Low Volume PCB
Assembly.

From a single prototype to a few hundred boards — no minimum order, no compromise on quality. Every low-volume order gets the same manufacturing process, the same inspection, and the same attention as a production run.

Who It's For

Who Needs Low Volume Assembly

Low volume assembly serves a wide range of customers — from individual engineers to growing product companies.

R&D Engineers

You need a prototype to verify your design before committing to production. One board, fast turnaround, full turnkey — so you can focus on the design, not the supply chain.

Startups & Crowdfunding

Your campaign succeeded and you need to fulfill 200 orders. Or you need 50 boards for beta testers. Low volume assembly bridges the gap between prototype and mass production.

Certification & Compliance

You need a small batch of boards for CE, FCC, or UL testing. Certification labs require production-representative samples — not hand-built prototypes.

Industrial & Custom Products

Your product runs in small volumes by design — specialized industrial equipment, custom instruments, or niche market products that will never need mass production quantities.

Repair & Replacement

You need replacement boards for field repairs, spare parts inventory, or legacy product support. Small quantities, exact specification match, fast delivery.

Design Iteration

You are on revision 3 of your design and need 5 boards to test the latest changes. Fast turnaround, no tooling fees for revision changes, same factory every time.

The Problem

Low Volume Is Hard.

Small orders get deprioritized. Setup costs eat your budget. Lead times are unpredictable. And when something goes wrong, you are too small to get attention. POE is built differently.

Common Problem

High Setup Costs Kill Small Orders

Most factories charge setup fees that make small orders uneconomical. POE's flexible production system minimizes setup overhead — so a 5-board order is priced fairly, not penalized.

Common Problem

Small Orders Get Deprioritized

At large factories, your 10-board order waits behind 10,000-board production runs. At POE, low-volume orders are a core part of our business — not an afterthought. Your lead time is what we quote.

Common Problem

Quality Drops on Small Batches

Some factories skip inspection on small orders. POE applies the same AOI, X-Ray, and electrical testing to a 5-board order as a 500-board order. Every board ships tested.

Common Problem

Re-Qualification When You Scale

You prototype at one factory, then have to re-qualify at another for production. With POE, your prototype and your production run come from the same factory, same process, same team.
