When it comes to electronics manufacturing, one of the most critical steps is PCB assembly, also known as PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly). Today, companies developing hardware need fast, reliable, and flexible manufacturing partners. That’s why Colombia —and companies like Bixtia— are becoming a smart option for North American businesses.
PCB vs. PCBA: What’s the difference?
Before diving into why Colombia is a strong option, let’s clarify a common confusion.
- A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is the physical board where components are mounted — the “skeleton” of the circuit.
- A PCBA is the complete assembly: the board plus all the electronic components soldered and tested — a functional unit.
In short:
- PCB = the platform.
- PCBA = the working product.
Many companies outsource PCB fabrication and PCBA separately, but doing both in one place streamlines timelines and reduces risks.
Why choose Colombia for your PCB assembly?
Colombia is becoming a competitive destination for electronics manufacturing. Here’s why:
âś… Shorter lead times than offshore production.
âś… No time zone delays or language barriers.
âś… Cost-effective production without compromising quality.
âś… Proximity to North and South American markets.
Working with a Colombian partner means faster iterations, clearer communication, and greater flexibility for your supply chain.
