March 30, 2020 | Lenthor EngineeringEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Lenthor Engineering, Inc., a California based designer, manufacturer and assembler of rigid-flex and flex printed circuit boards, announced last week actions being taken resulting from the COVID-19 advisories.
To continue in an operational status, Lenthor is using several exemption rules provided under both Support of Essential Businesses and the need to maintain internal essential operations for the business.
Many of the company's military and medical product customers sent letters of confirmation to these exemptions. With their support, Lenthor Engineering has been able to maintain full production in all areas of manufacturing while still allowing for proper social distance standards.
This action ensures that Lenthor is able to continue to move product and continue to deliver against the vital needs of our customers. They are fully open for business, ready and willing to support your requirements.
The company has enabled all of their front end sales support functions and personnel, sales, engineering, CAM engineering and production planning to be fully functional should they need to work remotely. This action will enable them to continue to serve all customer needs with new design reviews, technical support, quoting, accepting purchase orders, design reviews, DFMs and production planning.
All of the practical work place habits being emphasized by our health professionals are in place. These measures are being enacted in order to mitigate the potential risk of exposure to employees, their families and our community as a whole.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.

Happy’s Tech Talk #28: The Power Mesh Architecture for PCBs
05/07/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkA significant decrease in HDI substrate production cost can be achieved by reducing the number of substrate layers from conventional through-hole multilayers and microvia multilayers of eight, 10, 12 (and more), down to four. Besides reducing direct processing steps, yield will increase as defect producing operations are eliminated.
