What types of PCBs can Cir-Q-Tek manufacture?
Cir-Q-Tek manufactures single-sided, double-sided, multilayer, rigid, and flexible printed circuit boards. Capabilities include multilayers up to 40 layers, blind and buried vias, impedance control, laser-drilled holes down to .0039 inches, and .0025-inch line and spacing. The team can support prototype builds as well as ongoing production quantities for a range of electronic applications.
How quickly can you produce a PCB prototype?
Pre-production and prototype PCB samples generally take three days to build and two days to ship. Production manufacturing orders are generally ready to ship in 10 days to four weeks, depending on board complexity, material selection, layer count, quantities, and required finishes. Providing complete manufacturing files early helps keep quoting and production coordination efficient.
What files are needed to request a PCB quote?
For PCB and PCBA quotations, Cir-Q-Tek requires a Gerber package or ODB file and a bill of materials (BOM). Complete, current files allow the team to review fabrication requirements, component needs, and manufacturing details accurately. Including specifications for quantity, layer stackup, finishes, testing, and delivery expectations can further streamline the quotation process.
Can Cir-Q-Tek support multilayer and high-density PCB designs?
Yes. Cir-Q-Tek supports multilayer PCB designs up to 40 layers and offers technologies suited to dense, complex layouts. Available capabilities include laser direct imaging, blind and buried vias, impedance control, laser-drilled holes, and fine .0025-inch line and spacing. These options help support demanding signal-routing, space, and performance requirements in advanced electronic products.
Are your PCB manufacturing processes certified for medical and automotive projects?
Cir-Q-Tek works with ISO 9001-certified facilities and also holds ISO 13485 certification for medical device manufacturing and IATF 16949 certification for automotive manufacturing requirements. The company is also UL and cUL approved. Customers should provide product-specific compliance and documentation requirements during quoting so the appropriate manufacturing controls can be coordinated.
Do you offer RoHS-compliant PCB options?
Yes. Cir-Q-Tek offers RoHS-compliant bare boards and can support RoHS requirements for PCB assembly applications. Available surface-finish options include lead-free HAL, ENIG, immersion silver, immersion tin, and OSP. Because compliance requirements vary by product and market, customers should identify applicable material, finish, and documentation needs when submitting their design package.
Can you handle both PCB fabrication and assembly?
Yes. Cir-Q-Tek provides integrated PCB fabrication and turnkey PCB assembly. Assembly capabilities include component purchasing, SMT processing, through-hole assembly, testing, box build, and packaging. Bringing these stages together can simplify supplier coordination, reduce handoffs, and provide a more unified path from a bare-board design to a completed electronic product.
How do you support component sourcing for PCB assemblies?
Cir-Q-Tek’s procurement team supports electronic component purchasing as part of its turnkey PCB assembly service. The team can also assist with sourcing obsolete, difficult-to-find parts and potential equivalents. A clear BOM with manufacturer part numbers, approved alternates, quantities, and any customer-supplied component details helps enable accurate sourcing review and assembly planning.
