Amphenol Invotec introduces automated copper plating line

Amphenol Invotec Limited has announced further investment in its copper plating capability, following the installation and commissioning of an additional automatic plating line at its Tamworth facility.

With the growth in sequential PCBs, increasing demands for copper filled microvia and conductive resin filled vias Amphenol Invotec has increased the copper plating capacity in order to support these demands.

The new automatic line will almost double capacity for Panel Plate, Pattern Plate and more than double Copper Via Fill, and, will run in parallel to the existing automatic plating line.
