Double-Sided FR4 SMT PCB for Instrumentation

A client from the instrumentation industry contracted us to manufacture a custom double-sided printed circuit board (PCB) used within an electronic instrumentation application. This PCB design utilizes simple surface mount technology. Meeting client specifications, our company manufactured 25 circuit boards for this client.

To begin this project, we pulled all the necessary laminates from stock and drilled all necessary holes. Direct metallization was performed to produce conductive hole walls. We also deburred the PCBs, providing a smooth surface, and carried out primary imaging.

After imaging, the PCBs were plated in copper, then solder, and finally etched to remove excess copper from panels. We also applied all LPI soldermask and silkscreen graphics to the PCB. Holding tolerances as tight as ± 0.005″, we manufactured these PCBs to measure 10.5″ x 8″. Meeting high industry standards for both quality and performance, all finished units were vacuum packed and shipped to our client’s facility in New York.
