Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In 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.

Technic Releases TechniFlex LCL1000F/423M
September 20, 2017 | TechnicEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Technic has released the TechniFlex LCL1000F/423M, an extremely durable, direct imaging, fine pitch, matte black solder mask for flexible applications.
TechniFlex LCL 1000F/423M is ideally suited for demanding assembly conditions, including hot-bar soldering or multiple lead-free reflows. Extensive beta site testing of TechniFlex 423M has shown no cracking after multiple 180° bends, even when processing 12-micron polyimide substrate.
TechniFlex LCL 1000F/423M provides exceptionally fine resolution in a matte black product. With less than 10 microns of undercut, TechiFlex LCL1000F/423M consistently provides high resolution on 50-micron solder dams with excellent chemical resistance to ENIG, ENEPIG, Ag and Sn finishes. TechniFlex LCL 1000F/423M is available in two versions: U6 for direct imaging/manual exposure and U7 for either direct imaging/manual exposure or roll to roll coating operations.
"Today's cutting-edge flexible circuits require a strong yet flexible material that can withstand extremely high soldering temperatures and multiple bending cycles while still meeting very fine pitch requirements. Technic's new TechniFlex LCL 1000F/423M makes processing these advanced flexible PCBs possible," said Tom Horigome, global director of Imaging Products, Technic.
