What PCBasic does

PCBasic, legally Shenzhen JS Technology Co., Ltd., is a China-based contract manufacturer specializing in printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication and PCB assembly (PCBA), founded in 2011 and headquartered in Shenzhen. The company operates two production sites — the original Shenzhen factory and the newer Huizhou Super Factory — running six advanced SMT, DIP, and CNC production lines with a stated monthly fabrication capacity above 40,000 square meters and more than 1,500 orders processed daily. Service coverage spans 170+ countries, with on-time delivery reported at 98.3%, quality satisfaction at 99.6%, and a 0.2% complaint rate, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13485, and IATF 16949 certifications.

The company has progressively broadened from PCB-only work into a one-stop hardware production stack that now includes component sourcing, SMT and through-hole assembly, CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding, all coordinated through a proprietary MES system. Pricing is published and transparent — PCB prototypes start from $10 and full PCBA assembly from $30 — targeting prototype engineers, hardware startups, and small-to-medium OEMs alongside enterprise customers in industrial control, smart home/IoT, medical, automotive, and communications segments. The platform reports 576,000+ registered users and 108,000+ successful payments to date.

PCBasic's go-to-market is a hybrid model: an online self-service portal serving long-tail prototype demand globally, complemented by a sales office in Mexico for North American accounts and an R&D presence in Shanghai. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or external investors identified, and operates with a stated workforce of 350+ staff including 150+ engineers.

• Seeed Studio (Fusion PCB/PCBA): Shenzhen-based hardware enabler offering Fusion PCB fabrication and PCBA services with open-source ecosystem positioning, serving maker, startup, and SMB customers with similar prototype-to-small-batch manufacturing capabilities.
• PCBCart: China-based PCB fabrication and PCBA assembly provider with self-serve online platform, prototype-to-production offerings, and global SMB customer focus — directly comparable to PCBasic on product, model, and customer base.
• Elecrow: Shenzhen-based PCB fabrication, PCBA assembly, and electronics manufacturing services company targeting hobbyists, startups, and SMBs — competes with PCBasic in low-volume prototype and small-batch production globally.
• ALLPCB: Chinese online PCB and PCBA manufacturer offering fabrication, assembly, stencil, and component sourcing via self-serve platform — directly comparable to PCBasic on product breadth, GTM, and target SMB/prototyper customers.
• PCBWay: China-based PCB fabrication and PCBA services company with self-serve online platform, prototype-to-production range, CNC/3D printing, and component sourcing — directly competes with PCBasic in the same SMB/enterprise prototype segment globally.

Emerging players

• Tempo Automation: US-based digital PCBA manufacturer offering automated quoting and rapid prototyping for low-to-medium volume production — overlaps with PCBasic's prototype/short-run positioning but serves North American customers domestically.
• MacroFab: US-based PCBA platform with self-serve online quoting, factory network in North America, and target focus on SMB/prototype-to-volume customers — competes with PCBasic for Western SMB PCBA demand but with US-based production.
