Yes,we test the bare PCBs .All prototypes and medium volume order PCBs are tested using flying probe testers. Custom designed and manufactured fixtures (also called bed of nails) are used for large production runs. E-test costs are included in the prices you quoted online.

We prefer to accept Gerber RS-274X and NC drill files which is our standard manufacturing format PCB files . Please archive all your files into a ZIP/RAR file for uploading. For multi-layer boards please indicate the layer sequence information in a txt file. If you are using these design tools, and have …

Yes, you can use imperial units in your design. But please note that we work in metric units. This means we will convert your dimension to metric with the nearest available metric value.

We recommend GC-Prevue and Gerbv as Gerber viewer to manufacturing data. Try GC-Prevue from Graphicode which is free of charge. It will allow you to check the Gerber and drill data. For Linux customers, please use Gerbv which can run on many common Unix platforms.

The hole size (contained in your Gerber file) is assumed as the finished hole diameters after plating. The tolerance of size is +/-0.08mm.

The standard 1.6mm thickness 4-layer PCB stack-up is as below (from top to bottom): 1oz copper (0.035mm) + 7628Prepreg(0.1778mm) + 1.2mm core board + 7628Prepreg(0.1778mm) + 1oz copper(0.035mm). The tolerance of the finished thickness is +/-0.1mm. We can also offer 4 layer PCBs with thicknesses of 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 2.0mm and …

Yes. We allow a maximum of two circuits to be put on the same panel without any extra charge.  Put multiple PCB together and run them as one PANEL PCB .These two circuits can be the same design or different. Any of them should not be larger than 80x80mm. These …

The minimum distance between the boards on the panel is Zero, if you use V-score between the circuits/boards. However, if you like to use stamp holes (also called mouse bite) between them please leave at least 3mm’s gap.

While the single circuit board can be up to 500mm x 500mm, the maximum panel size we allow is 230mm x 310mm.

We consider the lead time as the period of time between order confirmation and order arrival (manufacturing time + shipping time). We have options of between 5 and 11 working days for prototype orders. Example: An order placed on Monday with 5 working days’ lead time, payment made and accepted, …
