Candor at the Forefront of Fabrication with Leading-Edge PCB Builds
August 29, 2016 | Candor IndustriesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Canadian circuit board fabricator Candor Industries continues to be a leader in cutting edge technology with a recent series of progressive board builds. Candor has successfully manufactured a run of two-layer, two-mil core with two-mil line and space, plated via boards with laser cutting.
Candor’s Technical Sales Manager Sunny Patel gave details about the build, “We created a 2-mil space board with 2-mil traces on flex core that was made possible through our extensive photoresist and etching capabilities. Our registration had to be very good due to the size of the board (.270”x.075”) and required laser cutting features that were .031” wide. Our development of 2-mil line and space boards continues and we are excited about working on future projects with equally challenging specs."
In addition to the 2-mil board, Candor also hit a technological milestone with via fills of 0.0066 RO4350B material, achieving 10 mi vias with non-conductive via fill.
Patel added, “Thin panels are generally challenging for conventional via filling machines and systems. We have developed advanced planarizing techniques that will fill these thin panels with one pass. Through these unique techniques, we have reduced the distortion that is often seen with regular processing.”
Looking to the future, Candor continues to improve their skill, process and technology in order to push the limits of PCB fabrication.

Smart Factory Insights: The Smart Business Case for Local PCB Manufacturing
09/27/2023 | Michael Ford -- Column: Smart Factory InsightsThe PCB has become a neglected component from the Smart assembly manufacturing perspective, wrongly regarded as just a “given” material. We need to put it right. PCB manufacturing needs to become Smart in order to make the local fabrication business model work as part of the holistic electronics’ “smarter, secure, and sustainable” approach—what I’m calling the new three Ss of manufacturing.

Connect the Dots: Best Drilling Practices for Better PCB Manufacturing
09/05/2023 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsDrilling is one of the most fundamental steps in the printed circuit board manufacturing process. Until the advent of the through-hole, PCBs were all single-sided with traces and components located on one side. With double-sided and multilayered boards so common now, a PCB without holes doesn't seem like a PCB at all. The drilling process creates the holes that connect the different layers of the PCB. Those holes allow for the connection of components. In fact, without holes, a double-sided PCB is just a coaster.
