How long does a smart home project take from enquiry to prototype?

Quotations are returned within 30 minutes as a rule. Expedited prototype lead times run by layer count: double-sided 24 hours, 4-layer 48 hours, 6–8 layer 72 hours, 10–12 layer 96 hours; single-stage HDI at 6 layers is 48 hours. Volume lead times are set by order quantity.

Which inspection and material documents can you supply?

As standard we supply a certificate of conformance, material certifications with lot records, and electrical test records; impedance test reports and microsection analysis are available on request. Acceptance can be run to IPC-6012 Class II or Class III, which must be stated on the order.

Smart Home

Engineering considerations

Wireless modules and antenna clearance: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules are sensitive to copper clearance in the antenna zone and to reference-ground integrity; stack-up and keep-out areas are confirmed at design stage to avoid a respin after ramp.
Volume cost control: Smart-home products are price-sensitive and mostly two- or four-layer. Selection focuses on holding down layer count and finish cost while still meeting EMC and mechanical requirements.

Applicable board types

The board types below are the ones that come up most often in smart home applications. Each link goes to that board type's capability page with material, layer-count and process ranges. Combined constructions such as hybrid lamination or embedded copper are also available.

Stack-up, materials and acceptance criteria are confirmed per project.

Routine enquiries are answered within 30 minutes. Once you upload Gerber files and technical requirements, engineering returns manufacturability findings together with the quotation, so design conflicts surface before production rather than after.
