Do you support quick turnaround prototyping services?

Yes, we offer expedited prototyping for urgent needs. Our streamlined workflow, dedicated engineers, and advanced equipment enable rapid turnaround—24–72 hours for standard specs, varying by complexity (e.g., layers, materials).

Share your design files and requirements, and we’ll promptly provide a detailed quote and exact delivery schedule. Send us:sales@pcbcustom.com  

Could you confirm my files are secure?

Your files are maintained with complete safety and security. We safeguard our customers' intellectual property throughout the entire process, and all customer documents are never disclosed to third parties. A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) can also be signed to formalize this commitment.

What’s your MOQ?

We have no minimum order quantity (MOQ) requirement. With flexible production capabilities, we efficiently handle both small and large volume orders. Additionally, we operate one dedicated expedited prototyping lines to support rapid turnaround needs.

What service do you have?

We provide one-stop OEM services, including PCBA fabrication, PCB assembly, and component sourcing. Furthermore, we offer additional support such as programming, testing, cable supply, and enclosure assembly. More service pls ask our technical:sales@pcbcustom.com

What regular tests you do to ensure quality?

To ensure PCB quality, we typically conduct rigorous testing using methods such as flying probe testing, E-test, AOI inspection, power-on testing, X-ray inspection for BGA components, first article inspection (FAI), and manual inspection and LED lighting tests on the PCBA.  

Besides, Reliability testing is divided into aging testing, vibration testing, collision testing, drop testing, packaging pressure testing, etc. We have corresponding equipment to conduct tests.

1V1 project management​

We taking full responsibility for every customer while offering dedicated 1-on-1 technical team support throughout the pre-sales, in-sales, and after-sales stages. The meaning of one-on-one service is that each customer is served by a professional team of ours throughout the entire process: quotation, production, delivery, and after-sales service. You only need to communicate your requirement with us and we will handle everything for you. Send your inquiry: sales@pcbcustom.com

Do you offer firmware uploading to the IC and functional testing?

If your project require programming and functional testing before delivery, our project manager will follow your instruction and the testing workers will be trained to familiar with all steps. And we are proficient in the design of customized functional testers and the production of fixtures.

All programming and testing steps process will be confirmed with you via videos, CJ team will make sure all of your instructions will be listen and followed and our goal is make sure your PCBA 100% pass the test. All defective issues and reasons will be recorded and share with you for further improving action.

PCB FAQ

What software do you use to view Gerber data?

CAM350/Altium Designer/Genesis2000//PADS/GC-power.

Will our PCB files be checked(before production)?

Our company's engineering team offers free DFM analysis. All data will be reviewed and confirmed after production. If there are any issues, an EQ confirmation will be issued.

What is checked during the E-Test?

The electrical testing of PCBS mainly involves checking whether there are any open or short circuit issues on the PCB board and analyzing whether it matches the customer's design

What are the CTI-value of different base materials?

CTI stands for Tracking Index, which is the voltage at which marks are left on the surface of a board when it leaks and burns. For conventional FR4 boards, the CTI value is PLC3, that is, 175<CTI<245.

Can your PCB thickness tolerance be strictly controlled to 0.1mm?

For finished plate thickness less than 1mm, it can be controlled at +/-0.1mm. For finished plate thickness greater than 1mm, the strictest control can be +/-0.13mm. Normally, it is controlled at +/-10%. (Because the plates and materials such as pp have certain tolerances, and the chip tolerance close to +/-0.075mm).

Electronic Component FAQs

What is your component procurement channel? How to ensure the quality and whether they are original? Would you use equivalent/alternative components?

Our company's procurement channels include spot platforms such as Digikey, Mouser, and Ickey, as well as our trusted supplier channels. Our company will make purchases based on the qualifications and advantages of component suppliers. Additionally, we have IPQC to conduct incoming parts inspections, and we will also check the supply channels of each batch of incoming parts to ensure that the goods are original. If alternative materials are needed, our company will confirm with the customer.

Could you provide the RoHS certificates and the LOT number for every batch components?

Sure. If the customer has the need, our company will keep a record of the incoming parts and send the RoHS certification and batch number to the customer.

What measures will you take to help customers solve the cost increase caused by the shortage of components?

First, our purchasing team will check the best prices in stock in the market and offer to customers, as well as suggestions for booking futures. Meanwhile, our engineering team will provide some alternative solutions for customers' reference, and we will also contact the original factory to offer some alternative solutions.

How do you handle and storage the components when arriving?

We will classify and store components according to the types. Important components such as IC will be placed in dedicated drying ovens, while other regular materials will be properly labeled and stored in the warehouse.
