Question 1

What PCBA services does STHL provide?

Accepted Answer

STHL covers the full electronics manufacturing chain: PCB layout, electronic component sourcing, PCB fabrication, SMT and THT assembly, BGA assembly, IC programming, conformal coating, cable and wire harness assembly, box build assembly and functional testing.

Question 2

Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for PCB assembly?

Accepted Answer

No. STHL accepts prototype, low-volume and high-volume PCB assembly orders, so you can validate a design with a small batch and scale on the same production lines.

Question 3

Which quality certifications does STHL hold?

Accepted Answer

STHL operates under IATF 16949 (automotive), ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 13485 (medical devices) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) certified systems, with ERP and MES traceability for every work order.

Question 4

How does STHL protect my design files and intellectual property?

Accepted Answer

STHL signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement before RFQ review, so Gerber files, BOMs and firmware are protected before any engineering evaluation begins.

Question 5

What files are needed to start a PCBA project?

Accepted Answer

A typical PCBA project requires Gerber files, a bill of materials (BOM) with manufacturer part numbers, a pick-and-place (centroid) file, assembly drawings and your test requirements. Engineers then return DFM feedback before production.

Question 6

Which countries does STHL ship PCB assemblies to?

Accepted Answer

STHL ships to customers in the USA, Germany, Italy, the UK, Poland, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Turkey, Korea, Thailand and more than 90 other countries and regions, with a 99.5% on-time delivery record.
