Advanced Pcb Solutions for Modern Manufacturing

Cir-Q-Tek provides rigid and flexible PCB fabrication, quick-turn prototypes, production PCB manufacturing, and turnkey printed circuit board assembly. Assembly support can include component purchasing, SMT processing, through-hole assembly, testing, box build assembly, and packaging. The company also supports related manufacturing needs such as wire harnesses, precision machining, castings, and injection-molded components.

For PCB and PCBA quotes, Cir-Q-Tek requests a Gerber package or ODB file and a bill of materials (BOM). Providing complete fabrication notes, stackup requirements, quantities, target delivery dates, and assembly or testing instructions can help define the project accurately. Complete documentation also helps the team identify cost-efficient manufacturing practices and prepare a more useful quote.

Cir-Q-Tek states that pre-production and prototype samples generally take three days to build and two days to ship. Timing can vary with board complexity, material availability, required finishes, panelization, documentation completeness, and any assembly requirements. Production manufacturing orders are generally ready to ship in 10 days to four weeks, depending on the program’s specifications and volume.

Yes. PCB capabilities include multilayer boards up to 40 layers, blind and buried vias, impedance control, laser-drilled holes down to .0039 inches, and line and spacing down to .0025/.0025 inches. Cir-Q-Tek also offers laser direct imaging and several metallic finish options, supporting designs that require dense routing, controlled electrical performance, or intricate features.

Yes. Cir-Q-Tek’s assembly facilities are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 13485 for medical device manufacturing, and IATF 16949 for automotive manufacturing requirements. These certifications support documented quality management for demanding applications. Customers should provide applicable product specifications, inspection requirements, traceability needs, and regulatory documentation during the quotation and project-planning stages.

Cir-Q-Tek’s procurement team can source obsolete, hard-to-get, and equivalent components for PCB assembly applications. Component availability should be reviewed early because lead times, approved manufacturer lists, lifecycle status, and substitutions can affect cost and production timing. Sharing a current BOM with manufacturer part numbers, quantities, and approved alternates enables a more effective sourcing review.

Each SMT line includes automated optical inspection (AOI) and X-ray equipment for inline automated inspection. These tools help inspect component placement and solder-related conditions, particularly on compact assemblies that include packages such as BGA, QFN, CSP, and 01005 components. Additional testing or inspection requirements should be specified with the project documentation so they can be incorporated into the manufacturing plan.

Yes. Cir-Q-Tek supports small prototype orders as well as production quantities and states it has not turned down PCB orders based on quantity. This flexibility allows teams to validate a design before scaling. Requirements, board complexity, material selection, assembly scope, and delivery goals will influence the recommended production approach, schedule, and quoted cost.
