Have you worked with a PCB design contractor before?

Yes No

2Project overview

A short plain-language description is usually enough at this stage.

Project name / reference

What does the product do? Who uses it, and where?

Where is the project right now?

Idea / concept only Block diagram done Schematic done (needs layout) Existing design to modify Existing board to re-spin Prototype built, needs fixes

3Scope of work required

Tick everything you would like included in the quotation.

Anything else not listed above

4Functional requirements

Main MCU / processor (if chosen)

Key ICs or modules already selected

Interfaces and functions required

Other interfaces or functions

Any specific performance requirements? (accuracy, sample rates, switching currents, data throughput, latency, battery life)

5Power requirements

Power source

Input voltage range

Total current / power budget

Supply rails required (e.g. 3V3 @ 500 mA, 5 V @ 2 A)

Battery chemistry & capacity (if used)

Charging required? Charge current

Is mains voltage or any voltage above 60 V present on the board?

Yes No

Is galvanic isolation required between any sections?

Yes No

6Mechanical & board constraints

If you have an enclosure or mounting already chosen, please send the drawing or STEP file.

Maximum board size (X × Y mm)

Maximum board height / z-clearance

Preferred or maximum layer count

Board thickness

Copper weight

Surface finish (HASL / ENIG / other)

Soldermask colour

Silkscreen colour

Fixed mechanical constraints: connector positions, mounting holes, keep-out areas, board outline, enclosure details

Is an enclosure already selected or designed?

Yes No

Is controlled impedance required?

Yes No

Are through-hole components acceptable?

Yes No

7Manufacturing & sourcing

Prototype quantity

Expected annual production volume

Target cost per assembled board

Preferred component distributors

Preferred PCB fabricator (if any)

Assembly: hand, local SMT house, or turnkey?

Will you supply any components yourself?

Yes No

Does the design need long-term part availability (10+ years)?

Yes No

8Environment & compliance

Certification requirements strongly affect layout decisions, so it helps to know early.

Operating temperature range

Operating environment (indoor / outdoor / IP rating)

Approvals or standards the product must meet

Specific standards to design against

9Deliverables required

Other deliverables

10Timeline & budget

An honest budget range saves us both time and lets us scope the work properly.

Preferred start date

Required completion date

Budget range for the design work

Is the deadline tied to a hard event? (trade show, funding, tender)

Preferred contact method

How often would you like progress updates?

11Anything else we should know

Known risks, previous failures, patents, competitor products or special requests — anything that helps us understand the project
