An electronic component is any physical entity in an electronic system used to affect the electrons or their associated fields in a manner consistent with the intended function of the electronic system. Components are generally intended to be connected together, usually by being soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB), to create an electronic circuit with a particular function
For purchasing, this process starts when engineering sends them a bill of materials (BOM) for a new design.
A bill of materials (BOM) is a comprehensive list of the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts, and the quantities of each required to create a product, as well as instructions required for gathering and using the required materials. It can be understood as the recipe and shopping list for creating a final product. The bill of materials usually appears in a hierarchical format, with bottom level showing individual components and materials and the highest level displaying the finished product. The bill of materials explains what, how, and where to buy required materials, and includes instructions for how to assemble the product from the various parts ordered.
Once you have completed your BOM, you are ready to move forward to request for quote(RFQ). A complete BOM should include essential items for PCB assemblers, including part number, manufacturer name, reference designator, quantity, description, case/package, SMT method, top/bottom, points/footprint, and BOM level.
Here at China Sourcelink we provides a turnkey approach to material management that includes all aspects of component procurement and inventory control. Our close relationships with leading component distributors, such as Digi-key Electronics, Mouser Electronics, Farnell element14, Arrow Electronics, Avnet, etc, which enable us to provide original and high quality components. Our established business relationships also allow us to optimize your purchasing power to get the best value for every dollar you spend.
