RFQ FAQ
What RFQ inputs should I prepare before emailing Venture Electronics?
Gerber or ODB++, BOM, CPL, assembly drawing, quantity, testing requirements, and delivery expectations are the main RFQ inputs.
Can I start an RFQ without a complete test plan?
Yes, but we may ask for fixture, firmware, acceptance criteria, or test procedure details before confirming testing scope.
Can Venture Electronics review BOM alternatives?
Alternatives can be discussed when sourcing or lifecycle risk appears, but customer approval is required before substitution.
How should I send large or sensitive project files?
Start by email and confirm the preferred transfer method before sending large, sensitive or NDA-protected files.
Does Venture Electronics provide a standard schedule for every project?
Schedule is reviewed by project because BOM availability, complexity, quantity, and testing scope vary.
Should I name the supply model in the RFQ?
Yes. State whether the project is consigned, kitted, partial-turnkey, full-turnkey or mixed supply. Material responsibility affects sourcing review, shortage handling, approved alternatives and schedule discussion.
