Circuit Boards

We have come a long way since the early days when circuit boards were made from materials like Bakelite, Masonite, layered cardboard and even thin wooden planks in the 1920's. In today's world, circuit boards are an essential part of our everyday lives, although they are for the most part out-of-sight inside the many electronic products we use every day.

Advanced Circuits has been a pioneer in offering innovative services, resources, and advanced manufacturing capabilities to all industries including some of the most demanding such as the Medical, Aerospace, Defense, and Industrial markets with some of the most rigorous requirements and quality standards. Manufacturing everything from basic prototypes, to Microwave and RF circuit boards, we strive to provide you with the highest quality products and a range of options to ensure all of your needs are met.

Our circuit board manufacturing capabilities include:

Up to 40 Layer Boards
Up to 20 oz Copper
Multilayer RF Designs
Buried Chip Resistors
Blind and Buried Vias
0.00275 in Trace/Space
Air Pockets Between Layers
Via-in-Pad
Cavity Boards
Stacked Microvias
Laser Drilled Microvias (HDI)
Laser Direct Imaging (LDI)
Down to 0.3mm Pitch
Oversized Boards (up to 37 in. x 120 in.)

Same Day Turns^*
Weekend Turns^**
Same Day through 5 Day Turns for Standard Spec Boards
Same Day through 4 Week Turns for Custom Spec Boards

^*2 layer PCBs only. Must place your order by the 8:15am MST cutoff time. ^**Multilayer by 12pm MST and 2-layer designs by 3pm. MST

Circuit Board Assembly In-House

As a way to provide the most convenience to our customers, we offer in-house circuit board assembly services created specifically for quickturn, prototyping quantities with turn-times as quick as one day for both PCB fab and assembly. Our in-house circuit board assembly capabilities include Surface Mount Technology (SMT), Thru-hole, and mixed technology (SMT with Thru-hole) for single and double-sided placement. We support Fine Pitch components as small as 15 mil pitch, Passive Components as small as 0201 package, Ball Grid Arrays (BGA) as small as .4mm pitch with X-Ray inspected placements, and more.

Benefits of our circuit board assembly services include:

No set-up fees & no stencil charges
Latest MYDATA PCB assembly equipment
Files receive full CAM review prior to manufacturing
PCBs flow seamlessly from fabrication to assembly
