Rugged panel-mount PCB fabrication, priced for scaled sensor-node rollouts
DIN-rail controllers, panel-mount I/O modules, distributed sensor nodes — these boards live inside a cabinet or a field enclosure for years, often through a -40°C to +85°C swing, and the order economics have to work whether it's 10 boards this quarter or 1,000 next year.
Most industrial IoT programs start with a handful of prototype nodes and end up somewhere between a hundred and several thousand deployed units a year or two later. The board that made sense at 10 units rarely stays the right spec — or the right price — at fleet scale.
Panel-mount & DIN-rail form factors
Finish and layout choices matched to cabinet-mounted controllers and I/O modules — extended temperature range material selection, and connector placement that survives vibration over a multi-year service life.
Coating- and enclosure-ready layouts
Pad, connector and test-point placement reviewed during DFM with your target IP rating and conformal coating process in mind, rather than discovered as a rework after the first coated batch fails inspection.
Bulk pricing tied to total panel area
Cost is driven by total board area ordered, not quantity at a fixed reference size — a large sensor-node board in a real rollout quantity earns the same per-unit rate as many small boards covering the same total area. Run your actual node size and quantity through the instant quote tool to see it.
One quality bar, prototype through fleet scale
The DFM review and 100% electrical test on a 10-unit pilot batch are the same ones applied at 1,000 units — there's no separate, lower-scrutiny "production tier" your boards get moved into as volume grows.
Frequently asked
Does pricing actually improve for large industrial rollouts?
It does — the model is based on total board area ordered (board size × quantity), so a scaled sensor-node rollout earns real per-unit economics instead of a flat volume-discount tier bolted onto list price.
Can you fabricate boards for DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures?
This is a common form factor for us. Tell us the enclosure and connector interface up front and we'll review the layout against it during DFM, before anything goes to fabrication.
What temperature range and IP rating can the board support?
The board itself doesn't carry an IP rating — that comes from your enclosure — but material and finish selection (ENIG, conformal-coating-ready layout) support extended-range deployments down to -40°C, and we'll flag it during DFM if your spec needs something the standard build doesn't cover.
What about EMI and noise in a cabinet full of switching equipment?
Ground-plane continuity and stack-up get a specific look during DFM for anything flagged as going into an industrial cabinet — concerns get raised before fabrication, not after a field failure.
Can you handle a jump from a 10-unit pilot to a 500+ unit rollout?
Same fabrication line, same DFM review, same 100% electrical test coverage at both quantities — pricing is the only thing that changes, and it moves in your favor as the order grows.
