PCB and Component Sourcing for Office Paper Shredders
For an office paper shredder, you may need a bare PCB, a few hard-to-source parts or a populated control board ready for testing. Tell us which items you need for your model so we can quote the board, parts and assembly work separately where needed.
What do you need quoted?
| Item to quote | What to send |
|---|---|
| Bare PCB | Gerber and drill files, board thickness, copper weight and quantity per order. |
| Electronic component sourcing | The BOM lines you want priced, manufacturer part numbers and any approved alternatives. |
| Assembled control board | PCB files, BOM and assembly drawing. Identify the motor and sensor connectors, and include firmware if programming is in scope. |
How should we test the control board?
If your model starts automatically when paper enters the feed slot, there are two different checks you could specify. On a fixture, we can check the board’s response to a simulated paper sensor signal. To check how it responds to an actual sheet, we would need the sensor and feed mechanism in their intended positions.
If your model has a reverse button, tell us what the motor should do while the button is held and when it is released. Mark which checks you want performed before board shipment and which your team will run on the finished shredder.
For board-level checks, see our PCBA testing and inspection options.
