What is it?

A PCB (printed circuit board) is the flat green (or other colour) board that holds and connects the electronic parts in your product. PCB fabrication makes the bare board from your design files (called Gerber files): copper layers, holes and the protective coating, with no components yet. Shenzhen can turn simple boards around in a day or two.

Design tips (DFM: designing so it's easy to make)

  1. 01Check the fab's capabilities (min trace/space, drill size) before layout
  2. 02Run their DFM check before ordering
  3. 03Specify impedance control if you need it
  4. 04Panelize for assembly if you're also ordering PCBA

Common questions

Online platform or local shop?

Platforms are fast and cheap for standard specs; local shops help with complex stack-ups and engineering questions.

Can I get flex boards quickly?

Yes, many Shenzhen fabs offer quick-turn FPC.
