Rush PCB

What Rush PCB does

Rush PCB Inc. is a privately held, US-based printed circuit board manufacturer and electronic manufacturing services provider headquartered in Milpitas, California (Silicon Valley). Founded in the late 1990s, the company operates as a fully integrated fabricator and assembler, handling both PCB production and end-to-end assembly in-house at its US facility. Its core technical scope spans rigid, flex, rigid-flex, HDI, multilayer (up to 40 layers), high-frequency, and exotic-material boards, supported by laser-drilled micro-vias, blind/buried vias, controlled impedance, ENIG/ENEPIG surface finishes, and BGA/through-hole/SMT assembly. Supporting services include box build, custom cable and wire harness, sheet metal fabrication, soft gold plating, PCB rework, and turnkey parts procurement through authorized distributors.

The company's commercial positioning is anchored on rapid quick-turn prototyping — with assembly turnaround as fast as 24 hours — and a dual go-to-market motion combining direct enterprise sales with a self-serve online quote-and-order platform. Pricing is quote-based and pay-as-you-go across prototype through production runs (optimized up to 5,000 boards), with introductory offers for new customers and no NRE or contract minimums. The customer base of 300+ active accounts spans aerospace and defense, medical devices, telecommunications, automotive, industrial, semiconductor, and consumer electronics end-markets, with named marquee logos including NASA, Sandia National Laboratories, Google, Nvidia, GE, Fitbit, Intersil, Fairchild Semiconductor, and Linear Technology. The company maintains certifications across ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, AS9100:2016, ITAR, UL, IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, and RoHS, and is adopting the NIST 800-171 cybersecurity framework — qualifications that gate entry into regulated aerospace, medical, and defense verticals. Ownership is founder-held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or M&A activity.

Direct peers

• MacroFab: MacroFab operates a digital PCB assembly marketplace connecting customers with US-based EMS partners. Comparable in self-serve online quoting and turnkey assembly offering, though more marketplace than pure manufacturer.
• Tempo Automation: Tempo Automation is a San Francisco-based quick-turn PCB assembly and prototype manufacturer with a digital self-serve platform. Direct competitor to Rush PCB in Silicon Valley prototype and small-batch assembly.
• Sierra Circuits: Sierra Circuits is a California-based quick-turn PCB prototype and assembly shop offering rigid, flex, HDI, and multilayer boards with online ordering. Directly comparable to Rush PCB in geography, customer profile (Silicon Valley engineers), and quick-turn positioning.
• American Standard Circuits: American Standard Circuits is a US-based PCB manufacturer offering rigid, flex, rigid-flex, RF/microwave, and metal-backed PCBs. Comparable in product breadth and emphasis on US-based manufacturing for medical, aerospace, and industrial customers.
• Advanced Circuits: Advanced Circuits is one of the largest US quick-turn PCB prototype manufacturers, offering rigid, flex, RF, and metal-core boards with online quoting. Comparable business model and target customer base to Rush PCB at slightly larger scale.
• Bay Area Circuits: Bay Area Circuits is a Fremont, CA-based PCB prototype and low-volume manufacturer specializing in quick-turn rigid, flex, and HDI boards. Closest geographic and product-line competitor to Rush PCB among US quick-turn shops.
• Sunstone Circuits: Sunstone Circuits is a US-based quick-turn PCB prototype and assembly provider with a strong online self-serve quoting platform (Sunstone PCB123). Directly comparable in quick-turn, SMB/engineer customer focus, and online ordering flow.

Broad incumbents

• IEC Electronics: IEC Electronics is a US-based contract electronics manufacturer serving aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial markets with PCB assembly, box build, and cable harness. Larger-scale incumbent serving many of the same regulated verticals as Rush PCB.
• Sanmina: Sanmina is a global Tier-1 EMS provider offering PCB fabrication, assembly, and box build across communications, medical, automotive, and industrial. Overlaps with Rush PCB at the assembly and box-build layer but operates at much higher volume and scale.

Emerging players

• JLCPCB: JLCPCB is a China-based, very-low-cost quick-turn PCB prototype and assembly provider with global online ordering. Represents the price-pressure competitor for Rush PCB on commodity boards while lacking US-based service and certifications.
