FAQ

PCB Prototyping Questions

What is PCB prototyping?

PCB prototyping is the process of manufacturing a small number of printed circuit boards to test a design before full production. It allows you to verify functionality, identify issues, and refine your product.

How long does PCB prototyping take?

Our assembly service takes 1-5 working days once PCBs arrive at our facility. Total lead time includes PCB manufacturing time + shipping + our assembly time. Contact us for current lead times.

What files do I need for a PCB prototype?

We need Gerber files (RS-274X), Bill of Materials (BoM), and centroid/placement files (Pick & Place). Optionally, assembly drawings help clarify special requirements.

Do you manufacture PCBs?

No, we specialise in PCB assembly only. You can source your PCBs from your preferred manufacturer and have them shipped directly to us, or we can recommend trusted partners.

What testing do you offer?

We offer basic testing including power on testing, firmware flashing, and functional verification. This ensures your prototype works correctly before delivery.
