Industries - Defense / Military

We have years of experience working with mil spec. defense requirements and the challenges they bring. This is where our flexible and technical team really shines! We can work to general requirements or complex, and product specific specifications for raw PCB (Printed Circuit boards), and complete PCB assemblies. We understand the detail that is required at every step of the process from quoting through shipping, meeting every special mil spec. requirement.

If your Mil Spec bare PCB's require manufacturing to MIL-P-55110 or other specifications, we will insure that all requirements and associated testing is completed.

Military and aerospace designs are demanding more product functionality than previous generations; consequently there is ever-more pressure on making Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assemblies robust enough to comply with growing functionality. That calls for implementing specific design and layout techniques, as well as 100 percent design-for-test (DFT) coverage. Thermal management also needs special attention, while high-frequency RF requires special PCB design and layout techniques.

There are several key design and layout considerations to make military and aerospace PCBs more robust. Those include using correct mil-spec components, designing in an extra cushion of current, maintaining the right aspect ratios, separating power and ground planes, keeping signals clean and properly shielded, verifying impedance calculations and performing pre-layout simulations, using proper termination techniques, adding an extra cushion for mechanical holes and dimensions, maintaining stack up considerations during PCB layout, keeping immaculate assembly notes, specifying an exact drill chart, and defining the proper board material.
