1. Industry Proficiency and Abilities
You will have to select a PCB manufacturer who provides the types of PCB you need. Other parameter to be kept in mind like proficiency, abilities, facilities, highly equipped technology and other instrument, human resources, standards/certification, location, testing lab with R & D set up etc.
You wouldn’t search a shop that initially does single-sided, double-sided, and low layer count PCBs to manufacture your 24-layer backplane PCB manufacturer!
Be assured that your need match up with the supplier.
2. Products with Quality / Standard Certifications
Qualitative product is one of the most essential parameters to keep in mind when selecting a PCB manufacturer. First, you must review the PCB manufacturer’s Quality Management System (QMS).Depending upon your need assessment; you can look forward to your manufacturer to be ISO 9001 certified at least.ISO Certification primarily indicates that a basic QMS exists. Some examples are quality policy, SOP implementation, effective and preventive actions, continuous assessment, and employee re training.
3. On-time Delivery
Be assured that the PCB manufacturer you finalize has a performance data record and they can convey precise lead time and dispatch within that lead time. The accomplishment of your project is highly dependent on those results.
4. Cost
The cost of PCB manufacturing is dependent on many different parameters.
Source: India or abroad
Abroad sources are supposed to be cheaper but come with other parameters considered like longer delivery time, high logistic costs, linguistic problem for communication..
An Indian source is high – priced but if you find the suitable source locally, you could have benefit of least delivery time, minimum transportation cost, and you may visit the source also.
PCB Technology
The technology of PCB is an important factor of overall costing. Some high priced examples are; Complex Rigid-Flex and High layer count (14+) PCBs.
- Order volume and delivery time needed
- Material type
- Documentation precision
- Real environmental testing needs
- Skilled human resources
