Working Time
Prototype Jobs
B.E.C. Manufacturing has a good reputation for quick turn around prototype jobs. Not only because our products are good and stable in quality, but because our turn around is quick and punctual. Focused on PCBs for over 20 years, B.E.C. always strives to exceed clients’ expectations.
The standard manufacturing time is 3 days for Double sided and single sided PCBs and 4 days for Multi-layer PCBs. We can also do jobs in as little as 24 hours.
Big jobs
For large volume jobs, the delivery time is around 10-15 working days depending on the details of the job and our sales team will confirm it with you when we receive your order.
Tips
B.E.C. has an advantage in multi design jobs. For prototype jobs we use standard panel sizes, the price is the same regardless of the number of designs (within certain limits) which means you get better value for your money if you put more than one design in a panel.
Normally, our clients prefer to panelise their designs. This allows them to make the most out of the available area. The standard sizes are listed below:
| Panel size (Usable area) |
Board Limit | Hole Limit | V-Cut |
|---|---|---|---|
| "7.6 x 10.6" | 10 | 2000 | 20 |
| "6.6 x 16.6" | 15 | 3000 | 20 |
| "10.6 x 16.6" | 20 | 4000 | 40 |
| "14.6 x 16.6" | 30 | 6000 | 60 |
The use of standard panel sizes allows us to streamline the production process, reduce labour and increase speed. This also allows us to have a short lead time and competitive prices.
If your job does not fit in a standard panel size please contact our sales team. We also use custom panel sizes for special jobs.
We will automatically panelise your design to fit as many PCBs as possible on the panel you specify. This means we will determine which orientation will fit best (horizontal or vertical) and will repeat the design in the X and Y axis to fill the panel.
We will not place copies of the design with different rotations in order to fit more copies. If you wish to put more than one design in the panel or panelise in a more efficient way, you have to copy all different designs in to one single file. We will step and repeat this single file as many times as it will fit in the standard panel.
For example, if you have 4 designs that occupy an area of 4x4", we will fit 4 sets in a 6.6x16.6" panel.
Solder Paste Stencil
Solder paste stencils are designed for screen printing solder paste on printed circuit boards during the assembly process. They are necessary when SMT boards are machine assembled. To meet the demanding requirements of solder paste stencil, B.E.C. now offers laser-cut stencils with the following features:
- 7.6 x 10.6" or larger.
- Short turnaround: 1-3 working days.
- High accuracy of sizes, dimensions and positioning.
- Smooth aperture walls.
- Stable area tension.
Membrane Switches
BEC offers prototype quantities of custom made membrane switches of various builds. To help you make your projects have a professional look B.E.C. now offers custom made membrane switches with the following features:
- Led and limiting resistors available.
- 35v 100ma rated contacts.
- Contacts tested to 100ohm closed and 10M ohm open.
- Contact life > 500 000 cycles.
