Why You Should Choose TTM PCB for Your Advanced Electronics Manufacturing Needs

Some electronics manufacturing companies specialize in using only a few processes, while others are versatile. While versatility is important, it is also imperative for the manufacturing company to offer specialized services that make it stand out from the crowd.

One of such companies is TTM. In addition to offering specialized PCB solutions, the company also prioritizes the timely delivery of the solutions.

This article is an in-depth review of the services offered by TTM PCB.

What is TTM PCB?

The full name is Time to Market, which underscores the company’s commitment to see to the faster delivery of electronic solutions to the customers.

At the core of TTM’s operations is the provision of advanced approaches to Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing. The investments in this regard include but are not limited to global field application engineering coverage, several design centers targeted at bolstering the development of advanced technology, as well as the possession of over 200 patents for advancing the manufacturing and designing of PCBs.

The Relevance of the TTM

Time to Market is the full name for the TTM PCB manufacturer. It underscores the company’s disposition to delivering manufactured circuit boards on time.

The following are some of the measures in place to make sure these circuit boards are readied for the market in the shortest time possible:

Quick-Turn PCBs

TTM specializes in both the provision of quick-turn and large volume PCB services. That way, it is simpler for the manufacturer to meet the demands on time.

One-Stop PCB Solutions

TTM is also able to meet the demands for higher volumes and complex circuit boards because of the use of one-stop advanced technology. Thus, the company handles most aspects of the circuit board design, without having to rely on third-parties to get the job done.

The Specialty Components Field of TTM Technologies

TTM Technologies specializes in two (2) core areas of electronics manufacturing – PCB fabrication and the combination of RF and specialty components.
