What To Look For In A PCB Supplier

We know that every requirement isn’t the same but you should be getting a service that produce robust PCB’s on time and on budget. we appreciate that customers have specific needs they have to factor in when choosing a PCB supplier so here’s several things you need to consider when sourcing .

Check the company track record

Making sure you find a PCB supplier with a good track record is vital if you not only want to stay in business but want to look after your customer base.

Certifications and accreditations

Checking that the supplier invests in the correct quality procedures is very important. Ask what procedures and standards the supplier implements.

Quotations

When getting a quote, a reliable PCB supplier will take time to give you a quote as they will perform an in-depth review of the design. Experience and know how is also vital. Please note that the speed of quote is important in many ways – Yes, if the quote comes back very fast it may be the case not enough time has been taken to work out the job in prospect but on the other hand a slow response can be a precursor for what is to come, a slow and lethargic delivery.

Your lead time will dictate how long you can wait for a quote but ideally, 24 hours should be ample time for most quotes to be achieved.

Delivery Time

Do the timescales enable you to meet your obligations? How quickly will the PCB supplier complete your order?

Check if the timescales that have been delivered to you are from when the designs have been completed or since the day the designs were requested. If it’s the former, lead times will need to be added to from date of design completion.

Capacity and Capability

Will the order be completed on time, even if it’s a large quantity order?

And will they be able to meet your specifications as to the right substrates, finish, number of layers and correct copper thickness.

PCB suppliers who build long term and genuine relationships with customers will be happy to talk through the design with customers and give you an idea of what works best.
