About us
Bungard Elektronik GmbH & Co.KG was founded in 1961 by Heinz Bungard and is a full-line supplier for the production of prototype PCBs and small series in industrial quality. Since 1961 the company has manufactured photo-coated base material (FR4, FR2, FR3, CEM1, Teflon, Kapton, Cotherm metal core, anodized aluminum ALUCOREX) and develops matching CNC milling-drilling plotters (CCD series), etching machines (Sprint, DL 500, Titan 3500), exposure units (Hellas LED, Eurolux LED, LaserPro 3000), through-hole plating systems, multilayer presses as well as SMT equipment and software (ISOCAM, RoutePro, Filmstar). PCBs are produced from raw material to plated-through multilayer boards with solder resist mask, including surface finishing (electroless and electrolytic nickel-gold, chemical tin plating) and wastewater treatment. Typical users are electronics laboratories, model makers, pad printers and the PCB industry. The company is based in Windeck (Rhein-Sieg district) and is represented in 65 countries.

Base material and processes
FR4 (glass fabric, epoxy resin)
The world-standard PCB base material, covering around 99% of market demand, also thin with 0.125 mm carrier thickness and 35 µm copper.
FR2 (phenolic resin hard paper)
Carrier material for simple applications.
FR3 (epoxy resin hard paper)
Carrier material for simple applications.
CEM1 (epoxy resin composite with paper core)
Composite material, easy to drill but prone to moisture absorption.
Teflon
High-quality base material for demanding RF applications.
Kapton film
Film material, photo-coated for flexible applications.
Copper
Copper cladding of the base materials, e.g. 35 µm, basis for traces and through-hole plating.
Anodized aluminum (ALUCOREX)
Photo-coated anodized aluminum in distribution since 1981.
Metal core PCB Cotherm
Metal core PCBs with and without photoresist layer.
Electroless nickel-gold (Ni/P & Au)
Versatile surface finish for PCBs.
Chemical tin plating (ORMECON, SUR-TIN)
Process for chemical tin plating of copper surfaces.

Quality
For quality control of PCBs, Bungard offers the QualityScan 3000 scanner. The photo-coated base material has been produced using the dip-coating process since 1961; even single-sided boards carry photoresist on both sides.
