Accurate Circuit Engineering Provides Renowned Service with Free NRE and Electrical Test
April 25, 2017 | Accurate Circuit Engineering (ACE)Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Santa Ana based circuit board fabricator, Accurate Circuit Engineering continues to provide their customers with top tier service with programs like their long offered free non-recurring engineering service and electrical test on all orders, with the exception of mil spec certified and offshore parts.
Accurate Circuit Vice President Brandon Lowe commented, “In addition to providing quality, on time product, we are constantly striving to keep our pricing competitive and find ways to stand out from the crowd. One of these ways was to start offering free NRE and electrical test. I feel this gives ACE a competitive edge. It’s a tremendous value add for our customers, as I am often told that we are one of the only board shops that truly offers these services for free, not just rolling the price into the unit cost. When we say free we mean free.”
Lowe went on to explain that there are a few other special circumstances where NRE fees can apply, however, most of the time these services are provided free of charge.

Study on Resonance Mitigation in Metallic Shielding for Integrated Circuits
07/08/2025 | Article by Maria Cuesta Martin, Victor Martinez, Vidal Gonzalez Aguado, Würth ElektronikInherent cavity resonant modes often lead to significant degradation of shielding effectiveness, responsible for unwanted electromagnetic coupling. Cavity resonant modes of the metal shielding enclosure can produce two adverse problems: the mutual coupling among different RF modules and shielding effectiveness reduction of the metal enclosure. The cabinets serve to shield certain components from electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, these cavities present some resonance peaks at 5 GHz, making it impossible to use them at higher frequencies.
