Tensile Strength achieved with Candors Panel Plating
Tensile strength and elongation give you a measuring stick on how rugged your plating is. The higher these are, the more heating cycles your board can take. Candor easily passes conventional board shop tensile strength and elongation.
How Panel Plating Exemplifies Candor's Simplified Manufacturing Process

Process Control Advantage
(less monitoring, ease of use)
The Benefits of Panel Plating
Panel plating allows for even copper distribution across the whole manufacturing panel. This allows for consistent design fabrication easily. As a customer, you do not have to worry about prototype variation between designs as they are all processed the same way. The last thing you want to worry about is having too much plating in large through holes, and near failure plating in small vias. Uneven distribution is a critical failure point of pattern plating.
