what needs engineering input.
Choose the scope you need
Three ways to work with 吃瓜tv
Start with the deliverable. A bare board, a populated PCB and an ongoing OEM manufacturing program need different information and responsibilities.
PCB fabrication
Manufacture the circuit board to a defined material, stackup, copper, hole and surface-finish specification. Bring the board outline, fabrication data, quantity and any critical impedance or mechanical requirements.
Explore PCB manufacturing →PCB assembly
Add component sourcing, SMT or through-hole assembly, and the programming or testing needed for your build. Identify who supplies the PCB and each part, which substitutions may be proposed, and what the delivered assembly must include.
Explore PCB assembly →OEM manufacturing programs
Discuss pilot builds, repeat releases, product transfer, engineering changes or system integration. Define the ownership of materials, fixtures, firmware, test instructions and final acceptance across the program.
Explore contract manufacturing →For specific dimensions and process conditions, use the PCB capability tables or assembly capabilities. Individual limits need to be considered together for your construction.
Engineering and purchasing, connected
Make the handoff clear before the build starts.
For a designer, the priority may be a controlled stackup, a difficult hole structure or a component clearance. For a buyer, it may be an approved BOM, a required delivery date or the documents that must accompany the shipment. A coherent manufacturing package connects those priorities.
- One released revision. Keep fabrication data, drawings, BOM and placement instructions consistent.
- Visible open questions. Identify material choices, alternative parts and features that need review instead of leaving the manufacturer to guess.
- A defined verification scope. Specify the inspection, electrical checks or functional tests that will establish acceptance.
Use the PCB DFM guide to prepare fabrication questions. For a populated build, the PCBA file checklist explains the role of the BOM, placement data, drawings and test instructions.
Have only preliminary files? Tell us what is available and what you need help deciding. Tools and checklists are optional; you can contact the team directly.
From enquiry to the next build
Keep the important decisions visible.
A clear handoff makes a quotation more useful and a repeat order easier to define. Use these four stages to organize the discussion around your project.
Share the requirements
Send the available design files, revision, quantity and delivery target. State whether you need bare boards, assembly or a wider product scope. Flag unresolved technical questions.
Define the offer and release
Resolve construction and sourcing questions. Review the quoted inclusions, proposed alternatives, inspection scope and lead-time basis before approving the production files.
Build against agreed requirements
Connect the approved revision to the manufacturing and inspection plan. Identify the records, sample approval or test results needed to review the completed build.
Prepare the next release
Carry prototype feedback into the next revision. For repeat orders, identify changes to the BOM, board, firmware or tests and decide how they affect existing materials and acceptance.
Quality and supplier review
Evaluate the process behind your board.
A useful supplier review connects the proposed build to the process, acceptance criteria and evidence. Our quality assurance guide explains how manufacturing controls, inspection and order-specific documentation fit together.
- Review the relevant manufacturing routeExplore PCB fabrication equipment and assembly equipment by process, then discuss the route relevant to your board.
- Define the evidence needed for your orderIdentify the applicable acceptance criteria, test coverage and records. A bare-board connectivity check and an assembled-product functional test answer different questions.
- Bring your supplier-approval requirementsFor qualification, request current site and certification information, the applicable scope, and the sample documents your purchasing or quality team needs.
Photographs introduce the published process and product range. Project-specific capability, certification scope and acceptance are established by the relevant documents and agreed requirements.
Before you get in touch
A few practical questions
Can I ask for help before my files are ready for production?
Yes. Identify the current revision and the decisions still open. Preliminary files can support an initial review; a manufacturing release needs a consistent, approved set of files and requirements.
Can 吃瓜tv quote the PCB and assembly together?
Yes. State the bare-board requirements and add the BOM, placement data and assembly instructions that are available. Include programming, inspection, testing and packaging requirements so the requested scope is clear.
Can we supply some of the components ourselves?
Discuss full-turnkey, partial-turnkey or consigned assembly. A mixed arrangement should identify the supply owner for the PCB and each component group, along with quantities, packaging, arrival requirements and any approved alternatives.
What should our purchasing or quality team request?
Share your supplier questionnaire and the documentation required for the proposed work. Ask for the relevant manufacturing site, current certification scope and order-specific inspection or test records. The quality assurance page provides a starting framework.
How should we handle confidential design information?
Before sending sensitive files, contact the team to discuss your confidentiality requirements, any NDA needed and a suitable transfer method. You can begin with a general description of the project and the question you need resolved.
Start with the project you have
Tell us what you need to build.
Share the current design stage, build quantity and the question you need answered. Add the available files and delivery target. If a material, component or test requirement is undecided, mark it for review.
