THAILAND PCB · KNOWLEDGE & FACTORIES

Know the board. Know the factory.

A practical manufacturing guide, backed by a dated view of Thailand’s PCB industry. Turn research into better questions, clearer specifications and better documented orders.

What a factory needs to quote well.

01 / MANUFACTURING BRIEF

Define the fabrication package

Keep the board revision, Gerber layers, outline, drill files and fabrication drawing consistent. Separate a bare-board order from assembly; an assembly quote also needs a BOM and placement data.

02 / MANUFACTURING BRIEF

Specify the stackup

Ask the factory to propose the layer stack, dielectric thicknesses, finished copper and tolerances. List impedance targets with their reference layers and test method. The 3D workspace is a schematic aid; the agreed stackup is the production reference.

03 / MANUFACTURING BRIEF

Choose material with context

Record the exact grade and permitted alternatives. Compare electrical values at matching frequencies and test methods. Keep thermal requirements, surface finish and assembly conditions in the factory discussion.

04 / MANUFACTURING BRIEF

Make exceptions visible

Ask each supplier to list deviations, the manufacturing site, minimum order, production lead time and the complete quoted cost. Resolve the exceptions in the meeting room before the specification lines are locked.

05 / MANUFACTURING BRIEF

Define acceptance evidence

Agree the required test reports, inspection records, samples, lot identification and acceptance criteria before signing. Decide who reviews each milestone and what happens if the delivered lot differs from the agreed specification.

06 / MANUFACTURING BRIEF

Keep changes traceable

Keep the original drawing fingerprint and agreed requirements with the contract. Revise the agreement before approving a substitution or new file revision. A matching package label identifies the reference; it does not certify the physical board.

Material references: Isola 370HR · Rogers RO4350B. Use the current manufacturer documentation with the specific construction and test conditions.

Established sites. The next wave.

Operating sites and reported openings are separated from approved expansions. These are selected research profiles, not a complete registry, platform partnerships or verified available capacity. Confirm the exact legal entity, site and current capability before sourcing.
