Pcb Assembly: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $11.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.00 at volume, on a typical 14-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $11.50 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $8.50 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $5.50 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $3.50 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $2.60 |
| 100,000+ units | $2.00 |
What moves the price
For pcb assembly, the drivers are material, thickness, finish, hole pattern, load rating, tray compatibility, microvia count, laser drill size — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For PCB assembly, price is driven most by BOM complexity, placement count, through-hole vs. SMT mix, board size/layer count, and whether the quote includes component sourcing, stencil, and test. The most realistic supplier routes for US-facing wholesale are offshore EMS/PCBA houses with export fulfillment and tiered assembly pricing, plus domestic contract assemblers for higher-mix, lower-volume work; published pricing typically shows steep per-unit declines as volumes rise, with setup and per-joint labor costs dominating small runs. Mid-range custom configurations generally land in the single-digit to low-teens per board at 500-4,999 units, then move toward low single digits at 10,000+ units, assuming a fairly standard board and assembly process.
