RF pool
RF pool High Frequency Board Service
Made in Europe
Eurocircuits’ PCB RF pool service offers designers of High Frequency Board the cost benefits of order-pooling.
RF pool covers a broad spectrum of technology including 2 types of material, 2- and 4-layer PCB’s plus a range of build-up options including mixed RF and FR4, all at acceptable prices.
For other RF requirements, upload your data via the Ask for quotation box for our engineers to evaluate.

*Notes
- Subject to design meeting our RF pool manufacturing and assembly specification and component availability.
- The price cannot be automatically calculated for a PCB containing more than 200 BOM lines or 1000 component placements, our engineering department will evaluate and send you an offer usually within 24 hours.
- These conditions are available in our calculator/Visualizer and will only be confirmed in our order confirmation.
