Circuit Board Repair

PCB repair refers to the bringing the physical damage which has been done to a PCB-namely pad or trace lifting, laminate repair, eyelet replacement to name a few-back to a point to where the printed circuit board can function based on the original design requirements. Printed circuit board repair skills and processes require lots of patience and a high degree of hand-eye coordination. It is more like glass blowing, that is more art than science. Many times, PCB repair needs to be performed when adverse conditions have been experienced by the electronics assembly such as being dropped, or a hand tool was dropped on the PCB. In addition, there are times when pad or trace repair modifications, as part of the printed circuit board repair process, need to be accomplished on PCBs during the prototyping phase in order to bring a board “up”.

Unique Equipment for PCB Repair Services

BEST has the greatest variety of equipment for PCB repair. We have several lasers which can cut, ablade, scribe or perform selective solder mask removal on printed circuit boards. In addition, there are numerous high-speed drilling and machining capabilities on site which will allow us to perform specialty printed circuit repairs. We even have a precision micro-ablation set up in order to remove different kinds of coatings prior to performing a printed circuit board repair. All of this adds up to the BEST capability of printed circuit board repair services-no matter what problem you throw at us.

Quality

BEST knows that you need someone to trust with your printed circuit boards requiring PCB repair. We are ISO registered and have been audited by some of the largest firms which demand nothing but the best-GE, Caterpillar, Motorola, Samsung, Northrop Grumman and Flextronics to name a few. All of our repairs are performed by IPC 7721 certified technicians with 10+ years of PCB repair experience. Not only with the technicians who perform the printed circuit repairs inspect their workmanship but our QC department inspect all of their workmanship as a secondary check –whether it is a single piece or thousands of the same printed circuit board repair.
