Printed Circuit Board Design

At Elmgrove Technologies, we have been a respected provider of printed circuit board design services since 1971. We keep pace with the continual advancements in the field of electronic design and utilize leading edge software packages to create layouts that are functionally accurate and optimized for manufacturing and assembly. Our policy is to establish open lines of communication with our clients; this allows us to respond quickly to client needs and accelerate turnaround times.

We have the ability to manage any type of project, from simple designs to those with complex arrangements and a high mix of features. By applying the principles of design-for-manufacturability and design-for-assembly, we transform your schematic into a circuit board layout that is functionally sound yet economical to produce. Our technical teams use intelligent software tools for component placement, interconnect position, and routing, and then use a hands-on approach to fine tune the details. Once the design is completed, we subject it to an intense review process, making adjustments as needed to ensure a sound design.

If you have an existing PCB design that needs modification, we can make updates that leverage newer methods and technologies. Thru-hole to surface-mount conversions enable you to take advantage of automated SMT production methods that reduce hand assembly and improve the accuracy of component placement. High-speed pick-and-place equipment, combined with automated soldering and testing, can lead to substantial manufacturing cost reductions, higher yields, and a more consistent level of quality. In addition, SMT components can be placed on both sides of the board, which allows for higher density designs that support the trend for smaller and smaller electronics.

Our standard deliverable incorporates a complete design package shipped directly to the customer. The complete package includes dimensional drawings, layouts, component placement files, a complete BOM, as well as manufacturing and assembly drawings. It also includes finalized PADS design file and all corresponding rights/ownership at no extra charge (many design houses maintain ownership or sell this for an additional cost). As a single source solution for printed circuit boards, we can also provide complete manufacturing and assembly.

We have had the privilege of working with organizations that range from Fortune 500 companies to small startups and entrepreneurial businesses. Our mission is to provide our customers with a high quality, value-driven solution that supports the success of their product. Contact us today to learn more.
