How long does it usually take to produce SMT surface mount PCBA

The production cycle of SMT surface mount PCBA is not fixed and is influenced by various factors, ranging from a few days to several weeks. A typical 

small to medium-sized batch order cycle may be as follows:

Engineering review and material preparation: 1-3 days (document confirmation, component procurement - these are the most influential stages).

SMT production: 1-3 days (including steel mesh production, solder paste printing, SMT, reflow soldering, online testing).

Post processing (if any): 0.5-2 days (insertion, wave soldering/selective soldering, cleaning).

PCBA testing: 1-3 days (testing plan development, fixture production, actual testing).

Packaging and transportation: 0.5 days.

Therefore, a smooth order, from the complete set of materials to the shipment of finished products, usually requires 3-7 working days for the core production testing process. Combining preliminary engineering and logistics, the total delivery time may be around 1-2 weeks. Sampling is usually faster (3-7 days), while mass production depends on the specific quantity.
