Key Largo, Florida, USA – Automated Production Equipment (APE) has significantly expanded production of its most popular PCB eyelets and funnellets, allowing delivery of these products at what may be the most competitive pricing in the industry, according to Casey Scheu, CEO.

PCB eyelets (also called hollow rivets) and funnelets are small, tin-plated copper or brass tubes used to restore the conductive path in damaged circuit boards and reinforce mechanical connections. They act as a reliable "bridge" for electrical current and component leads.

In making the announcement, Casey Scheu said, “By increasing manufacturing capacity and focusing on high-volume production of our most common sizes, APE's standard pricing is now approximately 35% lower than the nearest major competitor on many eyelet and funnellet products.”

Inside diameters range from 0.021" through 0.132", and products are made of Brass and Copper, with Bare and Tin-Plated Finishes.

Casey added, “Our expanded USA manufacturing operation is producing millions of eyelets and funnellets to support PCB repair technicians, electronics manufacturers, aerospace contractors, military depots, and repair facilities worldwide. Take advantage of our 20% Anniversary Sale and discover why more customers are switching to APE for their PCB eyelet and funnellet needs.”
