PCBWay â PCB Fabrication & Assembly
openbooklet.com/s/pcbway-pcb-fabrication-assemblyopenbooklet.com/s/pcbway-pcb-fabrication-assembly@1.0.0GET /api/v1/skills/pcbway-pcb-fabrication-assemblyPCBWay is a PCB fabrication and assembly service based in Shenzhen, China. It is an alternative to JLCPCB with similar capabilities and pricing.
BOM (Bill of Materials) management for electronics projects â the primary orchestrator skill that coordinates DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC, element14, JLCPCB, PCBWay, and KiCad skills into a unified workflow. Create, update, and maintain BOMs with part numbers, costs, quantities stored as KiCad symbol properties. ALWAYS trigger this skill for any task involving component sourcing, pricing, ordering, distributor searches, BOM export, or fabrication preparation â even if the user names a specific distributor or fab house (e.g. "search DigiKey for...", "generate JLCPCB BOM", "order from Mouser"). This skill decides which distributor/fab skills to invoke and in what order. Also trigger on phrases like "what parts do I need", "order components", "how much will this cost", "export for JLCPCB", "find parts for this board", "cost estimate", "compare pricing", or "check stock".
DigiKey is the **primary source for prototype orders** (Mouser is secondary). Its API returns direct PDF datasheet links, making it the preferred datasheet source. For production orders, see `lcsc`/`jlcpcb`. For BOM management and export workflows, see `bom`.
One API covers three regional storefronts â same catalog, same datasheets, only pricing/stock vary by region:
Automated EMC risk analysis for KiCad PCB designs. Identifies the most common causes of EMC test failures using geometric rule checks, analytical emission formulas, and optional SPICE simulation.
JLCPCB is a PCB fabrication and assembly service based in Shenzhen, China. It is a sister company to LCSC Electronics (common ownership) â they share the same parts library.
Generate professional engineering documentation from KiCad project files.
LCSC is JLCPCB's sister company â they share the same parts library and `Cxxxxx` part numbers. Use LCSC for **production sourcing** (assembled boards from JLCPCB/PCBWay). DigiKey/Mouser are for prototyping. For BOM management and export workflows, see `bom`.
Mouser is the **secondary source for prototype orders** â use when DigiKey is out of stock or has worse pricing. For production orders, see `lcsc`/`jlcpcb`. For BOM management and export workflows, see `bom`. For datasheets, prefer DigiKey's API (direct PDF links) â Mouser blocks automated PDF d
Automatically generates and runs SPICE testbenches for circuit subcircuits detected by the `kicad` skill's schematic analyzer. Supports ngspice, LTspice, and Xyce (auto-detected). Validates calculated values (filter frequencies, divider ratios, opamp gains) against actual simulation results and prod
