How Summit Interconnect evolved into North America’ s go-to PCB manufacturing partner n
Striving to be a true partner to some of the world’ s most innovative, high-growth companies, Summit Interconnect( Summit) provides complete printed circuit board( PCB) manufacturing with speed, reliability, and flexibility. Established in 2016, Summit has grown significantly in just ten years, having secured long-term partnerships with customers across several industries, including aerospace and defense, quantum and datacom computing, automotive and transportation, medical devices, commercial space, and industrial and instrumentation.
To learn more about Summit’ s evolution, as well as the company’ s position within the industry, we speak with Shane Whiteside, CEO, who opens with an explanation of PCBs.“ Most components in electronic appliances are procured from a catalog, with technical data sheets that tell designers how to use them, so the overall product design is centered around the functionality of each part,” Shane explains.“ However, the one unique part of every electronic appliance is the printed circuit board; there’ s no‘ offthe-shelf’ option, as PCBs are instead made specifically for each application.
“ Our solutions include high-density rigid PCBs, RF and microwave boards, rigidflex and flex options, prototype assembly, and thermal management. We focus on high-technology and high-compliance PCBs; our customers are lower-volume but mission-critical partners with specific application requirements. To meet these demands, we use specialized materials and innovative technologies to produce ambitious, cutting-edge PCBs.”
