Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

American Standard Circuits Installs 2 New Circuit Tech Lines
March 6, 2023 | American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

West Chicago PCB fabricator American Standard Circuits has recently purchased and installed two new lines from Circuit Tech International: The etch/strip cupric line for inner layers and the strip/etch/strip ammoniacal line for outer layers after pattern plating.
ASC President and CEO Anaya Vardya commented about the company’s investment in these 2 lines, “We are now commonly dealing with thin core materials down to 1 mil so handling is critical. We are also building boards where we need etching resolution below 0.002” lines and spaces which requires us to have equipment that can handle these parameters and evolve with us for the future. After a thorough evaluation of what was available on the market today, we decided that the Circuit Tech lines were best suited to fit all our needs.”
