Sunstone Circuits Enhances PCB Online Quote and Order Offerings
April 1, 2024 | ASC SunstoneEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Sunstone Circuits, a division of American Standard Circuits, is continuing efforts to make the PCB buying process as easy and frictionless as possible with enhancements to their online OneQuote order form. New features include online quoting and ordering of controlled impedance, update to display ET charges in the pricing matrix, and Gerber file drag-and-drop capabilities, making quoting PCB prototypes and production more efficient.
"We're dedicated to providing innovative solutions that simplify PCB design, and ultimately the board buying process," said Matt Stevenson, VP and General Manager at Sunstone. "These new features reflect our commitment to efficiency and quality of that process. Our customers’ time to market is always critical so with that in mind, our team is always looking for ways to cut costs and most importantly time in the PCB Prototype buying process. Our goal at ASC Sunstone is to be a truly trusted partner for engineers and designers, offering streamlined design-to-production workflows. We feel that these recent enhancements to that process are a strong effort towards achieving that goal and looking forward to even more updates currently in development.”

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
The Knowledge Base: A Conference for Cleaning and Coating of Mission-critical Electronics
07/08/2025 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseIn electronics manufacturing, there’s a dangerous misconception that cleaning and coating are standalone options, that they operate in different lanes, and that one can compensate for the other. Let’s clear that up now. Cleaning and conformal coating are not separate decisions. They are two chapters in the same story—the story of reliability.
