NCAB GROUP

Capability

The information below details some of the key capabilities that NCAB Group can offer and support today. You will find information here relating to the specific materials we can support, the PCB technologies or product types which we currently produce, as well as some of the tolerances which we can achieve.

The first category is what we call “standard” and means we can offer each individual parameters from multiple sources. The second is our “advanced” offering and this shows the very best that NCAB can offer, but here the supply chain or sourcing options is limited and in some cases this means that only one plant is capable of this parameter.

When using combinations of these parameters, you should always consult your local NCAB technical contact person.
