What we help with — PCB Manufacturing

PCB Manufacturing sourcing for Charlotte programs

Bare-board PCB fabrication — rigid, flex, rigid-flex, and HDI — through a hand-picked manufacturer bench.

Our PCB manufacturing bench covers the full range of bare-board needs: rigid FR-4, high-Tg, polyimide flex, rigid-flex, HDI with microvias, high layer-count backplanes, controlled-impedance stack-ups, heavy copper, and metal-core PCBs. Layer counts run from single-sided through 30+ layers, with line/space down to 2/2 mil on HDI processes. Materials include Rogers, Isola, Megtron, and Taconic for high-frequency and high-speed designs. Surface finishes span ENIG, immersion silver, OSP, HASL, and ENEPIG. Volumes range from a 24-hour quick-turn 5-piece prototype to ongoing production releases in the thousands. Every shortlisted shop runs IPC-6012 and IPC-A-600 standards, with Class 2 and Class 3 options for medical, defense, and aerospace work. We match each Gerber package to a shop sized for your volume, lead time, and tolerance budget — never overpaying a high-mix prototyper for a production run, never asking a volume house for a one-off.

Why SmartFab

Why Charlotte teams source PCB fab through SmartFab

One RFQ, one accountable partner

One PCB fab RFQ from Charlotte returns one accountable manufacturing quote — sized for your volume, your certifications, and your lead time.

Supply chain headache, eliminated

We own sourcing, production, and follow-up on every Charlotte PCB fab program so your team ships product instead of chasing shops.

Better supplier fit

PCB fab requirements vary wildly by industry — defense programs need ITAR-registered domestic shops, RF/microwave needs Rogers experience, and medical needs Class 3 yield discipline. For Charlotte programs in energy equipment, that means placing the build on a line with the right certifications and volume profile from day one.

Build approach

Build approach for Charlotte PCB fab programs

When we route a PCB fab RFQ for a Charlotte customer, we evaluate the build against facilities in our network on three axes: certifications (does it need ITAR registration or UL recognition?), volume (prototype, low-volume, production), and lead time. Charlotte's energy-equipment OEMs and industrial automation buyers need ISO 9001 and ruggedized PCBA partners — our Southeast bench supports it.

For energy equipment programs in Charlotte, we typically return one accountable manufacturing quote within 24–48 hours.
