Circuitry/Plated Hole Repair

Circuitry and plated through holes can sustain damage during fabrication, assembly, or rework. At Circuit Technology Center, we use IPC-recommended techniques to restore full functionality and structural integrity to damaged circuit boards with precision and reliability.

Foil Jumper Method for Circuitry Repair
For damaged or open-circuit traces, we employ the Foil Jumper Method—an industry-approved process that uses pure copper circuit tracks with widths and thicknesses that match the original conductors. This technique replicates the original fabrication process more accurately than conventional jumper wires, ensuring optimal electrical performance and cosmetic integrity.

Eyelet Repair for Plated Through Holes
To restore continuity in damaged plated through holes, we install precision eyelets that match the plated-hole dimensions. For multilayer circuit boards with inner-layer connections, we use a refined IPC method that preserves layer integrity and prevents collateral damage to adjacent circuitry.

Expert Modifications and Circuit Upgrades
In addition to repairs, our technicians routinely perform complex modifications such as adding gold edge contacts, rerouting signal paths, isolating pads or vias, and even integrating new component footprints. Whether due to design revisions or fabrication errors, we deliver reliable, high-quality solutions tailored to your requirements.
