Quality control
Incoming Quality Inspection
Optional IQC before parts ship to your factory or PCBA partner — packaging, labels, lots, and reject handling. Pair it with multi-line BOM sourcing for one consolidated flow.
Why teams add IQC
When parts come from multiple channels, a structured incoming check reduces line risk.
Catch issues before the line
Label, lot, and packaging problems are cheaper to stop at IQC than on SMT.
Traceability
Keep lot / date-code records for later audits and returns.
Tied to BOM sourcing
Parts we source for your BOM can go through IQC before consolidated delivery.
Inspection scope
Standard checks; deeper tests can be scoped per project.
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Appearance & packaging | Package integrity, pin condition, vacuum/MSL markings. |
| Labels & lots | MPN, brand, Lot No., Date Code vs. PO. |
| Quantity & marking | Count verification and marking/package match. |
| Optional testing | Electrical sampling or X-Ray when scoped. |
| Documentation | Inspection records and certificates as needed. |
| Non-conformance | Isolate rejects; replace or credit — do not ship bad lots. |
If something fails
Isolate, document, replace — do not ship NC material.
