High-precision Immersion Gold PCB Prototype Communication Base Station Signal Integrity Test

DQS Electronic offers rapid PCB prototyping services for quick-turn PCB at high quality and low cost. We're fully compliant with ISO9001:2008 quality management systems, and we have an in-house quality control department to verify that all work meets each regulation depicted by the high standards.

♦ What is PCB Prototype?

A ​​PCB Prototype​​ is an early-stage, functional sample of a printed circuit board (PCB) designed to test and validate the circuit design before mass production. It allows engineers to verify electrical performance, mechanical fit, and manufacturability while identifying potential issues early in the development cycle.

♦ Key Purposes of PCB Prototyping

• • 1. ​​Design Validation​​

       • Check if the circuit works as intended (signal integrity, power delivery, etc.).
       • Test component placement and routing efficiency.

    2. ​​Functional Testing​​

       • Verify compatibility with other system parts (e.g., sensors, connectors).
       • Detect short circuits, open traces, or overheating issues.

    3. ​​Manufacturability Assessment (DFM)​​

       • Ensure the design can be reliably produced at scale (e.g., solderability, layer alignment).

    4. ​​Cost & Time Optimization​​

       • Fix errors early to avoid expensive rework in mass production.

♦ Characteristics of PCB Prototype

• • • ​​Small quantity: Usually the number of pieces produced is small, maybe only a few to dozens of pieces, mainly used for testing and verification, not mass production.
    • ​​Flexible process: In order to quickly get a prototype, some relatively flexible processes and methods may be used in the production process, which may not be completely in accordance with the standard process of mass production. This can shorten the production cycle while ensuring a certain quality.
    • ​​Possible defects: Due to the small number of production and flexible process, the PCB Prototype may have some small defects or imperfections, but this does not affect its verification and testing functions for the design.

♦ How to Order PCB Prototypes?​​

• ​​Turnkey Services​​: Companies like ​​DQS Electronic, offers low-cost, fast-turnaround prototypes in 24–72 hours.
• ​​In-House Prototyping​​: For rapid iterations, use desktop PCB mills or laser etching (limited to simple designs).
