Circuit Technology Global Sourcing Ltd

PCB Design

Over the years, Circuit Technology has designed thousands of PCBs for all kinds of applications. Utilising this extensive experience, we’re able to develop cost-effective solutions that are ready for manufacture and designed for reliability. The service covers:

• PCB design from CAD files, hand drawn sketches or Netlist. 
• CAD schematic generation with Netlist and BOM output. 
• Schematic symbols, PCB Footprint and parts library creation.
• Reverse engineering of obsolete parts from bare board or film plot.
• Provision of fabrication and assembly drawings.

PCB Manufacture

Whether you need PCBs that are single sided, 2-layer, 4-24 layer, flex, flex-rigid, micro-via, stacked via, metal backed, thermally managed or bonded for sequential lamination, Circuit Technology can manufacture or source the boards you require quickly, cost-effectively and in almost any quantity.

PCB Assembly

Customers can also take advantage of our turnkey assembly service for prototype, pre-production and volume quantities. This covers through hole, surface mount (SMD) and mixed technologies. We also offer conformal coating and device programming prior to system integration or despatch. All processes are fully automated to ensure consistent placement quality.  To find out more about our assembly services, please visit Circuit Technology online or call us on 01926 641119.

Quality Statement

Our business strategy has always been to add value wherever possible and to provide technical support, advice and assistance whenever needed. We work closely with you to determine your needs and to ensure your quality requirements are met, designing and developing PCBs that match your exact specifications and then testing and inspecting them to ensure optimum performance. If our engineers see a design or specification that can be fine tuned to make manufacturing easier, they will always advise you, and if your board is costing more than it ought to, they’ll let you know and help you find an alternative.

SMD to DIP8 Converters

On the Circuit Technology website you’ll find a range of SMD to DIP8 converters that enable you to quickly build a prototype on a strip board for design testing, saving you the cost of an expensive prototype PCB which may not always work first time. All you need to do is attach your SMD device to the adapter board – it’s quick, simple and cost-effective. 

Converters available for purchase online include:

• DIP to uMAX8
• DIP to S8
• DIP to TS8 SOT23-8
• DIP to QFN8
• DIP to SO8
• DIP to MSOP8

Details and specifications can be found on the Circuit Technology website. 

RS232 Boards

Used in connection with a simple terminal program, an RS232 port can be a powerful and effective development and bug fixing aid.  At Circuit Technology we offer 100% proof-tested double and single port devices which can help speed up development and reduce costs. Don’t waste time and effort strip-boarding – use an RS232 port instead!
