China PCB Manufacturers and Sourcing
1 resources tagged with "China Pcb"
China's PCB sector spans the full range — from quick-turn prototype shops in Shenzhen that ship 2-layer boards in 24–48 hours to listed high-volume suppliers running HDI and multilayer for major OEMs. Prototype pricing can start near $5–$30 for a small 2-layer batch, but unit economics and reliability diverge sharply at volume, where you care about IPC class, controlled impedance, and consistent copper weight. The key checks before committing are real certifications (ISO 9001, UL marking on the laminate) and matching the shop's actual capability to your stack-up.
Sourcing PCBs means matching the fab to the job: a cheap prototype house is wrong for a certified production run, and a high-volume plant is overkill for ten boards. The pitfall is judging on quoted price alone — board reliability shows up in field failures, not the invoice.

FAQ
How much does a PCB cost from China?
Small 2-layer prototype batches can start around $5–$30; volume pricing depends on layer count, board size, finish, and impedance control. HDI and high-layer-count boards cost substantially more.
What should I verify in a China PCB manufacturer?
ISO 9001, UL recognition on the laminate, the IPC class they actually build to, and whether their stated capability (layer count, min trace/space, impedance control) matches your design. Order a small sample run before committing volume.
