Printed circuit boards

Entech Electronics provides quality PCB, printed circuit board Manufacturing. Located in Adelaide Australia their PCB manfucaturing and other services are ahead of the competition.

As a full service printed circuit board supplier, Entech Electronics offers a complete line of products and services, from low volume, quick-turn prototype manufacturing to medium and high volume production. We offer a complete capability to meet virtually any requirement, ranging from single-sided through to 26 layers. Manufacturing capability for single, double sided and multilayer printed circuit boards. Where tighter tolerances are required then these must be referred to Entech's Customer Liaison Engineers.

Entech Electronics offers cost effective and economical laser cut stencils for direct printing of solder paste on interposers and flip chips. The laser equipment is computer driven and specifically designed to cut through metal plates. The equipment used consists of the laser head, motion orientation system and computer software. All of these things make stencil production more accurate, efficient and less time consuming. The laser head produces a focused beam to heat, melt and vapour the material to create the cut the required pattern. With the increasing application of SMT assembled Fine Pitch, conventional laser stencils cannot meet all customers demands. Electroetching laser stencils are simply etched by acid liquid after being laser cut. This removes all burrs and smoothes hole walls. During this process the hole size and stencil thickness does not change and the high precision of being laser cut is kept. This is ideal for fine spacing and accurate solderpaste results.

Entech Electronics offers a complete range of silicon keypads to suit a variety of end-user applications. Technologies available include laser etched, multi-coloured, wear-resist coated and plastic feel keypads and keycaps. Our keypads can also incorporate a wide range of requirements in tactile feel, switch travel, endurance characteristics, aesthetic appeal, plastic keycaps and contouring.

Laser etched keypads
Laser etched keypads are produced using translucent coloured silicones with printed keytops, which are sprayed with silicone paint. After curing, the paint is laser etched to expose the translucent ink below. When backlit only the etched characters transmit light. This makes the keypads ideal for applications where excess light spillage would detract from the usability of the end product. Most colours are available for spraying including metallic colours such as silver and brass.

Multi-coloured keypads
Multi-coloured keypads can allow many different key colours within the one keypad. Various international color standards are accommodated, in addition to our ability to match client supplied colour swatches. By applying the colour to the key, rather than printing the colour on top of the key, the cost of the keypad is reduced and the risk of ink wear is minimised.

Wear-resistant coated keypads
Wear-resistant coated keypads are manufactured by applying a coating to the keypad after the post curing process, which ensures that any printing or spraying is also protected by the coating. This technique is recommended in high usage or environmentally harsh environments.

Plastic feel keypads/plastic keycaps
Plastic feel keypads/plastic keycaps combine the cost savings and ease of assembly offered by silicone keypads with the feel and aesthetics of a plastic keycap. This is achieved using plastic keycaps, or by applying an epoxy coating to the keytop. In addition, thermoformed keypads can be produced where the key height is low and the key travel short.


Entech Electronics provides a range of high quality standard and customized LCD panels and modules in various technologies including TN, STN, HTN and FSTN. Packaging options include COB, COG, TAB.

Passive glass panel types are well suited to designs that incorporate LCD drive electronics, whereas the module types include additional circuitry to provide an easily implemented interface to a range of data bus architectures.
