One-stop PCB & PCBA services from China
PCB fabrication, PCB assembly, component sourcing and production files, plus testing and shipping: take one service or all of them, coordinated as one job by one engineer.
PCB fabrication
Single-sided, double-sided and multilayer rigid boards, prototypes to production, built at partner factories matched to your stack-up, quantity and finish.
- Single-sided, double-sided and multilayer rigid FR-4 boards
- Prototype and production quantities
- Finishes: immersion gold (ENIG), HASL, OSP, gold fingers
- Solder mask: green, blue, red, white or black
- 100% AOI and electrical test on every bare board
- See Capabilities for numbers
PCB assembly (PCBA)
SMT and through-hole assembly, turnkey (I source the parts) or consigned (you supply parts). Bare board and assembly coordinated as one job.
- SMT and through-hole assembly
- Turnkey (parts sourced for you) or consigned / partial kits
- Post-soldering of through-hole and odd-form parts
- Bare board, parts and assembly coordinated as one order
Component sourcing
BOM checked line by line for availability, lifecycle and package. Parts bought and kitted with the bare boards; alternatives proposed for approval, never swapped silently.
- BOM scrub: availability, lifecycle, package and value mismatches
- Parts bought and kitted together with the bare boards
- Alternatives proposed for your approval; no silent substitutions
- Partial kits: you supply some parts, I source the rest
PCB production files, layout & DFM
Production-ready Gerber, drill, BOM and pick-and-place files, layout from your schematic, revisions of existing designs and DFM fixes in Altium.
- Production-ready package: Gerber RS-274X, drill, BOM and pick-and-place / centroid
- Layout from your schematic or netlist (Altium)
- Revisions of existing designs: re-spin, outline or connector changes, footprint fixes
- DFM fixes for a specific factory process, with a written issue list
- Free DFM / Gerber review with every quote
- I work from your circuit design; new schematic design from scratch is not part of the service
Testing & inspection
100% AOI and flying-probe or automated electrical test on bare boards, inspection of assembled boards, and functional testing to your procedure.
- Bare boards: 100% AOI, flying-probe or automated electrical test, final QC
- Assembled boards inspected before shipping
- Functional testing to your instructions when you supply a test procedure
- Photos of your boards on request
Packing & shipping
Boards packed for transit and shipped from China by express courier, or through your own forwarder or courier account.
- International express courier from China
- Or your own forwarder or courier account
- Tracking number sent on dispatch
- Repeat orders reuse the approved files and settings
Old board renewal
Replacement boards for older equipment: new bare PCBs or assembled PCBA built from the Gerber, drawings or BOM you have, with obsolete parts identified and alternatives proposed for your approval.
What I don't do
- New circuit / schematic design from scratch (I work from your design)
- Promising specs or prices before your files have been reviewed
From files to boards at your door, and you can start at any stage
Hand me the whole job, or only the part you need: just production files, just bare boards, assembly with parts you supply, or turnkey PCBA from Gerber and BOM. The same engineer follows it either way.
Production files
Gerber, drill, BOM and pick-and-place prepared or checked; layout revisions and DFM fixes.
PCB fabrication
Bare boards built at a partner factory matched to your stack-up, finish and quantity.
Component sourcing
BOM checked line by line; parts bought and kitted, alternatives only with your approval.
SMT & THT assembly
Surface-mount and through-hole assembly, turnkey or with your consigned parts.
Testing & inspection
100% AOI and electrical test on bare boards, assembly inspection, functional test to your procedure.
Packing & shipping
Packed for transit and shipped by express courier or through your own forwarder.
- Only files? I prepare and check them
- Only bare boards? Send Gerber
- Have parts? Consigned assembly
- Everything? Turnkey PCBA
Have a PCB or PCBA job? Hand me any part of it, or all of it.
Send your Gerber and BOM, or whatever you have so far. I check it for manufacturability and reply by e-mail with questions and a free quote.
