Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

American Standard Circuits and Sunstone Now Offering Online Flex PCB Quoting
October 1, 2024 | American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Anaya Vardya President and CEO of American Standard Circuits and ASC Sunstone Circuits announced that his company will now be offering their customers the convenience of Instant Online Quoting for Flex PCBs through Sunstone’s OneQuote form.
Sunstone and American Standard Circuits have long been known for simplifying the PCB ordering process. Taking another step in this direction, flex PCB enthusiasts will now be able to enjoy the convenience of online quoting and ordering for their flex projects. Sunstone has long offered online quoting and ordering of Rigid PCBs and has recently begun quoting and ordering of Flex PCBs too. The company will be providing instant online quotes for select Flex PCB options including single sided and double-sided flex boards, with or without stiffeners and coverlay materials. They will also be offering seamless order integration from custom flex quotes to placing orders with minimal friction. The online quoting form will allow for input and selections for more complicated flex designs to easily begin a customized RFQ.
Mr. Vardya stated, “Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to work with us. We strive to offer solutions to allow them to interact with us in a variety of ways that will suit their needs. It was a logical transition from offering instant online quoting for rigid PCBs to offering the same convenience for our flex PCB customers. Flex designs were a tougher nut to crack due to the uniqueness and complexity of that product type, but we knew it we could get it done and extend that same benefit to the flex customers. After working on this new initiative for over a year, we are now pleased to be able to offer this easy option quoting and order placement to our Flex PCB Customers.”

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
