Submit Your PCB Requirements
Start with Your Files and Build Requirements
Use the form to request a bare PCB manufacturing quotation. Share the current revision and identify any details that are preliminary or still need engineering confirmation.
-
Fabrication Files
Gerber and drill data, fabrication drawings, stackup and any supporting specifications.
-
Board Specification
Board type, layers, dimensions, finished thickness, materials, copper and surface finish.
-
Quantity & Schedule
Required quantity, individual boards or panels, destination and target ship or arrival date.
-
Special Requirements
Impedance requirements, specified tolerances, acceptance criteria, markings and requested records.
Prefer to Email Your Package?
sales@pcbelec.comIf the package is not final, describe the project and mark the information that may change. Missing details may need confirmation before a firm quotation.
PCB Manufacturing Inquiry
Request Your PCB Quote
Add the available specifications and attach your fabrication package. Submitting an inquiry does not release an order for production.
From Inquiry to Delivery
A Clear Path to Your PCB Order
The quotation and engineering review establish the requirements. Production follows the accepted order scope and the confirmed manufacturing release.
-
Submit the Package
Send the current fabrication files, board requirements, quantity and target delivery date.
-
Review & Quote
We review the request, identify details needing confirmation and prepare the quotation with its scope and conditions.
-
Confirm the Order
Confirm the quotation, file revision, delivery arrangement and payment terms. Resolve outstanding engineering questions.
-
Release & Manufacture
Once release requirements are met, we fabricate the boards against the approved manufacturing specification.
-
Verify & Dispatch
We complete the agreed inspection and verification scope, then prepare the boards for the confirmed shipment.
Keep the Schedule Clear
Identify whether your deadline is a ship date or an arrival date. Confirm the production schedule and shipping arrangement for the accepted order rather than treating inquiry submission as the start of fabrication.
Engineering & Order Confirmation
Define the Build Before Production
The quotation, fabrication files and engineering answers should describe the same board. Confirm the following items so the accepted requirements form one clear manufacturing baseline.
Swipe horizontally to view all confirmation details.
| Confirmation Item | What to Align | What the Order Should Identify |
|---|---|---|
| Files & Revision | Fabrication data, drill files, drawings and approved engineering answers. Resolve conflicts between documents. | The released board revision and the agreed source files for manufacture. |
| Construction & Materials | Stackup, finished thickness, material requirements, copper, surface finish and any permitted alternatives. | Accepted construction and specifications, including conditions for substitutions. |
| Verification & Delivery Format | Acceptance criteria, specified checks, individual boards or panels, identification, packaging and requested records. | The agreed verification scope and the form in which boards will be supplied. |
| Commercial Terms & Schedule | Quantity, quotation scope, payment terms, release conditions, destination and shipment arrangement. | Accepted order conditions and a schedule that distinguishes dispatch from arrival. |
Keep approvals traceable. When a requirement changes, reference the affected revision and obtain confirmation of any impact on price, timing or the manufacturing specification.
PCB Ordering FAQ
Questions Before You Place an Order
Clarify the files, quotation conditions and order details before releasing your next PCB build.
Need a project-specific answer?
sales@pcbelec.comWhich files should I send for a PCB quotation?
Provide the fabrication data, drill files and available drawings together with the board specification, quantity and delivery requirements. Identify the current revision and any preliminary information.
Review the manufacturing file requirements and follow the file types and upload limit shown on the inquiry form.
Can I request a quote before the design is final?
Yes. Share the available information and clearly identify details that may change. An early discussion can establish what still needs confirmation.
A quotation based on preliminary information may need revision when the final files or specifications are available.
When will the quotation and manufacturing schedule be confirmed?
Timing depends on the completeness of the request, board requirements and any engineering questions that need resolution. Ask for confirmation against your specific project rather than assuming a fixed response or fabrication time.
State whether your deadline is a required ship date or arrival date. Inquiry submission alone does not establish a production start date.
How do I confirm the order and payment?
Review the quotation, board revision, quantity, acceptance requirements and delivery arrangement. Follow the payment method, terms and instructions confirmed for the order.
Any remaining engineering approvals and release conditions should be resolved before manufacture.
Can I change files after confirming an order?
Contact us promptly with the order reference, affected revision and a clear description of the requested change.
Do not assume that sending a new file automatically replaces the released package. Whether a change can be accepted, and any effect on cost or timing, needs confirmation against the current order status.
What information is needed for a repeat order?
Provide the previous order reference and board revision, then confirm the new quantity, destination and required schedule.
Explicitly identify any changes to files, materials, markings, packaging or acceptance requirements. Confirm the applicable specification rather than relying only on the board name.
What if my project requires an NDA before file submission?
Contact us before uploading or emailing restricted design files. Explain the required confidentiality conditions and request confirmation of the NDA arrangements.
Do not send files that require an executed agreement until the required arrangements have been confirmed. General personal-data handling information is available in the Privacy Policy .
