The Real Cost of Flex PCBA: Why the Cheapest Quote Is Rarely the Best
Flex PCBA pricing often surprises OEMs. While the initial quote may look competitive, hidden cost drivers—such as low yield, rework, and reliability failures—can quickly outweigh upfront savings.
Factors like material selection, assembly complexity, and DFM quality have a much greater impact on total cost than unit price alone. In flex PCBA projects, a slightly higher initial investment often results in lower lifecycle cost and faster scaling.
Understanding what truly drives flex PCBA cost helps OEMs make smarter sourcing decisions.
