What Price Circuits does

Price Circuits LLC / Circuitronics LLC is a privately held, US-based advanced printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer operating from a Class 3 certified facility at 1300 Holmes Road, Elgin, Illinois. With approximately 30 years of operating history and 11–50 employees, the company produces high-reliability rigid PCBs up to 36 layers, flex circuits up to 12 layers, and rigid-flex boards up to 18 layers, alongside specialized Sequential HDI, RF & Microwave (using Rogers, Isola, Panasonic, and AGC materials), heavy copper (up to 7oz with 15:1 aspect ratio), and thermal management (metal core / metal back) capabilities. Production is supported by value-added engineering services including CAD layout, materials selection, design-for-manufacture guidance, and TDR-based controlled impedance testing to +/-7%.

The business model is a quote-based, project-driven B2B hardware sales operation. Pricing is bespoke for each job based on layer count, materials, tolerances, surface finish, and volume; orders are submitted via a dedicated quoting email or web contact form. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with inside-sales follow-through by the VP of Sales/Marketing and customer service team, supplemented by event presence and downstream referrals from contract manufacturers that specify Price Circuits as their preferred supplier. AS9100 (achieved 2023), ISO 9001:2015, ITAR (M23491), UL, and RoHS compliance certifications qualify the company for regulated, mission-critical programs, with aerospace & defense, medical, automotive & transportation, and telecommunications serving as the primary verticals.
