Technologies We Offer:

Depth Drill & Stacked Vias:

Precision drilling at controlled depths, combined with stacked vias, allows for reliable interconnections in multi-layer PCBs, optimizing space and improving signal integrity.

Edge Plating:

Copper plating along the edges of the PCB enhances conductivity and durability, providing better grounding, shielding, and mechanical strength for applications requiring edge connections.

Countersinks & Counterbore:

Custom holes with countersinks (angled edges) and counterbores (flat-bottomed holes) are used to fit fasteners flush with the PCB surface, improving the aesthetic and mechanical integration in enclosure designs.

Alternative Solder Resist and Ident Colours:

We offer a variety of solder resist and ident (legend) colours, allowing for greater customization and differentiation of PCBs, ideal for branding or simplifying assembly processes.

Depth Control Milling:

This precise milling technique enables selective removal of material to specific depths, ensuring accuracy in complex PCB designs such as cavities or multi-level boards.

Castellated Holes:

Castellated Holes are half-plated holes along the edges of the PCB that allow for easy soldering onto another PCB, commonly used for PCB modules or board-to-board connections.

Step Plating:

Step plating allows for varying copper thicknesses in different areas of the PCB. This is particularly useful for designs requiring thicker copper in high-current areas, while maintaining thinner copper in areas where it’s not needed, offering both flexibility and cost savings.
