## Description

Printed Circuit Boards \(PCBs\) are needed to construct charge readout anode plane assemblies \(APAs\) for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment based at Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota\. These boards will be arranged along the edges of each APA frame for soldering the readout wires under tension and for connecting the wires to the bias power supplies/front end electronics during an operation in Liquid Argon \(LAr\)\. Each of these PCBs are required to operate reliably in LAr over several decades \(>20 years\) so Quality Assurance is a critical element to this project\. The vendor will be required to make 36,312 PCBs\.
