IEC's Prototype Lab is located inside of our 10,000 square foot Technology Center. We support surface mount, through-hole and BGA technologies. Utilizing highly capable equipment, a dedicated, cross-functional staff that focuses only on quick-turn manufacturing, IEC's Prototype Lab can meet or exceed your prototyping needs. Many types of jobs can be performed the same or next day.

The Prototype Lab's primary functions are rapid design validation, identifying DFM enhancement and cost reduction opportunities and facilitating a smooth transfer to production. The self-contained work-cell includes staff dedicated solely to prototype business. This includes program management, purchasing, process and test engineering. Projects can be turned around in 5 days, from receipt of material. 

The Prototype Lab's capabilities include: Flexible Material Procurement Consignment, Turnkey, Samples 3-5 Day Turn Standard (24hr Emergencies) BGA, uBGA, 0201's, Chip Scale packages Dedivcated Work Cell - Equipment and Personnel Formal DFM Analysis and Yield Prediction Three Step EXPERT Process Common Equipment to Volume Mfg "Super Proto"Line Configuration Maximizes Flexibility and Throughput Fixtureless Flying Probe Test

There is also direct access to the Materials Analysis Lab and Design Engineering where all three are housed inside IEC's Technology Center. 

The Technology Center is also able to run slightly larger quick-turn or pilot build size runs, that are more than a few piece prototype run, but still in pre-production process.
