Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Sunstone Circuits Participates in Successful Fall Trade Shows
October 24, 2019 | Sunstone CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Sunstone Circuits, a printed circuit board (PCB) solutions provider for prototypes, medium-volume and production quantities, recently exhibited at PCB West and was a Gold Sponsor Presenter at NEDME.
NEDME, The NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo, is held in Sunstone’s own backyard every October in Beaverton, Oregon. Started over 15 years ago and originally called Octoberbest, NEDME has welcomed Sunstone as one of many exhibitors from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Produced and managed by The Oregon Electronics Manufacturers Association (EMA), this event connects local businesses with engineers, buyers, and reps in a fun and educational way. Sunstone’s own Mathew Stevenson contributed as a conference session speaker, focusing on PCB design pitfalls.
Meeting and talking with customers face to face is enlightening—a chance to clarify expectations and update customers with new and existing practices and capabilities.
“Through a conversation with a recent customer, we came to realize that not everyone knows that Sunstone can build PCBs up to 14 layers, produce higher production quantities and that we also hold certifications with ITAR, ISO, RoHS and more. Face to face is a perfect way to update these customers,” said Sean Hulin, marketing and sales manager.

Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
