How to Select a Printed Circuit Board Manufacturer

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Hugh Washington

Contracting with an electronics manufacturer requires some research into the company's capabilities. Depending on one's needs, it can be critical to find a printed circuit board manufacturer that can handle PCB assembly for large and small runs. It's important to find a manufacturer with a proven track record so orders are filled promptly and no backlog occurs, causing delays and lost business due to late shipments of circuit boards. Cost is another key consideration. All of these factors together can help a business find the right PCB manufacturer for its supply chain.

One of the points that is important to check on when selecting a printed circuit board manufacturer is if they have an affiliate network that they can access so they can source bare circuit board requirements. This and the main company's turnaround time will be critical to one's own business being able to meet deadlines. A good rule of thumb is to look for PCB manufacturers that can promise a 3-4 week turnaround on an order; ideally, regardless of size.

Another factor to take into consideration when choosing a circuit board supplier is if they can handle prototyping. This service can be important if one just needs a prototype run. It can also help a business decide if that particular PCB manufacturer is one that would be good to work with over the long term. Some firms that are good at prototyping can get prototypes done in 7-10 days.

Touring the PCB assembly facility that one plans to work with is another important step in the selection of a printed circuit board supplier. Check to see that the facility is equipped with the machines and systems that can handle the jobs that need to be done. Equipment such as Siemens SP-120 Pick and Place Machines, DEK 265LT In Line Automatic Screen Printers and Testronic 504 Automated Optical Inspection Machines are some of the required machinery that allow PCB assembly facilities to turn out high quality circuit board orders.

It can be a daunting task to find just the right PCB assembly company, but a bit of investigation into several facilities can yield not only cost savings but possibly a partner one can work with over the long term. It's quite important to find a manufacturer that has a solid track record. Try to find companies that have at least a decade or more of printed circuit board assembly experience. Companies with a history such as this can provide surface mount, thru-hole, and mixed technology, leaded and lead-free manufacturing, and consignment and turnkey capabilities. They also can usually offer fast quotes and take care of a full production run within 4 weeks. The last, but certainly not least attribute to weigh, is the manufacturer's customer service. A responsive PCB contract electronics manufacturer can be critical to one's bottom line. Ensuring this is as important as checking on the manufacturer's production capabilities.
