Printed Circuit Boards

PCB Services

Printed circuit boards are at the very heart of today’s technological industry. They are used in every aspect of our lives, in telephones, amplifiers, computers, the automotive industry, medical equipment and almost every electronic appliance. With rapid advances in technology, electronic components must run faster and more efficiently, creating pressure to keep pace with customers’ demands in a changing market.

This is why PCB fabricators and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) share the same concerns. Manufacturers want reliable, low cost printed circuit boards that meet even the most critical design requirements, including high frequencies, fast speeds and heat dispersion. As a supplier as well as a PCB assembler, BPC Electronics LTD is committed to providing quick production, on-time deliveries and competitive prices on consistently reliable circuit boards that users can depend on time and time again.

    Our Services:

  • LED PCB
  • FLEXI RIGID PCB
  • FR4 PCB
  • COPPER CORE PCB

Our PCB fabrication facilities are UL+ISO-9001 certified, capable of producing single-sided PCBs, double-sided and multilayer circuit boards (up to 12 layer) using FR4, CEM-3 and polyimide materials. We can accept a wide variety of PCB design file formats including Gerber, Protel and AutoCAD.

Our PCB Services

We provide the following PCB services mentioned below:

  • LED PCB

    BPC Electronics LLP has been working closely with manufacturers of LED based products for nearly a decade.

  • FLEXI RIGID PCB

    Some printed circuit boards are designed to be very or slightly flexible, using polyimide film technology.

  • FR4 PCB

    Over eighty percent of the PCBs we supply are made from FR-4 material. FR-4 is the grade designation for glass reinforced epoxy laminate PCBs.

  • COPPER CORE PCB

    Our expertise is in producing reasonable priced, heavy copper PCBs for applications as diverse as power converters and welding equipment.

Janet Hogg joins Leicester Circuits

17th October 2018

We at Leicester Circuits are pleased to announce that we have secured the services of Janet C Hogg as part of our sales team. Janet is well known within the PCB circles, and when she left the industry last year there was both a heartfelt sigh and almost mourning as people began to miss her mirth and merriment. I am glad to report that normal service has been resumed and her customers can look forward to more madness and an overall improved sense of wellbeing for 2013. Of course we couldn’t have secured Janet without also employing Jolly Ollie as our Company Mascot!

National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham. June 13th & 14th 2012. EuroLED 2012 again delivered the intentions of the organisers: a well attended show with over 80 stands and visitors from all over the world. Apart from Leicester Circuits the exhibition hall hosted exhibitors featuring commercial, industrial, automotive and military LED lighting systems from the UK and Europe, several from the Far East, as well as suppliers of materials and components, testing and measuring equipment. The Leicester Circuits stand was a hive of activity with the LC team of Mike Carrington, Alan Maycock and Scott Williams dealing with dozens of technical and commercial enquiries from visitors across the globe. Most in demand from the LC product range were metal backed printed circuit boards, ideal for demanding LED and automotive applications.
