What production buyers ask us about
Whether you need 100 boards or 10,000, the questions are the same: will they be right, will they be the same next time, when do they ship, and what do they cost all-in.
Quality
Registered to ISO 9001:2015, with documented, audited processes and Navy-certified soldering expertise. Every board gets 100% electrical testing before it ships.
Repeatability
You approve a pre-production qualification build before the first run, and every run after it follows the same written process, with in-process verification and statistical process control. Supplier quality is managed under the same system.
Lead time
Quotes within one business day. Production runs typically ship in 3–6 weeks, prototypes in 1–3, depending on parts, with expedited options. No ocean freight, no customs.
Total cost
A free DFM review with every quote catches problems before they cost money. Parts are priced through our supplier network, and assembly, test, coating and packaging come from one vendor on one purchase order.
What to send for a quote
Send what you have; we’ll ask for anything missing. Want an NDA first? Tick the box on the quote form.
- Gerber files, or ODB++ / IPC-2581
- Bill of materials, with manufacturer part numbers
- Pick-and-place file, the centroid / XY data
- Assembly drawing, and any special notes
- Test requirements, if you have them
- Quantities to price, for example 100, 250 and 500
