Averatek Announces A-SAP License Agreement with American Standard Circuits
January 28, 2020 | AveratekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Averatek Incorporated has announced American Standard Circuits as an A-SAP™ licensee. A-SAP™ is an advanced PCB manufacturing technology that enables feature sizes of 25 microns and below, effectively providing PCB designers with new opportunities to address the challenges of next-generation electronics.
“American Standard Circuits' RF expertise—in combination with our long-term, relationship-driven approach to customer development—will serve the PCB design community well as we learn to fully understand all of the possible benefits of this emerging technology. Our goal at ASC is to always be at the forefront of technology, and the A-SAP™ technology allows us to do that once again. We welcome the opportunity to work with the team at Averatek and redefining the future," said Anaya Vardya, president and CEO of American Standard Circuits.
“Averatek is delighted to be working closely with American Standard Circuits” said Haris Basit, CEO of Averatek. “ASC has demonstrated significant capability in high-performance and high-frequency PCBs and Averatek’s ultra-high-density A-SAP™ process represents a strong complementary capability to support next-generation electronics requirements.”
Averatek’s A-SAP™ is an advanced manufacturing process for printed circuit board fabrication with trace and space widths as narrow as 15 microns. This process can dramatically reduce the area, layer count, and weight of electronics systems as well as provide significant RF benefits. A-SAP™ has been designed to be easily integrated with traditional PCB manufacturing equipment and materials.

Critical Minerals: The New Power Play in Global Trade
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Access to critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing, and China’s monopoly of them, is increasingly under scrutiny, with gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge)at the forefront of this discourse. However, all critical minerals imported from China share a similar narrative, and understanding the implications of this dependency and the risks to both U.S. commercial and defense sectors has created an urgent need for a comprehensive electronics strategy to secure and diversify access to these vital minerals. In this candid interview, USPAE Executive Director Jim Will discusses the issues and the mitigation steps that must be taken to adequately address them.
Interposers, Substrates, and Advanced Manufacturing
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007I attend a lot of industry trade shows and conferences. Lately, during conversations with technologists, I’ve noticed that there is some confusion about what exactly constitutes an interposer. One question I hear every so often is, “Are all interposers substrates?” The short answer to that question is no. But some interposers are, in fact, full substrates.
