Five Questions You Must Ask a Custom Flex Pcb Manufacturer

Printed circuit board manufacturers are not difficult to find. Why? Because the utility of the PCBs has increased with the new-age prototyping techniques and assembly services. But can you rely on any service provider when it comes to ordering the Custom Flex Pcb? Maybe not. Not only do you need to research the company’s experience, but you need to talk to the manufacturers. Following are the top five questions, that you must ask to stay assured of their service quality and PCB utility. 

 

  • What material do they use?


The material with which the manufacturers develop the PCB layers determines if the unit will work rightly or not. There are companies that use substandard raw materials in making the boards. It may not be problematic at the beginning but such PCBs do not serve for long. As a result, you do not find an item that assures longevity. Ask them to provide you with a detailed list of raw materials and their source which they use in making the boards. 


  • Is the team well experienced?


Whether manufacturing custom or Rigid Flex Pcb, the team has to be experienced. Without experience, you cannot vouch for expertise. A team of professionals with years of making similar boards can only ensure the right design. Also, having separate testing steps led by professional PCB experts helps bring the best circuit boards for your requirement. 


  • What is their specialization?


Not every PCB manufacturer only serves in one service domain. The one that you should consider should have a design, manufacturing, and assembly service. It helps you get a cost-effective service as you get a one-stop solution for PCB requirements under one service provider. 


  • Which industries have they served?


Check the client base to ensure that the manufacturer has a high reputation in the market. It is better to ask the manufacturers about the industries they have served through their client network. As PCBs are currently an indispensable part of almost all industries, you must ask this question to evaluate the service capacity. 


  • What about the certifications?


Lastly, ask them about their testing steps and certifications. PCBs require industrial certifications that prove their usability and other specifications. Review the certificates thoroughly to ensure that the service provider is genuine. 

 

Concluding note

 

Keep these five questions in mind alongside asking them about their prices. Find the right balance between service and pricing to ensure a cost-effective deal.
