How to Choose a Printed Circuit Board Manufacturer

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Gillian Steelwell

The old saying 'time is money' was never more true than when it comes to working with a contract electronics manufacturing firm. To ensure time isn't wasted going from one firm to another, one needs to find a single manufacturer with the facilities to handle any type of PCB run. It can be hard to find one such firm, but there are some companies that specialize in offering such comprehensive capabilities. If one takes a bit of time to research contract circuit board assembly manufacturers, the reward can be both time and money saved.
One of the first things that need to be investigated when selecting a printed circuit board firm is if they own the equipment necessary to get the job done. Whether one needs a big run or a small prototype job, the manufacturer has to be agile enough to handle any request. This includes owning such equipment that can turn out the needed circuit board assemblies; such as Samsung CP45FV P&P systems, Electrovert Omniflow5 Reflow Ovens, Siemens HS-180 Glue Machines and more. Then there's the question of the firm's network relationships. Does the firm have relationships with global networks so that they can source any needed materials for the requested job? It might be a good idea to tour the electronics manufacturing plants one has in mind, to see how each compares, before making a decision.
One way of selecting a contract printed circuit board manufacturer is to check their customer service. Some firms offer free PCB file checks and free PCB layout software. Take a look at what each firm offers, and consider any special pricing they may provide for the job one has in mind. Some firms might provide special pricing or other considerations depending on the job.
Another way to compare circuit board manufacturers is by how quickly they can quote the job and create prototypes. While these characteristics won't always lead one to the best manufacturer for the job, they can go a long way to showing if the company will go the extra mile for the whole project. How long will the firm take until final delivery of the order? Will that capability fit the time schedule for the job? These are additional points to consider.
The main point to weigh when choosing a PCB manufacturer is if they can do the entire job. Perhaps the job has certain intricacies; it's important to know upfront if the PCB firm can handle all of these, or if their network can assist, if necessary. Asking for references like one would do when buying anything else, is a necessity. Let the PCB firm point to other jobs they have done to prove their capabilities.
Choosing a PCB manufacturing firm doesn't have to be a difficult task. In fact there are a number of electronics forums on the Internet that can provide advice. The main points to keep in mind when choosing a printed circuit board contractor are: Do they offer a full range of capabilities? Can they quote quickly? How fast can they turn out prototypes? Do they have a network that they can draw from to ensure any size run can be completed? Finding the answers to these questions can help ensure that the right choice is made when comparing PCB manufacturers.
