PCB Design Services

UK PCB design services for you
Here at ABL Circuits, we offer a range of high quality PCB design services all handled by our professional UK-based team, including fast PCB design in as little as 8 hours. With almost 40 years of experience under our belts, and the latest technology at our fingertips, we can help you design the perfect board for all your needs.
Our team have the equipment and knowledge to provide all our design services in-house. Using our own CAD technology we can take your circuit diagrams and specifications to create the product you require.
Don’t know what you need?
No need to worry, we have a number of customers who come to us with a vision or end product in mind, but when it comes to specifications and diagrams, they don’t know what they need. If you need to design a PCB but you’re not sure how to tackle the process, we can take that weight off your shoulders. Working closely with you to understand your brief, we will create the diagrams and schematics for you, using our extensive experience.
All our PCB design, manufacturing, production and assembly takes place at our factory in Baldock, where we offer the fastest lead times in the UK. We can deliver your PCB to your door within 5 working days, and we even offer manufacturing for the next day for those urgent jobs.

What PCB design services do we offer at ABL Circuits?
We offer a customer experience that is second to none when it comes to our PCB services, covering a range of aspects such as:
Consultancy service: from day one our team will be on-call for any questions you may have and to guide you through the process – all the way from concept to creation. Anything you need, our team will be here to help.
Schematic capture: This is a vital part of the design process in which the electronic diagram, or electronic schematic of the board is created. This is done with the help of a tool, known as a schematic editor. Schematic capture is a hugely important part of the process as this electronic diagram will show the designers where the electrical components need to be on the board, enabling it to function effectively when manufactured and assembled.
Bill Of Materials (BOM) creation: When designing the board we must decide what components we are going to use. This will differ from board to board depending on the product and its intended function. A BOM is essentially a file that outlines and indicates the different components to be used as we head into the manufacturing process. For example, if your board will be used in a product such as a satellite in space, the highest quality and most durable components would need to be used to withstand the environment – this would be outlined in the BOM.
CAD layout and design: At ABL Circuits we use a design software called Altium to create our CAD layout and design. Our experienced team use Altium to layout the design of the board, the size and shape, the different layers this may incorporate and where the components will be placed.
