Bay Area Circuits is a PCB manufacturing company specializing in quick turn PCB fabrication. We understand how essential Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are, as the backbone of all major electronic products. We create PCBs that bring your electronics to life. PCBs conduct electricity around their surface via a network of copper pathways. Each circuit board’s unique role is determined by a complex system of incredibly intricate copper routes. As a full turnkey PCB manufacturer, Bay Area Circuits believes in supplying the highest quality compliant products for each and every one of our customers.
Our end-to-end printed circuit board manufacturing process-design, fabrication, and assembly-delivers best-in-class solutions for every project to ensure unparalleled value and quality for our customers. Our proven approach has been finely tuned over 45 years to consistently provide on-time delivery and absolute product integrity. We’ll bring your quick turn PCB vision to life – often with 24-hour service. Whether you prefer to use our online ordering system or have a dedicated representative walk through each step with you, our team of experts will exceed your expectations.
We set the standard for innovative, precise, and quality printed circuit board fabrication. Our 30,000 square foot facility in the Fremont Innovation District of Silicon Valley produces quick turn PCBs with pinpoint accuracy and rapid delivery.

Part 1: An ESD Example Signal Current Flow in a Layer Transition Abstract: Printed circuit board, PCB, signal paths must often change layers in a board stackup. Under some conditions this can cause problems. An ESD example is used to …
Liquid Photoimageable (LPI) Soldermask For many years the only color you would see on a printed circuit board was green. Maybe a military influence? The color of the printed circuit board is only a small part of the consideration for …
What is Controlled Impedance? Electrical impedance is the measure of the opposition (resistance) that a circuit presents to the passage of a current when a voltage is applied in an alternating current circuit. It is represented by Zo: Electrical …
Cross-Section Analysis How can the internal quality of a printed circuit board be inspected and verified using cross section analysis? We previously published an article that talked about IPC Inspection guidelines that provides an overview of the standards used in …
Applying the surface finish is one of the last steps of manufacturing a printed circuit board. The surface finish on a PCB is typically applied after the soldermask process and is designed to prevent oxidation of the remaining exposed copper, …
