Our approach to mil-spec PCB manufacturing is centered on one guiding principle at Midwest Printed Circuit Services: reliability. For decades, we’ve been a trusted partner to aerospace, defense, and government organizations seeking durable, high-performance printed circuit boards built right here in the United States. From design to delivery, we ensure every PCB meets the highest standards for quality, traceability, and performance.

What “Mil-Spec” Really Means

Mil-spec PCBs are held to a different standard than commercial boards. These boards must meet strict government and military specifications, including MIL-PRF-31032 and MIL-PRF-55110. That means they’re engineered to withstand extreme heat, vibration, moisture, and other environmental stressors. In many cases, these PCBs are used in applications where failure is not an option, such as avionics, communications systems, weapons platforms, and aerospace equipment. At MPCS, we understand the weight of that responsibility, and we’ve built our processes around delivering products that perform in even the most demanding environments.

Proudly Manufactured in the USA

As a U.S.-based manufacturer located in Illinois, we take pride in providing American-made PCB solutions. Our centralized facility allows us to control every aspect of the production process, from sourcing raw materials to final inspection, ensuring consistency, accountability, and a faster turnaround for our customers. Domestic manufacturing also gives our clients peace of mind. There’s no uncertainty around overseas shipping, language barriers, or unexpected delays. When you work with Midwest Printed Circuit Services, you’re communicating directly with the engineers and technicians building your boards. That level of transparency and responsiveness is something our defense and aerospace partners have come to rely on.

Quality You Can Count On

Quality control is built into every stage of our operation. We don’t treat it as a final step; it’s a mindset that starts from day one. Every mil-spec order undergoes extensive inspection and testing to ensure compliance with required standards. That includes electrical testing, visual and microscopic inspection, and advanced imaging to verify internal layer alignment and structural integrity. We also provide detailed documentation and traceability for every lot, giving our clients complete confidence in what they receive. Whether you’re ordering prototypes or full production runs, you can count on the same rigorous attention to detail at every level.

Built for Demanding Applications

Our facility is equipped to handle high-complexity builds using materials and processes chosen explicitly for defense and aerospace applications. We work with high-temperature laminates, polyimide materials, and other specialty substrates that perform reliably under stress. Our team is experienced in manufacturing multilayer, rigid-flex, and controlled impedance boards with tight tolerances and complex via structures. These are the kinds of builds where precision and consistency aren’t just preferred, they’re required. That’s why our clients trust us to deliver boards that meet technical specifications and pass inspection, every time.
