PCB Fabrication

These guys specializes in making printed circuit boards, and flexible printed circuit boards. Unlike our current US supplier, they have NO problems in supplying boards that meet the European Union RoHS directive which places stringent requirements on the allowable lead and heavy metal content.

 

Food for thought: The US is the ONLY 1st world country that doesn't have a RoHS-like environmental protection clause in place for electronics. Somehow, the Europeans, the Japanese, even the Russians and the Chinese, managed to have legislature either in place or about to take effect limiting the amount of heavy metals allowed in manufacturing of electronics components. And their manufacturing industry is doing just fine.
