IPC-6012 / IPC-A-600 for PCB fabrication
Automotive PCB Manufacturing and Assembly
Automotive electronics require PCBs that deliver long-term reliability, functional safety, and consistent performance under harsh operating conditions. CircuitEDGE provides high-reliability PCB design, fabrication, and assembly solutions engineered for modern automotive platforms. Our boards are built to withstand temperature extremes, vibration, moisture, electrical noise, and extended service lifecycles demanded by today’s vehicles.
Automotive PCB Design & Manufacturing in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
CircuitEDGE supports automotive OEMs, Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers, EV manufacturers, and mobility technology providers across Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and global markets. We manufacture PCBs for powertrain electronics, body control modules, infotainment systems, ADAS platforms, battery management systems, and in-vehicle networking hardware.
Our engineering approach includes controlled-impedance routing, mixed-signal isolation, thermal optimization, and robust power distribution design. We work with automotive-grade laminates, high-temperature materials, heavy-copper constructions, and EMI-optimized layouts. Every design undergoes detailed DFM/DFA review, followed by AOI, X-ray inspection (where required), and electrical validation to ensure production readiness.
Key Requirements for Automotive PCB Design
Automotive applications impose strict mechanical, thermal, and electrical constraints. Critical PCB requirements include:
1. Operation across wide temperature ranges (−40°C to +125°C or higher)
2. Resistance to vibration, shock, and mechanical stress
3. EMI/EMC robustness for dense in-vehicle electronics
4. Stable power distribution for high-current and safety-critical systems
5. Long lifecycle support and component availability
6. Compliance with functional safety and quality standards
7. Compatibility with conformal coating and environmental protection
These requirements ensure consistent vehicle performance, safety, and durability throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
Standards Apply to Automotive PCBs
Incorporating the appropriate intent requires understanding the standards that apply to the development of your boards.
IPC-A-610 Class 2 or Class 3 assembly standards
Automotive-grade material and process control
EMI/EMC compliance aligned with automotive regulations
RoHS & REACH environmental compliance
AOI, X-ray, and electrical testing for complex assemblies
Full traceability and documentation for production programs
AS9102B specifies FAI requirements. This crucial verification ensures initial units meet all design and specification requirements before full production.
