Description
Spirit Circuits is one of the
UK’s most innovative Printed Circuit Board manufacturers. Our
unique suite of services and overseas sourcing office means we
don’t just manufacture circuit boards, but offer you an extensive
complement of PCBs.
From our UK manufacturing
facility we offer our customers a truly diverse range of PCBs from
simple single sided through to complex
multilayers.
MPCBs (Metal Clad Printed
Circuits) are now a strategic offering at Spirit and extensive
investment has allowed us to extend our high service levels to this
product range.
All this is wrapped up with a
wealth of industry experience and exemplary technical support,
meaning we can cater for your every need and deliver it quickly,
efficiently and with
excellence.
Spirit Circuits Ltd are
passionate about delivering service beyond expectation. We are
committed to delivering high quality products on time and
constantly embracing new technologies and methodologies that enable
us to be at the forefront of our industry.
We continually invest in new
technologies, staff training and infrastructure within the company.
Our manufacturing facility is equipped with modern efficient
production equipment and has a highly experienced work force ready
to deliver your requirements on time.
Our standards for quality and
safety are of paramount importance and we are authorized by
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. to apply the UL Component
Recognition Mark. We are certified by the internationally
recognized ISO ***1 quality standard. In the absence of any
customer specified standards we will use IPC Printed Board Standard
(class 2) as our default quality standard. IPC-A***0 is recognized
globally and is used to determine the acceptability of PCBs in
terms of observable characteristics.
Waste reduction and
environmental compliance are key drivers for our business. We are
very strongly committed to “Lean Manufacturing” and follow “Lean”
principles throughout the whole business ensuring costs are
consistently kept to a minimum. Our stringent controls and
procedures allow us to work in a safe and compliant environment. In
***2 Spirit will achieve ISO ****1 accreditation.
We encourage young people
into our industry by supporting modern apprenticeships. Our
professional support also extends to industry trade bodies ICT
(Institute of Circuit Technology) and EIPC (European Institute of
Printed Circuits).
With our innovative services
and our open approach to business we strive to offer you the
shortest lead-times and the highest quality as
Standard!
Nobody is more serious than
Spirit Circuits about MPCBs.
As a leading UK PCB
manufacturer, Spirit Circuits have now included MPCBs as one of the
standard offerings from its UK manufacturing site and Asian
partners. MPCBs (Metal Clad Printed Circuits) or IMS PCBs
(Insulated Metal Substrate Printed Circuits) are typically
manufactured using either Aluminium or Copper as the base substrate
of the PCB. This can either be purchased as a proprietary material
from one of the many established suppliers or we can manufacture
material specific to your needs.
Our technical staff will work
with your designers and engineers at the very early stages of
design to ensure the materials selected will produce consistently
good results and produce good yields in
production.
The key advantage of a metal
substrate PCB is the heat management of the assembled PCB. The
metal becomes the principal component for heat removal from the
device. By using a MPCB better thermal efficiency is gained, thus
allowing removal of large heat sinks from the assembly, plus
possible downsizing of the design.
