Epec Now Offering PCB Layout and Design Services
July 21, 2017 | EpecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Epec Engineered Technologies, one of America’s oldest printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers located outside of Boston, Massachusetts, is now offering PCB layout and design services to their customers.
Founded in 1952, Epec has a long history with circuit boards and the PCB industry. Over the past 65 years, Epec has worked on countless circuit board parts for some of the top tier OEMs in the electronics industry. From having PCBs on the Apollo 11 spaceflight, which landed the first humans on the Moon, to their recent advancements in heavy and extreme copper circuit boards, Epec’s sixty-five year history of innovation has truly made them a thought leader amongst the electronics community.
Ed McMahon, CEO of Epec, said, “We have been offering PCB layout and design services a while now, we just never had a large demand for it. In the past when a customer came to us looking for PCB design help, we wouldn’t turn them away; it was just not an advertised offering in our product line.”
Epec’s PCB layout and design services encompass a full design flow including rules driven designs, schematic capture, library development, database construction and verification, signal integrity/design verification, EMI checking and many others.
McMahon added, “We are now seeing more and more companies come to us to help them with their circuit board layout needs. Having the resources in-house allows us to be an extension of our customers engineering teams. We’ve also seen the benefits of customers having their PCB layout and design done by the same company that will be manufacturing their boards as it helps to reduce cost by only designing exactly what they need.”
As Epec continues to expand their PCB supply chain and services, they do so with one goal in mind; to provide their valued customers what they need and when they need it.

Global PCB Connections: Following DFM Rules Leads to Better Boards
12/18/2024 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsAs a PCB field applications engineer, ensuring smooth communication between PCB designers and fabricators is one of my frequent challenges. A critical part of that dialogue is design for manufacturing (DFM). Many designers, even experienced ones, often misunderstand or overlook important DFM considerations. They may confuse design rules with manufacturing minimums, leading to technically feasible designs that are difficult or costly to produce. In this column, I will clarify some common DFM guidelines and help designers understand the difference between “design rules” and “minimums” while sharing best practices that will simplify the production process and ensure the highest quality PCB.

OKI Develops PCB Technology with Stepped Copper Coin Insertion to Achieve 55 Times Better Heat Dissipation in Outer Space
12/12/2024 | BUSINESS WIREThe OKI Group printed circuit board (PCB) business company OKI Circuit Technology has successfully developed multilayer PCB technology with stepped copper coin insertion to achieve 55 times better heat dissipation compared to conventional PCB. The stepped copper coin is offered in two types, circular and rectangular, to suit the shape of the electronic component mounted on the PCB. OTC is working to develop mass-production technologies with the aim of introducing PCBs incorporating this new technology into markets for compact devices or devices used in outer space or other environments where air cooling technology cannot be used.
Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Plating Process Overview
12/12/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsIn this installment of Fresh PCB Concepts, Mike Marshall takes the helm stating: PCBs have been the platform for the interconnection of electronic components for decades. Because of process costs and other constraints, such as mechanical properties or size limitations of the alternatives, PCBs will remain the standard low-cost interconnection technology. Rapidly increasing performance and functionality requirements of wireless and high-speed devices have challenged the development and implementation of new manufacturing solutions.
