PCB Contract Manufacturing and Assembly Services

PCB manufacturing cost is driven by board size, layer count, material, quantity, trace and spacing requirements, hole types, surface finish, testing, and turnaround time. Assembly pricing also reflects component availability, placement count, package complexity, and inspection needs. Cir-Q-Tek prepares project-specific quotes using a Gerber package or ODB file and bill of materials, helping identify the most cost-efficient manufacturing approach.

For PCB or PCBA quoting, Cir-Q-Tek requests a Gerber package or ODB file along with a bill of materials. These files allow the team to review board construction, fabrication requirements, component needs, and assembly scope. Providing accurate part numbers, quantities, revision details, approved alternates, and testing expectations helps produce a more complete quote and reduces delays once manufacturing begins.

Yes. Cir-Q-Tek supports small prototype orders as well as ongoing production quantities. Pre-production prototype samples generally take three days to build and two days to ship, while production orders are typically ready to ship in 10 days to four weeks. Timing depends on board complexity, material availability, component sourcing, testing requirements, and the selected manufacturing schedule.

Cir-Q-Tek manufactures single-sided, double-sided, multilayer, rigid, and flexible printed circuit boards. PCB capabilities include boards up to 40 layers, blind and buried vias, impedance control, laser-drilled holes, and fine line and spacing requirements. Available metallic finishes include HASL, lead-free HAL, ENIG, immersion silver, immersion tin, and OSP options, with RoHS-compliant bare boards available.

Turnkey PCB assembly can include PCB manufacturing, electronic component purchasing, SMT chip processing, through-hole assembly, testing, complete box-build assembly, and packaging. This coordinated model lets customers manage fabrication and assembly through a single source rather than separating suppliers. It is suitable for prototype builds, small batches, and production programs requiring consistent documentation, procurement, inspection, and delivery coordination.

Each SMT line includes automated optical inspection and X-ray equipment for inline quality verification. These tools help identify placement, solder, polarity, and hidden-joint concerns that can be difficult to evaluate visually, particularly on BGA and fine-pitch assemblies. Inspection is supported by ISO 9001 quality management practices, with ISO 13485 and IATF 16949 certifications available for applicable medical and automotive manufacturing requirements.

Yes. Cir-Q-Tek’s procurement team can assist with obsolete or hard-to-get components and can source equivalents where appropriate. The team evaluates availability as part of the manufacturing plan so customers can address supply risks before assembly begins. For best results, provide complete manufacturer part numbers, approved alternates, preferred sources, quantity requirements, and any traceability or compliance requirements.

Yes. Cir-Q-Tek supports medical, health-care, and automotive electronics manufacturing through facilities certified to ISO 13485 for medical device manufacturing and IATF 16949 for automotive requirements. ISO 9001 quality management certification provides an additional process foundation. Customers should share applicable drawings, specifications, test plans, traceability needs, and regulatory documentation during the quoting and project-planning stage.
