I'm about to take the plunge and try having JLCPCB do my board assembly as well as PCB manufacture. I'm selecting specific part numbers from JLCPCB's inventory for given components on the board, and I'm looking for some advice on resistor brands.
For example, if I search for "10k 0603 thin film" a large number of options are available. The brands that I recognise (Vishay, Ohmite, Panasonic, Susumu) typically have an MOQ of 1000+. The brands that have reasonable (for me) MOQs are not familiar - Yageo, Resistor.Today, Viking Tech, Ever Ohms.
I'm assuming these brands are decent quality, given they're what JLCPCB keep in stock. Should I worry about which brand to choose, or will they all do the job?
Thanks a ton 😀

We used to use Yageo in some high reliability products so they are definitely good enough.
Not sure about the other brands.
Quality of the parts probably makes more of a difference when you populate by hand.
What are you gonna get produced? Must be exciting to get PCBs already assembled but I wonder if it´s worth for only a handful of pieces?

I'm producing an open-source modular synth. Tons of tiny components, so beyond my abilities to hand solder. I considered doing it in my reflow oven, but thought it'd make a good candidate for trying out 3rd party assembly.
Thank you for the thumbs up on Yageo 🙂
