IEC Sells ModVIA Expandable Plasma System from Nordson to APCT
October 11, 2022 | IEC Inc.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
APCT, headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, with four total manufacturing sites, is an industry leading manufacturer of Rigid, Rigid Flex, and Flex circuit boards. Together with IEC and Nordson, APCT recently installed two brand new Nordson ModVIA Expandable Plasma Treatment systems. One machine went to APCT’s Orange County location, whilst the other was installed in their Wallingford, CT, facility.
The ModVIA system utilizes high flux electrodes to create a uniform plasma treatment across the PCB panel, including desmear and etchback should it be required. This system can process Rigid and Flexible PCB panels and is suitable for blind via and through-hole applications. Finally, the system can utilize a wide range of gasses to ensure every customer’s specific needs.
