LPKF ProConduct®

In-house PCB through-hole plating without chemicals

The LPKF ProConduct® introduces revolutionary technology to produce plated through-holes, which does not require a plating tank or potentially hazardous processing chemicals. This compact system is extremely fast and easy to use. Its rapid parallel processing method delivers completely safe, reliable and thermally stable via plating results for double-sided or multilayer boards.

Circuit board prototypes can be easily fabricated in-house in a single day when the LPKF ProConduct® system is combined with an LPKF ProtoMat circuit board plotter.

In-house PCB prototyping gets your designs to market faster by eliminating production delays and high costs that can occur with outside vendors. It also makes your precious design data secure by keeping it under your control.

LPKF ProConduct® uses specially-developed plating technology to rapidly plate vias as small as 0.4 mm (15 mil) up to aspect ratio of 1:4. Even smaller holes are possible under special conditions. The entire process can be completed in just a few minutes for double-sided and even multilayer boards. The electrical resistance of LPKF ProConduct® plating is extremely low with 19.2 mOhm depending on the material thickness. For more information please read the technical data.
