IEC's Prototype Lab is located inside of our 10,000 square foot Technology Center in Newark, New York. 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 engineering and  test engineering. Projects can be turned around in 5 days, from receipt of material. 

The Prototype Lab's capabilities include:

• Board size up to 14" X 18" standard (up to 18" X 20") capable
• BGA's - collapsiible (plastic, metal, micro) and non-collapsible (ceramic)
• 0402's, chip scale packages
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis and yield prediction with every prototype
• Flying probe testing, automated optical inspection (AOI) and X-ray analysis available

There is also direct access to the Advanced Materials Technology Lab, and Design Engineering which along with the Prototype Lab 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.
