What you can expect from our PCB design process
Before we connect with our design partners, we define your PCB design requirements by posing the following questions to you and your team:
What is the desired application for your PCB assembly?
What size of PCBA is required?
Is the PCBA intended to be connected to other parts of an embedded system?
What kind of environmental conditions will the PCB assembly be exposed to?
Next, we coordinate with our design partners to follow the defined steps of our design process:
Creating a Schematic
Once requirements are established, the designer will proceed to create a schematic diagram, encompassing the details of the PCB design. It will specify the components required, their positioning and interconnection. Additionally, the costing of materials, coupled with an assessment of their availability in the supply chain, will be comprehensively addressed during this stage.
Electronic PCB Design Automation Software
The intricacies specified in the schematic are diligently input into an electronic design automation software package. This sophisticated software then generates and compiles a comprehensive set of documents, commonly known as a Gerber or Computer-Aided Design (CAD) file. This carefully generated file serves as the definitive set of instructions for manufacturing your PCB assembly.
Select the Manufacturing Method
The choice of manufacturing method is contingent upon the initial requirements defined within the schematic, along with considerations for available materials, resources, project timelines, and production budget constraints.
Testing
Integral to the design process is the specification of the requisite tests required to verify your PCBA meets your desired design requirements. Employing a variety of testing techniques, we ensure that your PCB assembly will meet the performance standards expected.
