Quick Turn PCB Tips

Every quick-turn PCB request is different in terms of technology, delivery requirements, and volume of parts needed. If you need a small quantity of 2-layer PCBs there are many Internet-based companies that can get you these parts very quickly and very inexpensively. However, here at Benchuang Electronics, we focus on more complex PCBs that require 100% absolute quality and consistency throughout the entire life of the development and into production. Truly understanding the technology that we are producing and the physical requirements to manufacture that specific PCB will ensure that you get a delivery date that you can plan on. A few common definitions:

Prototypes PCB

There are many different varieties of PCB Prototypes. Every project starts with quickly getting a PCB so that you test out your concept. Many times, the PCB designer isn’t even finished with the design when they submit Gerber data for production and have to use jumpers on the board when they get it – fast and cheap work.

However, if you are producing prototypes for testing on form, fit, and function and need to understand how all of the electronics will work with each other that is a different level of quality that is needed in your PCB. This is when you need to work with your PCB fabricator so that we can perform our rigorous design rule checks to ensure that your prototypes will be of the same quality as your production.

Pre-Production or Beta Run PCBs

In this case, this is when a customer is going to test out their production process or send units into the field or need many units for reliability testing. This is usually anywhere from 100 to several thousand pieces so the PCB fabricator needs to have the capacity to run all these production panels. Too often what happens when a customer’s goes from prototype to pre-production is that they run into issues as many things tend to change when you work with different companies. Laminate, multilayer stack ups, drill sizes, and many others can cause issues for customers.

In Benchuang Electronics’s case, we seamlessly move from prototype into pre-production as all of our factories use the same materials and the same Gerber data that we developed for the first run so that you will see no change in the product. Delivery times can be anywhere from 2 days up to our standard delivery of 15 days.

Production Quick Turn PCB

We usually see customers need higher volume quick-turns for emergency orders from customers or when a supplier can’t deliver. At Benchuang Electronics, we have the facilities that have the capacity and the experience of producing high-volume PCBs in very short lead times, and because we have already CAM’d the Gerber data, you will see no delay in production getting started.

What is a prototype PCB?

Printed circuit board prototypes are used across all areas of the consumer and industrial electronics industries. A PCB prototyping stage helps confirm that a circuit design will work as intended once the components are soldered in place on a real board. In short, a circuit board prototype provides a robust pre-production proof of concept.

A prototype PCB is often a simpler, more basic version of a finished production board, typically offering fewer advanced features and design flourishes. However, it needs to be an accurate, high quality and fully functional test version of the finalised circuit. At this stage, prototype PCB assembly should mirror the basic design, function and component load-out of the finished production run as closely as possible.

Mistakes or oversights at this stage can prove costly if not corrected before moving on to the full batch PCB manufacturing stage, so it’s extremely important to get your PCB prototyping done right. Fast turnaround circuit board prototypes are also of huge value to our clients: the earlier in the process we can observe and correct any potential issues, the more time and money you’ll save on delivery of the finished product.

What’s involved in delivering a PCB prototype?

Developing prototype circuit boards and component layout is a way of checking for bugs and issues on a ‘live’ working model of your design. It’s often used as a follow-up stage to a solderless breadboard version, although a skilled engineer will be perfectly capable of producing an accurate circuit board prototype from the raw data files. Breadboard circuit tests use clip-in components to test the basic layout and behaviour of a circuit under current. Whether or not you’re using breadboards as part of the overall design process, they’re not seen as a sufficiently robust test on their own. In order to move forward to the full PCB manufacturing stage with confidence, you’ll first need to produce a properly assembled and soldered prototype. Prototyping should always be overseen by an experienced technician who knows exactly what they’re doing. It’s a vital step in the delivery of a full production run for a completed bespoke PCB project, but it’s often a step that needs to be completed to a tight deadline.

Why might clients need a fast PCB prototyping service?

There are a number of reasons a client may want a printed circuit board prototype delivered quickly after finalising their circuit design. These can include:

Peace of mind at every phase of a project, and especially prior to moving forward with a finalised design to the full batch production stage
Reduced development timelines, helping lower overall project cost while also speeding up your time to market
Pressing deadlines – these can come either from customers for faster product supply, or to meet tight booking and shipping timescales for upcoming industry showcases

Prototype PCB Assembly

Prototype PCB Assembly In 4 Steps

Having PCB prototypes made is a part of the best practices approach to product design. Using prototypes plays an essential and cost-effective way to capture and identify design issues before potentially large investment and expense of production.

Our No minimum quantity prototype services include:

Getting your product to market is essential if you want to stay ahead of your competition and generate much-needed revenues. But before selling your products, you need to get a sense of confidence in your PCB assembly – a proof of concept to evaluate your PCB design before proceeding with production.

Considering the time constraints that exist, the PCB prototype phase has to be completed quickly because a lot depends on it. And, often more than one prototype build needs to be done before all design issues have been resolved. This could get very expensive and consume valuable time.

Fast Turn PCB Manufacturer

Quickly getting your electronic product to market isn’t just a question of getting a PCB that is “good enough” quickly, it’s also about producing that product at scale throughout the rest of the process.

That's where printed circuit board fabrication experience and true manufacturing capabilities become critically important. It's not enough for a PCB manufacturer to just deliver low-quality and low-cost prototype circuit boards. To reach the market quickly you need, a PCB manufacturing partner who is able to produce at all of the different development stages with consistency and at a competitive cost while still meeting short turnaround timelines.

The fact of the matter is that many PCB manufacturers may be capable of producing high-quality PCBs at a small-scale or in large volumes, but no one can do both. From prototype to beta builds, pre-production and into full production, you need a circuit board partner that will be with you all the way to ensure that your product sees no variation in its construction.
