IPC-6012 Class III PCB Manufacturing: 100% Made in the USA

When mission failure is not an option, everyday commercial board standards will not suffice. At PNC Inc., we specialize in advanced IPC-6012 Class 3 (Class III) rigid printed circuit board fabrication. Every single board is manufactured from concept to completion at our secure, ITAR-registered facility in Nutley, New Jersey—ensuring flawless execution for high-reliability military, aerospace, and critical medical electronics.

Zero Annular Ring Breakout Allowed

We maintain rigid drill-to-copper positioning controls to ensure compliance with strict Class 3 annular ring parameters. Our processing layout guarantees a minimum of 2 mil external and 1 mil internal annular rings with absolutely no external breakout permitted, protecting your vias from thermal stress fracturing.

Enhanced Plating & Barrel Fill Consistency

Our electroplated acid copper processes are calibrated to meet the increased demands of IPC-6012 Class 3 specifications. We enforce a strict 25 µm (1 mil) minimum hole wall copper plating thickness and achieve an accelerated 75% vertical barrel fill requirement during automated soldering configurations.
