![]() The “Bill of Materials”, commonly referred to as the BOM or electrical BOM, is simply a list. If that describes you, then you’ve come to the right place and you're not alone. Perhaps there are many others out there who need some basic information on PCB BOM management. This got me thinking that maybe the initial lack of BOM experience wasn’t uncommon. The most popular being, “what is a BOM, and what it is used for?”. So, I was surprised then when I recently found myself fielding questions about the Bill of Materials. Since then, I’ve worked with plenty of BOM PCBs in the different jobs that I’ve had, and I usually don’t give them much thought anymore. Whatever the reason though, I was in the dark when it came to the BOM, and I had a lot of questions. It probably was because those customers created their own PCB BOM board and we worked only with the data that they gave us. In all that time though, I never worked with a PCB bill of materials. I built assembly components, placed and routed traces, and created Gerber files and drawings. I spent many years designing circuit boards in a service bureau. ![]()
