Circuit frames for PCB repair can be custom laser-engraved to match the pads or trace areas requiring repair. Patterns on the frames can accommodate spaces/traces down to 0.025 mm. Designed for SnPb and Pb-free processes. Cutouts replace pads or traces on 1 oz copper PCBs. Come in epoxy and dry-film versions. Custom patterns can be laser-machined with lot sizes as low as one.
