PCB Capabilities for the Most Advanced Designs

Lamination

From simple 2-layer boards to highly complex stack ups, we have the ability to fabricate all types of printed circuit boards.

Thickness

Design and manufacturing factors usually determine the thickness of PCBs.

Drill and Mill

PCB drilling and milling creates holes, slots, and other cavities in an electronic circuit board.

Etch Features

Copper is one of the most important elements in printed circuit boards. The current carrying capacity of a PCB depends on the thickness of the copper trace.

Copper traces are made by using chemicals to etch or remove copper from the board except where the wired connections are present.

Inner and External Layers Print and Etch

Trace width and spacing requirements are based on the functionality of the circuit. They can affect electrical performance and signal integrity.

Soldermask

Soldermask is a thin layer of polymer that protects PCBs from oxidation and corrosion. It also helps avoid solder bridges and gives color to the board.

Legend

With more PCBs moving towards high-density, flex, and component miniaturization, the quality and readability of a legend is more important than ever.

Mechanical

Impedance Testing

Electroplating

The electroplating process deposits metal onto the surface of the circuit board and inside the plated through-holes. The most common plated metal is copper.

Finishes

The finish of a board, which is sometimes overlooked, is the interface between the board and the components that make the board function as desired.

Vias

Vias make electrical connections between layers on a printed circuit board. They can carry signals or power between layers. Summit specializes in advanced PCB technologies such as blind vias, buried vias, and via-in-pads.

Inspection Processes and Options

Thorough testing and inspection occurs throughout the production process to ensure problems are captured early on, ensuring high quality and yield.

Panelized Board Size

Due to our advanced operational capacity and nearly limitless flexibility, we can assemble more PCBs faster than anyone else in the industry.

Processes

Our assembly facility utilizes the latest technology and equipment, and we always keep tabs on industry trends and customer demand to make sure our capabilities meet your PCBA needs.

Components

We provide full turnkey PCB assembly and manufacturing to help our customers across the country complete their projects on time. Our close and authentic partnerships with the most reputable US-based component and board suppliers is at the heart of the process.

Soldering Types & Methods

Soldering is one of the most basic techniques to understand for PCB assembly. Serving as a connective and conductive glue, a solid solder brings continuity and functionality to any circuit board.

Inspection & Testing

Inspection is a critical part of the PCB assembly process. Without it, electronics manufacturers would never know for sure whether the PCB—and therefore the device—would work properly.

Quality Standards

Following quality standards ensures all aspects of a PCB design are correctly implemented and the end products perform exactly as expected.

Depanelization Methods

Once the boards are assembled and tested, they will need to be separated into their individual parts. There are many methods of depaneling PCBs, and which one you use depends on the type of panelization you chose.
