Reading time ( words)

American Standard Circuits CEO Anaya Vardya announced recently that his company has officially received its military qualification for flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards: MIL-PRF- 50884F and MIL-PRF-31032C, QPL/QML Product Assurance Level, FSC 5998: Cage Code 4AA34: CN056313, VQ (VQE-17-031438).

Building on the MIL-PRF-31032 first awarded in 2006, ASC has expanded the scope of its military qualification to include flex and rigid-flex circuits. ASC has previously been approved for FR-4, polyimide, GF-homogeneous hydrocarbon/ceramic and GF-homogeneous hydrocarbon/ceramic mixed-base materials.     

“This has truly been a team effort with everyone in the company contributing," said Vardya. "This certification is key to meeting our goal of being the industry’s leading independent provider of flex and rigid-flex PCBs. This quality achievement, in addition to our previous MIL qualifications and our AS9100C certification last year, demonstrates the company’s 100% commitment to the military and aerospace market segment."
