Who would benefit from small batch PCB production?

Small batch PCB production is ideal for start-ups, R&D teams, or manufacturers who need limited quantities of high-quality boards without committing to full-scale production.

I’m not confident with my Gerber files – can you help?

No problem - our team will guide you through the process and remove the hassle, so you get a finished board you can trust.

What's the smallest order I can make?

We have no minimum order requirements – you can purchase exactly the quantity you need

How fast can you deliver small-scale PCBs?

At ABL Circuits, most small batch PCBs are fabricated within 5 working days. For urgent projects, blank PCBs can be produced in as little as 8 hours once we have your Gerber files.

Fast lead times, without compromise

As a true one-stop shop, we manage design, manufacturing, and assembly entirely in-house. That means you get the fastest standard lead times in the industry. Most small batch PCBs are fabricated within 5 working days, and blank board scan be produced in as little as 8 hours once we receive your Gerber files.

Key Differences Between SMT and THT Assembly

PCB assembly uses two main techniques:

Surface Mount Technology (SMT)

SMT components are soldered directly onto the board’s surface, offering:

Faster, automated assembly
Often using Pick and Place machines.

Smaller, cost-effective components
Ideal for compact, high-density designs.

Pre Build CheckFaster, automated assembly
Connections may be weaker under stress.

Through-Hole Technology (THT)

THT involves inserting component leads through drilled holes for a stronger connection:

More durable and reliable
Ideal for high-vibration or high-power applications.

Longer production times
Additional drilling and soldering steps required.

Larger, pricier components
Due to lead-based design and extra material.
