Rapid Quotes from PCB Trace – Because Time Matters
In today’s fast-paced, fiercely competitive electronics industry, speed and agility are crucial to success. Innovators that can navigate design, development and manufacturing processes with dexterity and quickness stand to gain a competitive edge, seize emerging opportunities, and establish a strong foothold in the marketplace before their competitors.
Speed and accuracy of the quotation process for building PCBs and PCB assemblies are key drivers of success. Whether you require a small number of prototypes for testing and validation, or large volume turn-key production runs, obtaining fast and meticulously detailed quotes is fundamental to swift and accurate manufacturing.
PCB Trace has developed proprietary software that accelerates quoting and expedites production of electronic assemblies. Their latest version, called PCB TRACE, is the result of 7 years of advanced software refinements. It utilizes sophisticated API communication programs and advanced algorithms to extract, share and analyze data across the supply chain, revolutionizing electronics manufacturing order fulfillment processes.
PCB TRACE by RUSHPCB, quickly delivers comparative quotes from an extensive lineup of component suppliers and allows customers to choose from a wide selection of board types and assembly options. In mere minutes, PCB TRACE provides detailed information on costs and lead-times for each component, as well as entire assemblies. From simple two-sided rigid boards with through-hole components to complex 40-layer HDI surface mount assemblies with flying-probe electrical testing and conformal coating, the options are virtually limitless.
With PCB TRACE, there is no need to waste valuable time searching for prices and availability from multiple vendors, a process that traditionally takes days. Whether you are interested in obtaining quotes on bare boards, PCB assemblies or full turnkey production, you can easily secure these quotes online at PCB Trace website.

Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Strip-Etch-Strip
02/19/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsThe demand for ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) PCBs is growing as electronic devices become increasingly advanced. That means we will be creating more designs that need to align with the reality of manufacturing UHDI boards. My last column on this subject focused on plating, and we are ready to discuss the strip-etch-strip (SES) process. With UHDI boards, footprints are smaller and tolerances are tighter. Your big design challenge associated with the SES process involves trace width and spacing control. The etching process can undercut traces and alter their final size.
Beyond IPC-2152: Creating Technology-specific Current-carrying Capacity Design Charts Using Thermal Modeling
01/29/2026 | Mike Jouppi, Thermal Management LLCDesigners commonly size traces using online calculators based on IPC-2221 or IPC-2152 charts, selecting width and thickness for a given current and allowable temperature rise (ΔT). Consideration is given to parallel conductors, although this is not a practical evaluation method for most designs. An important aspect of trace heating, especially groups of traces, is the power dissipated by the conductors. Unfortunately, the power dissipation or a method for accounting for power losses in the traces/conductors or planes is not straightforward.
Connect the Dots: The Future of Designing for Reality—Outer Layer Imaging
12/24/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIf you read my column regularly, you know I’m passionate about helping designers get the most from their designs. In my November column, I focused on designer best practices for the electroless copper component of the manufacturing process. The next step is outer layer imaging: the transition from digital to physical, and where the designer’s IP meets the board.
