Bare Components

Fundamental electronic parts that are not assembled into a larger unit. Examples include Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), electro-mechanical components, and lithium-ion cells.

Sub-Assemblies

Components that are themselves made up of smaller parts but are not yet the final product. In electronics, examples include display modules and camera modules used in mobile phones and other devices.

Hybrid Incentive

A combined incentive model offered under the ECMS scheme for specific component segments, which may include elements of both turnover-linked and capital expenditure incentives, designed to meet particular industry needs.
