PCB Prototyping and Quick Turn Assembly

Creating functional and refined product prototypes is a process that requires an efficient, skilled, and easily reachable partner. No matter what stage you are in the process, we can help. If you are in the earlier stages, creating a prototype will assist you in making an informed choice regarding your product. Or maybe you are looking to launch a product through a crowdfunding campaign as a way to supplement manufacturing costs. We recognize that every business’ objective is different, which is why we offer the following:

  • Full turnkey, no min/max build quantity assembly
  • Prototype assembly in 24 hours (or sometimes even less!)
  • Components selection including obsolescence planning
  • First article inspection (FAI)
  • Design for manufacturing feedback
  • Fully supported and stocked Octoparts CPL (Common Parts Library)

At Circuits Central, we understand the importance that prototyping plays in getting your design finalized and ready for large volume production. We value the process, which is why we make sure your prototypes are manufactured economically, efficiently, and with the level of detail and oversight that large volume productions are given.

To learn more about our printed circuit board prototyping services, speak to us today by calling 1 (888) 602-7264, filling out our contact form, or sending us an email at info@circuits-central.com. Make sure to have the following documents and information ready for a quick response:

  • Bills of Materials (BOM)
  • PCB Gerber or ODB++ files
  • Quantity you like to build

Prototyping Benefits

Initial Testing

Low Volume and Prototype assembly is used to test components and circuit design in hopes of detecting problems early. Prototypes allow engineers to check the functionality of the boards at an early stage, analyze any problems and make the required changes to get the product ready for high volume production

Reduce Cost

Detecting problems during the prototype stage is easier and less costly to fix than during the production stage.

Time Saving

Without prototyping, problems that could occur later during manufacturing or testing are not caught which will resulting in unnecessary and costly delays.

Efficient high volume manufacturing and final product

With most of the problems identified and solved at the prototype stage, the final product will be more efficient to manufacture and produce. Circuits Central provides free Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reporting at the end of the prototype run to aide in streamlining high volume production.

Prototyping and Quick Turn Assembly FAQs

  • What is the importance of Quick Turn Prototyping?
    • With quick time-to-market being a big source of competitive advantage, it is important to make sure your prototypes are built with the same level of quality as standard turn assembled boards.
  • How fast can I get my prototypes assembled?
    • Circuits Central offers a 24 hour turn-around time for prototype or small batch assemblies.
  • Can you source small quantity of parts for my prototypes?
    • Absolutely! There is no quantity too small when it comes to prototyping.
  • How do you handle unused or MPQ parts?
    • At the end of the assembly, parts can be shipped to you or kept at our facility for future orders.
  • Do you offer BGA Assembly or Rework?
    • Certainly! Circuits Central has extensive expertise in dealing with BGA placement and rework.

BGA Reballing and Repair Services

BGA repair and rework can be for a variety of reasons: from overuse to faulty BGA components, as well as ineffective soldier joints and even changes to the engineering parts.

Re-balling is a particularly cost-effective solution as it typically prevents the need to replace the entire system. BGA re-balling allows for:

  • Reuse of already mounted BGAs for migration from an old revision PCB to a new revision.
  • Removal and replacement of a BGAs for testing
  • Repair of defects joints with either insufficient or excessive solder.
  • Repair of damaged or missing BGA pads or balls
  • X-Ray Inspection
