Standard PCB
We are a full-service provider of standard printed circuit boards and custom printed circuit boards. The standard printed circuit boards are the widely used solution for any kind of PCB needs. Our U.S. based manufacturing facilities and the latest PCB manufacturing equipment allow us to provide fast and flexible turn times to meet our customer’s tight project deadlines.
When it comes to standard PCBs, there is a range of common or standard PCB thicknesses. These include 0.031 in (0.78mm), 0.062 in (1.57mm) and 0.093 in (2.36mm). When determining the PCB thickness, of course, there a number of design and manufacturing factors to consider. Some of these include:
Factors that Impact Standard PCB Thickness
- Board Material
- Thickness of Copper
- Number of layers
- Type of signals
- Type of vias
- The overall environment of operation
- Depanelization method
While most designers target standard board thickness values, boards also need to be designed to target standard panel sizes. The most common standard panel sizes are:
- 18" × 24"
- 18" × 12"
- 9" × 24"
- 9" × 12"
As a thumb rule, standard PCB services need to be undertaken once you are ready to move from the prototype to the mass production stage.
At Technotronix, we offer standard PCB services including a wide range of substrate material including:
- Aluminum
- FR4
- Rogers, and more.
Standard PCB services come with tighter production tolerances.

Benefits of Standard PCBs
Standard PCBs come in handy once the prototype boards have been made and your design has been fully tested. Post that placing a bulk order for standard PCBs can go a long way in saving costs. Standard PCBs can be made to comply with IPC 2 with strict internal quality assurance testing so as to ensure that they are fully reliable.
Application of Standard Printed Circuit Boards
Standard PCBs find wide application in high volume production runs once the prototype and the design stage is over. With the capability to print advanced circuit boards in large dimensions, they work well even for large designs. With design for manufacturing analysis of all standard PCBs, it is ascertained that the PCB design will turn out as expected.
The top applications for standard printed circuit boards include:
Consumer Electronics
LEDs
Automotive Components
Telecommunications Equipment
Safety and security equipment
Medical Devices
Digital Components
Manufacturing Equipment
