Reading time ( words)

American Standard Circuits CEO Anaya Vardya announced that his company has purchased a new EMMA Flying Probe (model E4M6151) Electrical Tester.

This model is a high-speed prober from Microcraft’s new EMMA generation, developed for testing denser and complex PCBs with high-speed and high-accuracy. This includes a hi-pot test feature. This purchase is representative of American Standard Circuits continued effort to be the most complete PCB solution of any independent PCB fabricator in North America. Their dedication to providing their customers with the fastest high-technology solution is exemplified by the more than $2.5 million of equipment they have purchased in the past 18 months.

Vardya commented, “We are going full speed ahead towards our goal of providing our customers with a complete custom printed circuit board solution and this acquisition is another example of that. We are focused on adding/upgrading technology in every facet of PCB manufacturing. We are determined to make our customers’ lives easier by being one of the few independent PCB fabricators in North America to provide a complete portfolio of technology solutions.”

Hot on the heels of the news that U.S. President Biden signed a presidential determination in support of the printed circuit board industry, I-Connect007’s Nolan Johnson spoke with David Schild, executive director of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America, about some of the expected implications. David points out, among other things, that this signals increased momentum with government and defense to support U.S.-based printed circuit manufacturing, and the possibility that a renewed interest in the industry by private financing could possibly follow.

The I-Connect007 team paid a visit to American Standard Circuits in West Chicago, Illinois. While there, we talked at length with CEO Anaya Vardya about the issues on his mind as he pushes technology, expands his floor space, and considers the implications of the CHIPS Act, staffing issues, and what’s happening in China.

At a recent industry conference, technical editor Pete Starkey caught some time with Ventec’s Mark Goodwin and Didier Mauve. In this conversation, Mark and Didier discuss Ventec’s work to curate their product offerings into functional categories based on function and target application. The pair also share their thinking on markets which they see as driving material development work. When material performance becomes an integral part of the PCB’s performance specifications, the traditional way of categorizing materials may not do the job.
