Custom Printed Circuit Boards Made Simple – Explore the PCB Manufacturing Process
11 0 Apr 18.2025, 10:30:06

Behind every electronic device is a high-precision PCB board — the foundation of modern hardware. Whether you're an engineer developing a new product or a hobbyist working on your next innovation, understanding the PCB manufacturing process is key to building smarter, faster, and more reliable technology.

At PCBGOGO, we specialize in producing high-quality custom printed circuit boards for prototyping and full-scale production. With our streamlined online ordering system and advanced in-house facilities, we help bring your ideas to life with speed and precision.

What Is a PCB Board?

A PCB board (Printed Circuit Board) is a laminated structure made of insulating and conductive layers that mechanically supports and electrically connects components using conductive pathways. PCBs are essential in everything from smartphones and medical equipment to automotive electronics and industrial machines.

PCBGOGO offers a wide range of PCB types to meet various application needs, including:

  • Single-layer and double-layer PCBs

  • Multilayer PCBs (up to 14 layers)

  • Rigid, flexible, and rigid-flex boards

  • High-frequency and HDI PCBs

The PCB Manufacturing Process – Step by Step

Creating a high-quality custom printed circuit board involves several critical steps. Here's how we do it at PCBGOGO:

  1. Design & File Preparation: Customers submit Gerber files and BOMs, which are reviewed by our engineers for accuracy and manufacturability.

  2. Material Cutting: Base materials (typically FR4) are cut to size according to the order specifications.

  3. Image Transfer: The circuit pattern is printed onto the copper layer using photoresist and UV light.

  4. Etching: Unwanted copper is chemically removed, leaving behind the desired circuit traces.

  5. Drilling: CNC machines create vias and through-holes with micron-level precision.

  6. Plating & Solder Mask: Holes are plated and solder mask is applied to protect the board and prevent shorts.

  7. Silkscreen & Surface Finish: Component labels and logos are printed; finishes like HASL, ENIG, or OSP are applied to contact areas.

  8. Quality Inspection: Boards undergo AOI, flying probe testing, and manual inspections to ensure full compliance.

We manage the entire PCB manufacturing process in our certified facilities (ISO 9001, UL, RoHS), ensuring high quality and traceability from start to finish.
