How to choose a assemblage électronique supplier in Ontario

Prepare the bill of materials with manufacturer part numbers, approved substitutions and board revision. Include assembly drawings, placement files, programming instructions and cleaning requirements. Distinguish surface-mount, through-hole and mixed operations; SMT capability does not establish support for every package. Define who purchases components, supplies bare boards and carries obsolescence risk. Engineering must approve equivalents before purchase. Require appropriate traceability and written treatment of surplus or customer-supplied parts. Turnkey service may include bare boards outsourced outside the province. Agree automated optical inspection, X-ray checks where needed and electrical tests. Visual inspection does not replace functional testing. For in-circuit testing, specify access, programming and fixtures. Define responsibility for test development and the records delivered with the product. Request a pilot lot before recurring orders. Check programming, finishes, connectors and box-build integration. Compare setup, materials, assembly, tests and logistics separately. Agree handling of changes, repairs and transfers between plants. Check advertised certification scope against the actual site and order rather than assuming every product is compliant. Record acceptance criteria with the released documentation so later changes cannot silently alter the approved assembly. Require the supplier to clarify which manufacturing and test activities are local and which are assigned to outside partners.

FAQ

Does SMT mean bare-board fabrication?

No. It means mounting components onto the board surface.

Is AOI sufficient?

No. Define electrical and functional tests separately.

What does turnkey mean?

Scope must be written: purchasing, assembly, testing and integration.

How should substitutions be handled?

Through technical approval before purchasing and production.
