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.

Why I Finally Embraced Autorouting
07/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAHere is a common misconception held by those who don’t fully understand the PCB layout process or how to wield today’s high-level EDA tools: "All I need to do is push the autorouter button, let the computer route all the signal traces, and get the layout 100% routed. It’s a no-brainer. Anyone can do it. It should take less than a few hours.”
Elementary Mr. Watson: Retro Routers vs. Modern Boards—The Silent Struggle on Your Screen
06/26/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonThere's a story about a young woman preparing a holiday ham. Before putting it in the pan, she cuts off the ends. When asked why, she shrugs and says, "That's how my mom always did it." She asks her mother, who gives the same answer. Eventually, the question reaches Grandma, who laughs and says, "Oh, I only cut the ends off because my pan was too small." This story is a powerful analogy for how many PCB designers approach routing today.
Elementary, Mr. Watson: PCB Routing: The Art—and Science—of Connection
06/11/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonMany people who design circuit boards love the routing part of the design. This is partially because we want to stop looking at the annoying rat's nest of connections, which seem to have no rhyme or reason at first glance. We want to get to something more exciting. Routing is the ultimate part of solving the puzzle. You take all the messy lines from the schematic and turn them into neat, organized paths.

Connect the Dots: Proactive Controlled Impedance
05/29/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsFrom data centers to smartphones, designers know that the ohms have it. Getting impedance right ensures all-important signal integrity and delivers high-performing boards. Our designers understand the importance of controlled impedance, but not everyone addresses it in their designs. The most common and important controlled impedance types we see include microstrip, stripline, embedded microstrip, and differential pairs.
