Benefits of Using Tailored Printed Circuit Boards

PCBs can be designed and manufactured for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, from heavy equipment for production operations to cellphones for consumer use. By tailoring them to the exact needs of the application, manufacturers can trust that the components will operate and perform as intended in the assembled device or system. Other benefits of using a custom PCB over a standard circuit board include:

• Smaller footprint, greater circuit density. Custom PCBs can be optimized to suit the performance requirements and space restrictions of the application, meaning the circuitry could be condensed to achieve better transmission as well as minimize the size of the component. This could include something as simple as adding additional board layers or decreasing the trace/space dimensions.
• Lower labor costs, higher labor savings. Custom PCB production can be automated to decrease labor costs while increasing accuracy, precision, or quality. Additionally, the design of the PCB can be engineered to minimize installation, replacement, and servicing requirements.
• No need for instructional and testing labels. Custom PCBs can have legends directly printed onto them, which eliminates the need for separate printed decals.
