Tolerances

E3PCB has been implementing circuit boards fabrication procedures stringently conforming to IPC-compliant guidelines and regulations in order to ensure their highest reliability and best performance in our clients’ projects. Therefore, we have to cater to tight tolerances in PCB manufacturing process.

 

Specific tolerances for each detail of PCB printing are listed in the following tables.
