What PCB fabrication services does Cir-Q-Tek provide?
Cir-Q-Tek produces single-sided, double-sided, rigid, flexible, and multilayer printed circuit boards, including boards with up to 40 layers. Available capabilities include blind and buried vias, impedance control, laser-drilled holes, laser direct imaging, RoHS-compliant bare boards, and finishes such as ENIG, immersion silver, immersion tin, HASL, and OSP. Gerber or ODB files and a bill of materials are required for quoting.
Do you provide turnkey PCB assembly services?
Yes. Cir-Q-Tek provides turnkey PCB assembly that can include PCB manufacturing, electronic component purchasing, SMT processing, through-hole assembly, testing, complete box-build assembly, packaging, and delivery. This integrated approach gives customers one point of coordination from board fabrication through finished product preparation, reducing handoffs across multiple suppliers and simplifying manufacturing logistics.
Can you build PCB prototypes as well as production orders?
Yes. Cir-Q-Tek supports small prototype orders as well as production quantities and does not reject orders based on quantity. Pre-production or prototype samples generally take three days to build and two days to ship. Production manufacturing orders are typically ready to ship in 10 days to four weeks, depending on the board design, components, quantity, and required processes.
What types of components can your SMT lines assemble?
Cir-Q-Tek’s SMT capabilities support very small and complex packages, including 01005 components, BGA packages with 0.2 mm spacing, QFN, and CSP devices. Each SMT line includes automated optical inspection and X-ray equipment for inline inspection. Through-hole assembly is also available, enabling mixed-technology boards to be manufactured through one coordinated service.
Which quality certifications support PCB assembly manufacturing?
Cir-Q-Tek works with facilities certified to ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 13485 for medical device manufacturing, and IATF 16949 for automotive manufacturing requirements. The manufacturing team also holds UL and cUL approvals and ISO 14001 certification. These credentials support customers with quality, regulatory, and traceability expectations in demanding applications.
What files do I need to request a PCB or PCBA quote?
For PCB fabrication and PCB assembly quotes, provide a Gerber package or ODB data along with a bill of materials. Clear, complete data allows the team to review board construction, component requirements, quantities, and assembly needs accurately. Including any special requirements—such as testing, surface finish, controlled impedance, packaging, or delivery schedule—helps create a more complete quotation.
Can Cir-Q-Tek source obsolete or hard-to-find electronic components?
Yes. Cir-Q-Tek’s procurement team can source obsolete or hard-to-get components and identify equivalents when appropriate. Component availability, lifecycle status, approved alternates, and lead times should be reviewed early in the project to avoid production delays. Coordinating sourcing with board fabrication and assembly through one provider can help improve visibility across the complete build.
What happens if delivered parts do not meet requirements?
Cir-Q-Tek offers a defect replacement policy at no additional cost for non-compliant parts. Customers should document the issue and relevant requirements so the team can review the concern promptly. Its quality approach combines certified processes, automated assembly inspection, and project coordination to help prevent nonconformities before shipment while providing support if an issue is identified.
