Our ability to fabricate and control the unique features
required in high frequency design has kept MCT among the top
suppliers of choice for customers working above 900 MHz. Our
typical fabrication range covers applications all the way to
40 GHz! MCT routinely demonstrates the ability to go beyond
producing just circuit boards; to producing “critical function
for high performance systems.”
Driven by the demanding requirements of our customers, MCT
has developed a highly specialized knowledge base used to
fabricate circuit boards on a variety of “soft” dielectric
materials made with PTFE (polytetraflouroethylene). Our
experience is that PTFE substrates require a comprehensive
manufacturing model that is capable of overcoming the
technical challenges associated with such dimensionally
unstable materials.
Our result is success in achieving the critical mechanical
requirements that deliver superior electrical performance at
high frequency!
Because the process and equipment requirements for
fabricating with PTFE are so specialized, we choose to focus
the majority of our time and talent on such circuit boards. We
only consider applications for rigid boards such as FR4 and
other thermoset high frequency materials when they are in
combination with PTFE or there are critical performance
features that require the circuit fabricator to “fuss” over
the build.
In fact, many of our customers are referred to us because
they are unable to find a mainstream board supplier who can
appropriately care for their designs during fabrication. At
MCT, we routinely provide that “special handling” necessary to
achieve the high quality and performance that our customers
demand.
Historically, we have always been willing to explore
leading edge design and manufacturing possibilities with our
customers. As a result, our technical capability has become
highly advanced and our new program methodologies more refined
over time.
MCT’s capability supports unique “one of a kind” laboratory
test vehicles and “first of their kind” advanced prototypes
for our customer’s newest products. MCT further assists
customers by providing Design for Manufacturability support so
that when it’s time to ramp production, the introduction is
smooth and cost effective.
We are currently responsible for manufacturing “mission
critical, sole source” hardware for several large OEM
customers and provide them with advanced function and
performance. In doing so, we enable these customers to excel
beyond and out compete their competitor’s rival product
offerings.
Finally, MCT offers Quick Turn Around Time (QTAT) services
for prototypes and small volume production builds. We
regularly fabricate production boards in quantities that range
from 10 per year to 500 per week!
