ASC Sunstone Circuits Adds New Options to OneQuote While Maintaining Real-Time Pricing on Core PCB Features
October 16, 2025 | ASC Sunstone CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ASC Sunstone Circuits, a leading U.S. PCB manufacturer, today announced a significant expansion of its OneQuote online quoting tool, giving design engineers more control over complex PCB configurations — making it easier for the quote team to quickly clarify and verify specifications, reducing delays from manual quote reviews.
With the enhanced OneQuote platform, engineers can now customize advanced PCB manufacturing options directly within the quoting interface, giving the quote team the information they need to confirm specs early.
Engineers can now choose from these new options:
- Silkscreen Color Options: Choose from green, red, blue, orange, and purple for better visibility and branding.
- Surface Finishes: ENIPIG, Immersion Tin, Bare Laminate, and OSP now available.
- Panelization (Route w/ Score): Optimize manufacturing with greater accuracy in panelized layouts.
- Hole Quantity & SMD Count: Drill complexity and component density.
- Minimum Pitch: Precision design parameters defined directly in the quote.
- Via Plug Options: Soldermask filled, non-conductive epoxy, and conductive fills now selectable.
- Back Drill & Etchback: High-speed signal integrity features.
- Laser Routing, Edge Milling, Cavity Process: Advanced board shaping and embedding options.
- Copper Plating in Holes (1.5 mils): Enhanced conductivity and reliability.
- Hi-Pot Testing: Compliance and safety testing now part of the instant quote.
- Controlled Dielectrics & Cores Under 4 mils: High-frequency design support with clear specification visibility.
- Opt Out of Notes: Limit holds and reduce delays where the print notes don’t apply to your build.
Accurate Quotes. Greater Clarity.
Advanced PCB builds require extra dialog with a quoter and engineering team to confirm complex requirements. With this release, those details can now be captured directly in the quoting tool—providing the detail our team needs from the start to provide more precise and timely quotes.
“One of the biggest challenges in PCB quoting has been making sure non-standard requirements are clearly understood,” said Matt Stevenson, VP of Sales & Marketing at ASC Sunstone Circuits. “Our enhanced OneQuote tool allows engineers to capture those advanced specifications directly in the system. This gives our quoting team the clarity they need up front, ensuring greater accuracy and consistency from quote to production.”
Whether it’s a standard 2-layer board or a high-speed, impedance-controlled design, engineers can still move from concept to confirmed order in minutes—all from the Sunstone website.
