Factors that influence PCB price PCB manufacturing involves advanced technologies that improve component sizes, track reduction, and board reliability. Several factors influence the cost of PCBs, such as material quality, number of layers, surface finish, delivery time, board size, process technology, and production standards. Material costs vary based on quality and tolerance requirements, while adding more layers increases production complexity and cost. Surface finishes like immersion gold (ENIG) are more expensive due to longer production times and higher material costs. Delivery time also affects pricing, with faster turnaround times incurring higher costs. Specific manufacturing requirements, such as compliance with IPC Class 3 standards or special board outlines, can further increase the price.
