Tips for Reducing the Cost of Circuit Boards
- Choose the right size for your board - Last week we discussed the importance of simplified board design: a cluttered board is expensive to manufacture. However, you must also take the overall size of the board into consideration: a larger footprint means a larger price tag. But if your board is too small, the components will be packed close together, requiring a higher degree of precision from the manufacturing machinery and lengthening the manufacturing process. The best boards find the Goldilocks solution: not too big, not too small.
- Never compromise on your materials - It can be tempting to save money by using cheaper materials, but remember that "cheap" often means inferior quality. Cheap materials mean more breakdowns and higher warranty costs, often losing you more money in the end. You will never regret choosing the best component at the best price.
- Choose certified manufacturers - Selecting a certified New York PCB assembly service means you have the assurance they are properly certified and using up-to-date equipment. It is important to know your boards are being assembled in accordance with industry standards, which is why so many companies are choosing U.S. based services.
- Rapid prototype delivery - Choosing one contract electronic assembly service for both prototype and normal production runs is far more time and cost-effective than hiring a separate third-party strictly for prototyping. Additionally, by being involved in the prototype phase, your PCB assembly service will be familiar with the design when it comes to manufacturing. This helps guarantee the final build is an exact match to its prototype.
- Predictive failure testing - As part of your New York PCB assembly services we offer mechanical and electrical analysis on both prototypes and final designs. We can track each component for likely failure rates and offer solutions. This helps calculate post-sale support needs as well as catching and correcting avoidable breakdowns.
