A clear and accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) is one of the most important documents in any PCB assembly build. It guides procurement, machine programming, and every step of the assembly line. A messy or incomplete BOM can slow a project down, create sourcing delays, or cause errors that ripple through the entire build.
We teamed up with Cofactr to prepare this BOM template to help hardware teams avoid those issues, we are highlighting a free BOM template that makes it easier to organize the parts for your next project.

This template is designed for fast moving engineering teams and works well for quick turn PCB assembly, prototyping, and production runs.
What This BOM Template Includes
The downloadable Excel and Google Sheets version includes structured fields for:
-
Item number
-
Part Number
-
Description
-
Designator
-
Manufacturer name
-
Supplier
- Quantity
A well organized BOM helps prevent delays and helps ensure that the parts at your feeder banks match the build instructions. This reduces back and forth during DFM and helps keep quick turn schedules on track.
How To Use the Template
-
Download the preferred file format from the link above.
-
Rename the sheet with your project title and revision.
-
Delete any example rows and enter one part per line beginning at row 9.
-
Save or export the completed file to Excel or CSV before sending it to procurement or your PCB assembly partner.
Why This Matters For Gorilla Circuits Customers
A streamline BOM helps everyone move faster. Shorter review cycles, fewer sourcing issues, and smoother procurement all contribute to reliable assembly timelines. Since Gorilla Circuits supports fast turn PCB fabrication and assembly in the USA, clean documentation helps us deliver builds with fewer interruptions and quicker approvals.
Support Beyond the Template
Gorilla Circuits also offers full BOM procurement services to help customers move from documentation to production without the usual delays. Our team sources components, verifies part data, and manages alternates to keep builds on schedule. For repeat orders, we provide complimentary component inventory storage in our climate-controlled facility so excess parts are kept secure and ready for the next run. It is one more way we help streamline our quick turn, Made in the USA assembly and reduce friction for engineering teams.
