PCB FAQ
1. How much does a PCB prototype cost?
PCB prototype costs depend on layers, size, material, surface finish and quantity. Basic 2-layer prototypes cost a few dollars each. We can give you an exact quote after you upload your Gerber files.
2. What factors affect PCB pricing?
The key influencing factors are layer count, board size, base material, surface finish, copper thickness, hole size, impedance control, order quantity and lead time. Special manufacturing processes will also have an impact on the final cost.
3. How fast can you deliver PCB samples?
Standard 2-layer PCB samples take 3–5 working days for production, rush service finishes within 24–48 hours, multilayer and special boards require 5–7 working days. International air shipping takes an extra 3–7 working days, while sea shipping needs 15–30 days to reach your destination.
4. What files do you need for production?
Gerber files and drill files are mandatory for PCB production. We support native design files from Protel 99SE, Altium Designer, PADS and Eagle, and we offer free Gerber file conversion service for all customers.
5. Do you offer free PCB file review?
Yes, we provide free DFM PCB file review service for all PCB orders. Our inspection covers opens, shorts, trace spacing, hole sizes, impedance parameters and all other potential PCB production risks to avoid defective boards before manufacturing.
6. What is your PCB MOQ?
Yes, we have no MOQ requirement for all PCB orders. We accept PCB orders starting from just 1 piece for PCB prototypes, R&D projects and small-batch PCB production to meet your flexible ordering needs.
7. What surface finishes do you provide?
We supply multiple professional PCB surface finishes including OSP, HASL, ENIG (Immersion Gold) and more customized options. OSP is highly cost-effective for conventional standard PCB boards; ENIG is perfectly ideal for BGA packaging and high-precision PCB design projects with strict reliability demands.
8. Are your PCBs RoHS compliant?
Yes, all of our PCB products fully comply with RoHS 2.0 and lead-free manufacturing standards. We can provide official RoHS compliance certificates to support your global export customs clearance.
9. Do you inspect PCBs before shipping?
Yes, we conduct full inspection for all PCB boards before shipment. Our standard tests cover appearance, dimension, continuity and insulation, together with AOI, X-Ray and impedance testing for every PCB batch.
10. What PCB base materials do you supply?
We supply multiple mainstream PCB base materials including standard FR-4, high-Tg FR-4, aluminum substrate, high-frequency material and flexible PI material to match different PCB application scenarios such as power equipment, communication and consumer electronics.
PCBA FAQ
1. What do you need for a PCBA quote?
To generate an accurate PCBA quotation, we require four core sets of documents: Gerber PCB manufacturing files, full detailed BOM list with component specifications, centroid placement files for SMT assembly, and complete PCBA assembly specifications including testing standards and packaging demands.
2. Do you provide component sourcing?
Yes, we offer complete component sourcing service for all PCBA orders. All electronic components we supply are sourced from original manufacturers and worldwide authorized distributors to guarantee genuine quality for your global export projects.
3. What assembly services do you offer?
We provide a full range of PCBA assembly services, including SMT mounting, DIP through-hole plug-in, BGA rework & repair, double-sided PCB assembly, mixed SMT&DIP assembly, and conformal coating protection processing.
4. How long is PCBA lead time?
The PCBA lead time varies by order type: prototype PCBA takes 5–7 working days, small-batch orders take 7–10 working days, and mass production takes 10–15 working days, with the exact timeline subject to the availability of electronic components.
5. Do you provide PCBA testing?
Yes, we carry out full multi-stage testing for all PCBA finished boards, including AOI optical inspection, ICT circuit test, flying probe test for high-density prototype PCBA boards, functional verification and aging burn-in test to guarantee 100% working performance before delivery.
6. Do you accept small PCBA orders?
Yes, we accept small PCBA orders starting from 1 piece for R&D prototypes and trial batches. We maintain strict full testing procedures for all small PCBA assembly jobs to deliver consistent stable quality same as mass production orders.
7. Can you assemble BGA and fine-pitch chips?
Yes, we have professional high-precision SMT equipment to assemble BGA, QFP, QFN, CSP and all types of ultra-fine-pitch tiny chips. Every finished PCBA will go through full X-Ray inspection to check hidden solder joints under chips for open and short circuits.
8. Do you use genuine components?
Yes, all electronic components we adopt for PCBA production are brand-new genuine original parts sourced from official manufacturers and authorized global distributors. We strictly reject second-hand, refurbished and counterfeit components to guarantee stable product performance and export compliance certificates.
9. Do you offer one-stop service?
Yes, we provide full one-stop PCBA manufacturing solutions, including PCB fabrication, original component procurement, SMT&DIP assembly, multi-item quality testing and door-to-door global shipping service for all overseas clients.
10. What if quality issues occur?
We bear full responsibility for all quality problems caused by our production. We provide free rework, full remake, full refund or free re-delivery as you require, and we will cover all related shipping and logistics costs entirely.
