At ProtoLab SRL, we provide high-quality, application-specific PCB design services for clients developing embedded electronics, EVSE systems, sensor platforms, and industrial control boards. Whether you’re building your first prototype or preparing for a small production run, we design PCBs that are reliable, testable, and ready to move forward.
From schematic capture to layout and DFM (design for manufacturing), our small, agile team ensures that every board we design meets your performance, size, and production-readiness goals.
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design is the process of turning an electrical schematic into a physical layout that connects all components with copper traces. This layout determines signal integrity, power delivery, EMI performance, manufacturability, and physical fit.
At ProtoLab, PCB design includes:
Schematic capture with validated components
Stackup planning and signal layer definition
Trace width, clearance, and impedance tuning
Power distribution network layout
Grounding and decoupling strategy
Design for assembly (DFA) and design for test (DFT)
We work in close collaboration with your product team to ensure that the design supports not just electrical function, but mechanical integration, firmware constraints, and compliance requirements.
Local support and communication (Romanian, Russian, English)
Deep knowledge of embedded hardware design, not just layout
Rapid, iterative approach aligned with prototype timelines
Emphasis on testability, modularity, and manufacturing readiness
Flexible engagement—design-only, co-design, or full prototyping bundles
We begin by creating or reviewing your schematic:
Component selection based on availability and certification
Voltage domains, tolerances, and interfacing logic
Input/output mapping for embedded firmware use
Library creation or import for uncommon parts
Pinout verification and net labeling
We can work from:
Client-provided schematics
Hand-drawn diagrams
Functional block descriptions
We then convert the schematic into a production-ready PCB layout:
Two- to six-layer designs
Signal and power trace routing
Differential pair and impedance control (if required)
Grounding planes and isolation strategies
Thermal reliefs and heat dissipation planning
Clearance verification for certifications (e.g., CE, UL)
We follow IPC guidelines and optimize for hand assembly, reflow, or hybrid builds based on your needs.
All designs are reviewed with manufacturing in mind:
Panelization options
Fiducial, tooling, and test point placement
Solder mask expansion and paste layer setup
Silkscreen clarity and polarity markings
BOM optimization and sourcing support
We can tailor the output for local Moldovan PCB houses, EU-based manufacturers, or global fabs like JLCPCB and Aisler.
Every PCB design project includes:
Gerber files for fabrication
Drill files, paste, and stencil layers
3D step model of the board
BOM with sourcing options
Assembly drawing with component placement
Design files in Altium (or other compatible formats)
Optional: netlist, test plan, or test jig documentation
Altium Designer for schematic and layout
Solidworks for 3D integration and component modelling
LTspice or Altium for circuit simulation
JLCPCB for low-cost prototype runs
Partnered PCB production services for short runs and mass production
We handle all aspects of system integration in-house—including user interface design, mechanical enclosure integration, and embedded firmware development—to ensure your PCB fits seamlessly into the complete product.
Whether you require a rapid-turn prototype or a production-ready PCB layout, ProtoLab SRL offers reliable, detail-oriented design services tailored for small-batch and custom hardware development.
