How do I send a new order to King Circuit?

We take pride in building PCBs for you quickly and accurately. Here's what we need from you…

FILES & DRAWINGS

• Gerber files with apertures (either 274D or 274X embedded format)
• Drill file (ASCII text file preferred) and tool assignments
• Circuit outline (or corner marks) and datum point (referencing plated hole in Gerber) identified. A drill drawing (which matches drill file and tooling assignments) is great for this and it also allows us to check your hole sizes in final inspection.
• Identify slots and cutouts with dimensions and plated vs. unplated
• Fabrication drawing or read me file listing copper weight for every layer, number and color of soldermasks and legends, board material, etc.
• Board material and thickness
• Layer stack up if it is a multi-layer board
• Tolerances, if other than industry standard IPC Class 2

ROUTING & SCORING

• Routing requires a minimum of 10 mils from copper to the board edge.
• Scoring requires a minimum of 15 mils from copper to the board edge.

ANCILLARY INFORMATION

• Testing requirements, if any
• Array layout with dimensions, if any
• Surface finish desired (we offer RoHS compliant (lead free) PCBs)
• For a stepped paste file, please enclose a one up paste file
• Any other notes not covered above

PURCHASE ORDER INFORMATION

• Order quantity and the date required in house
• Shipping method

What is included in a standard prototype?

FR-4 material, 0.031" or 0.062" thick, 1 oz finished copper weight, 6 mil space and trace or larger, minimum hole size 0.012", minimum annular ring 5 mil radius, maximum dimension 19" by 16", green, red, blue or black soldermask with white, black or yellow legend with a leaded HAL surface finish.

How do you handle a prototype that does not meet the standard requirements?

Please send us the data you have - gerber, fabrication drawing, DXF files, etc. and we will fax or e-mail a quotation back within one business day. Let us know if you are in a rush, we will get it to you more quickly.

What types of circuit boards can King Circuit make?

Every kind you can think of except quartz (used only for military applications). We love making difficult boards too. Try us.

Does King Circuit check my gerber files?

Yes. We check your files and documentation twice.

We check your package within a couple of business hours of receiving your order for missing or conflicting data. Unlike many other companies, we will contact you and resolve any issues. As you may be aware, many of our competitors either do not look at your package or they make major changes without discussing them with you first.

While we are panelizing your files, we also check for manufacturability and some design errors.

Can I cancel my order before completion?

Yes. King Circuit does allow you to cancel prototype and production orders before they are completed. Minimum cancellation charge on prototype orders is 50% and production orders is 25%. The cancellation charge is at the sole discretion of King Circuit. By sending us their order, the customer agrees to pay any cancellation charge King Circuit specifies. If you have read competitor's cancellation charges, you know ours is more generous than most.
