Applications Engineering:

If there was a way to make your PCB design reliable for production in less time and at a lower cost, wouldn’t you want to know about it?

Our Applications Engineering service is offered to all of our customers and it is the most efficient way to maximise your PCB’s performance, reliability, compliance and manufacturability from the outset.

Applications Engineering at product development stage

Using our Applications Engineering service to help develop your product from the beginning means that constructions and material selection will be the most optimal for the intended use, allowing you to confidently reserve materials once the construction is approved. The wording of specifications and drawing notes can be collaborated on to ensure the smoothest possible path to production. 

  • Product performance and reliability can be improved.
  • Standards compliance and manufacturability are built-in.
  • Optimise lead times and costs in line with your project schedule.
  • Best practices are developed and implemented from guidance and ongoing experience.
  • Lowest potential for impact on product delivery after order placement. 

Applications Engineering at Data Finalisation

Using our Applications Engineering service to assess your product’s Design for Manufacture (DFM) before finalising data allows you to request quotations with confidence, since suitability for manufacture is already established. We can proceed quickly to manufacture once an order is placed because we already have in-depth knowledge of your product.

  • Scope to improve Product performance/reliability.
  • Improvements in standards compliance and manufacturability may increase financial outlay.
  • Lead times and costs can be tailored to schedule and can sometimes be reduced.
  • Experience can translate to best practice.
  • Low potential for impact on product delivery after order placement. 

Applications Engineering at the 11th Hour

You may have already performed DFM on your products, but submitting finalised data with your quotation requests and not engaging our Applications Engineering service beforehand carries the risk that problems may still be encountered. Any problems that do arise either at quotation stage or after order placement are likely to result in delays, with the late-on involvement of the Applications Engineering service often being the only solution.

  • Product performance/reliability cannot be improved on.
  • Limited scope for improvements in standards compliance or manufacturability.
  • Any changes will have a negative impact on lead time and cost, and scheduling may be disrupted.
  • No reliable experience can be gained, since outcome may vary from batch to batch.
  • Highest potential for impact on product delivery after order placement.

Our Applications Engineering service is priceless – so when the clock is already ticking, don’t leave it to chance!
