Ordering, lead time, files and IP

No MOQ. Orders start at 1 piece and run to 10,000 and beyond, and a 5-piece validation build uses the same nine SMT lines, the same 3D AOI gate and the same 3,072-point ICT programme as a series order.

We quote two clocks, because material is the variable. With material in hand, bare boards run 24 hours for 2 layers up to 50 pieces under 1 m², 5 days for 2 and 4 layers under 1 m² with a 48-hour expedite, 7 days for 6 and 8 layers and 10 days for 10 layers and above; PCBA runs 10-15 days, or 5-7 days expedited, and a 50-unit order is typically 3-5 days of sourcing, 4-7 days of fabrication and 2-3 days of assembly and test.

With material still to be sourced, add the 2026 market: standard FR-4 laminate runs 6-8 weeks, MLCCs 20-50+ weeks and automotive MCUs or FPGAs 52+ weeks. Locking long-lead parts early is the single biggest lever on your delivery date.

Within 24 hours, and the reply carries DFM feedback rather than a price on its own. The DFM review before the purchase order is free, so a rule-7 legend conflict or a missing fiducial is caught before it becomes a change order.

Yes, because nothing changes between the two: the same nine SMT lines, 3D SPI before placement, 3D AOI on 100% of boards, X-ray on a minimum of 5 boards per batch and ICT at 3,072 points or flying probe with 4 heads. The first article is reported with photographs, and each production run is compared against it.

Gerber RS-274X or X2, ODB++ or IPC-2581 for the full data set, Excellon drill files, a BOM in Excel or CSV and pick-and-place data in CPL or CSV, plus your stackup and impedance requirements and a DXF or DWG of the mechanical outline. Native CAD files are not required.

Yes. Before any file transfer, and we can sign an NDA agreement covering non-use, non-disclosure and non-circumvention. Your data is not shared with other customers and is never used to build for another buyer. Production follows export-control-aware procedures with documented denied-party screening.
