A prototype PCB is a scaled-down model of the final product. The term " Prototype "Packer" comes from the fact that the company building the prototype uses parts and components from their production line, rather than buying them in bulk and then having them installed and mounted to the final product. The benefit of this is that you can use these components in your production, with little or no loss of quality. In other words, a prototype can be used as an exact replica of what the final version will look like. A prototype can also be used to find faults in the design, and fix these before the product goes on sale to the public. By using a tool like the Pcb maker, making prototypes becomes a lot less complicated and expensive!












If you're new to electronics, you may not have had any experience making or using prototype Pcb's. This is OK - we're talking about standard production run products here. The tools you'll need to produce your first few Pcb Prototypes are a computer, a good set of printed circuit boards, some type of solder and flux, and some type of design program. Some programs are available for download on the Internet, but most require some sort of program to actually print the images. Software programs allow you to draw on the boards and place connections, but they aren't designed for making images and patterns on the surface of the product. A good contractor can also make sure your new product has good circuit protection by etching the surface of the board with a special coating.












You can create your own Pcb design. When designing your prototype Pcb, make sure you keep in mind the characteristics of the final product you plan to sell. Look at how you want your components to fit in with the overall look and feel of your office, kitchen, etc. When drawing up your design, keep things simple. Include only the minimum number of connections necessary for your design concept to work.












When creating your prototype boards, be as aerodynamic as possible. Choose smooth, rounded edges to keep components from bumping into each other. Make sure that every component of the Pcb corresponds to its corresponding Pcb component, or you'll have a lot of misalignments when wiring or soldering the parts together. Test your circuit boards with various connections beforehand. Once you've tested them, you should have no problem finishing the assembly.












Your finished Pcb will also need to have power circuit protection. Some prototyping tasks require PIC or digital IC integration, which means the circuit elements will be vulnerable to high current surges. Power circuit protection prevents these surges from harming the components of your PIC or digital IC. You can buy PIC power circuit guards for under $100. There are also several different varieties, including some that are designed to protect against USB power, MIDI, and low-voltage AC power surges.












The next step in your journey into designing a prototype PIC is to wire up all of the components. This requires soldering or wire wrapping the circuits onto your PIC. The more circuitry you put on your PIC, the larger your parts list will grow. It's best to start out simple and add only one circuit at a time, so you can focus on adding only one component at a time.












In general, it takes one to three weeks from designing your pcb prototype until you're actually able to start manufacturing. This is because you'll have to wait for your prototype components to be manufactured according to your specs, test them thoroughly, and then test them again before you finalize your production run. Prototype PCB manufacturers usually have very tight turnaround times, depending on how large your order is. Some even have to meet you back within a few days if they have any additional parts. This gives you plenty of time to ensure that your pcb prototypes are as perfect as possible.












Once you've finalized your prototype PCB components, then it's time to upload your files to your CAD software, where you'll create a proof-of-concept PCB. This proof-of-concept PCB will serve as the real thing when you receive your funds and move onto production. Once your proof-of-concept PCB is complete, you can move onto the assembly of your first samples.
