Candor Builds PCB with Press-Fit Copper Coins, Selective Hard Gold
June 5, 2019 | Candor CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Toronto PCB fabricator, Candor Circuits has built boards with press fitted copper coins and selective hard gold.
Candor is able to press fit and plate over copper coin in the middle of PCB surface areas. This technique allows for thermal management in small profiles. With smaller density parts and higher power, thermal management requires a great deal of experience, know how, and a drive to innovate. Candor’s commitment to producing complex PCB boards quickly has allowed them to excel in thermal management.
Candor’s Technical Sales Manager Sunny Patel commented, “The copper coin selective hard gold plating is a process we can do in faster lead times allowing companies to prototype rapidly with peace of mind.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
