Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices 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.

ASC Sunstone Circuits and Screaming Circuits Partner to Launch Online Assembly Parts Ordering
April 21, 2025 | ASC SunstoneEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In a major step toward simplifying the PCB manufacturing and assembly process, ASC Sunstone Circuits and Screaming Circuits are proud to announce the launch of a new online assembly parts ordering feature, now available through Sunstone.com. This enhanced capability allows customers to source assembly components as part of their PCB order, creating a fully integrated experience from bare board fabrication to finished assembly.
By bringing together ASC Sunstone Circuits’ proven onshore PCB manufacturing with Screaming Circuits’ industry-leading assembly services, this partnership delivers a faster, more reliable path from design to production—all under one streamlined workflow.
“This integration makes it easier than ever for engineers and designers to move from a PCB layout to a fully assembled board with just a few clicks,” said Matt Stevenson, VP & General Manager at ASC Sunstone Circuits. “Together with Screaming Circuits, we’re eliminating complexity and giving customers the speed and flexibility they need to bring their ideas to life.”
“This is about building a true end-to-end solution,” added Jered Stoehr, CEO at Milwaukee Electronics/Screaming Circuits. “We’re combining our strengths to create a smarter, more intuitive process for every customer—whether you’re working on a prototype or ready for production.”
Key benefits of the new integration:
- Streamlined Ordering – Order parts for assembly directly during your PCB order on Sunstone.com.
- Accelerated Turnarounds – Speed up both prototyping and production with integrated services.
- Reliable Component Sourcing – Access high-quality components from trusted sources, managed within the ordering workflow.
- Complete PCB Solution – From fabrication to full assembly—now easier and more connected than ever.
This launch represents a continued commitment by both companies to simplify the design-to-assembly process and better serve engineers, startups, and manufacturers with time-sensitive and quality-critical projects.

High-frequency EMC Noise in DC Circuits
05/29/2025 | Karen Burnham, EMC UnitedEMC isn’t black magic, but it’s easy to understand why it seems that way. When looking at a schematic like that in Figure 1, it looks like you’re only dealing with DC signals all across the board. There’s a 28 VDC input that goes through an EMI filter, then gets converted to 12 VDC power. Except in extremely rare circumstances involving equipment sensitive to magnetostatic fields, DC electricity will never be part of an EMC problem.
