With the recent acquisition of Advanced Circuits and the subsequent acquisition of San Diego PCB Design, APCT has become the second largest printed circuit manufacturer in North America offering design, fabrication and assembly.
The design team is experienced and has the ability to offer its expertise in a number of design layout services: standard through-hole, high-density interconnect (HDI), signal/power integrity design, dense high-speed digital, and RF and rigid-flex. The IPC certified designers deliver accurate, high-reliability PCB layout designs to hundreds of customers across North America.
The assembly operation is located within the ACI headquarters in Aurora, Colorado. At this time, assembly is viewed as a “value add” to their customer base only. Offerings include both through-hole and surface mount capabilities, supporting prototype quantities of standard technology. All assembly is completed In-House.
Also available to the customer base is kitted/consigned, partial turnkey and full turnkey.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/28/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007I’ve spent my week recovering from a busy and interesting week in Anaheim for the 25th IPC APEX EXPO. I think back to my first APEX EXPO, and the changes since then are too numerous to count. I first attended in 2004, also in Anaheim, back when there was almost no design content in the conference or expo portions of the show. It was just a few years after the downturn, and attendees and exhibitors alike were skittish, almost afraid to show confidence in our industry. A few unemployed design friends handed out copies of their resumes. Travel budgets were still down, and the aisles weren’t exactly packed with traffic.
