Why PCBWay is the best PCB Assembly Manufacturer?

As an electronic engineers, we often run into a situation: you have a new idea and designed the circuit schematic, but feel overwhelmed if prototype, purchase components, and assembly by ourselves. Considering everyone’s needs, here we recommend the most suitable PCB Assembly Company —PCBWay. PCBWay is a Chinese manufacturer with over ten years experience in PCB prototype and assembly service. They have helped so many electronics engineers assemble projects. Their excellent service wins wide reputation from all over word engineers. The following are a few reasons why we recommend PCBWay Assembly Service.

Fast and easy PCB fabrication with JLCPCB

Established in 2006, JLCPCB is the earliest PCB factory focusing prototype and small-batch production in China. More than 350,000+ worldwide customers enjoy the fast and easy PCB  fabrication service on JLCPCB. JLCPCB make a video for helping more customers and engineers learn about how to make a 2-layer PCBs in the factory and every step of the process, from Production, Quality Control to Shipping. Building any sort of electronics project is a multi-step process that involve creating a circuit, testing it, creating PCB, soldering, and checking if everything works as planned. All these steps take significant time, but manufacturing PCB involves some waiting period until board arrives. Of course, you can try to make PCB prototype by yourself, but this process is messy and requires special tools like UV lamps. Today probably every hobbyist is ordering PCBs online with guarantee of getting professionally looking product. There are many PCB fab houses that offer excellent services. They are wary of offering different pricings, turnaround times, and board varieties. Recently I had a great experience with JLCPCB fabrication house. As a hobbyist, I am looking for a…

Ultraviolet light box for PCB exposure

Probably everyone electronics hobbyist is dreaming about fast PCB prototyping method. Some of you are just ordering professionally made PCBs, that is not always worth of cost; other are using an easier way – The laser printer toner transfer technique, which is not very accurate; the third option is more advanced – ultraviolet light exposure of photo-resist coated PCB through film mask. This gives pretty good quality at a reasonable price and doesn’t take much time.   The main thing that is necessary and expensive – the ultraviolet light source that is needed to expose a sensitive layer of PCB coating. You can buy light source, or as a hobbyist, you can build one. Scienceprog has published an excellent project on how to build an Ultraviolet light source. It uses 8x20W light tubes that give a total 80W for one side. So the exposure time is just three and half minutes. The device can be used for double-sided PCB exposure. And can produce a large number PCBs at once. Probably many of you may not need such a big device,…
