Maintenance and calibration of lab equipment.
Providing Electronic Components for ECE lab classes.
Surface-mount soldering assistance.
The staff is also available to answer electrical engineering questions.
Electronic repairs from other campus units, including custom cable fabrication and repairs, equipment repairs, PCB assembly, and prototype PCB milling.
In-House PCB Prototyping Guidelines: Our in-house PCB milling service is ideal for simple prototype PCBs. It is not designed for complex circuits requiring high-density routing, fine-pitch components, or advanced manufacturing techniques.
If you would like us to mill a PCB for you, project files must be submitted in one of the following formats: KiCAD, EAGLE, CADSTAR, or EasyEDA.
Types of PCBs the shop is able to produce.Capabilities & Limitations:
Supports single-sided and two-sided PCBs only.
No solder-resist coating or silkscreening available.
No chemical through-hole plating is available.
Through-holes and vias can be reinforced using copper rivets (EasyContac system).
Four rivet sizes are available, with a maximum of 50 rivets per board.
Minimum trace width: 0.3mm (wider traces recommended for better reliability).
Minimum trace spacing: 0.3mm (larger spacing recommended where possible).
EasyContac Rivet-Style Through-Hole Plating System
When designing your PCB for use with the EasyContac system, please ensure that hole sizes and pad dimensions match the required specifications:
