PCB Fabrication Drawing
Fabrication notes, Drill Table, Scaled Drawing, Stackup Drawing and Array Drawing are all parts of a PCB fabrication drawing. But – what is a fabrication drawing – and why do you need it?
Manufacturing of PCBs for railway applications - four critical processes
When producing PCBs for railway applications it's important to use the right parameters, equipment, and processes to ensure PCB reliability.
What is a PCB?
A PCB is built by non-conductive materials such as fiberglass or epoxy and has conductive pathways etched or printed onto its surface.
PCB Solder mask
Learn about the complexities of PCB solder mask and equip you with essential insights for your manufacturing endeavours.
The history of PCBs
Learn about the history of PCBs - to understand its value, and how much it has evolved throughout time.
PCB Bow and Twist: Challenges, Causes, and Solutions
Bow and twist are two types of deformations that can occur in the PCB. Bow refers to there being an upward or a downward curve in the middle part of the PCB. Twist refers to there being one corner higher or lower than the other corners of the board.
NCAB Group Sweden support young technicians in KTH Formula Student
NCAB Group Sweden has supported KTH Formula Student since spring 2020, contributing PCBs for the development of a driverless, electric race car.

PCBs for Harsh and Extreme Environments: What defines an extreme environment?
PCBs used in harsh and extreme environments will be exposed to extreme situations. Learn about what defines extreme environments and about the PCBs used.
PCB design for railway applications: regulations and considerations
When designing PCBs for an application to the railway sector, there is a set of regulations and considerations that should be considered.
The Evolving Landscape of Medical PCBs
Important things to know when constructing a medical PCB! In this guide, we'll cover how to design medical PCBs, the latest medical PCB trends etc.
Increasing quality risks in the PCB supply chain - and how we work to mitigate them
As we considered the changing market conditions with factories being potentially overstocked, following declining capacity demand and facing shelf life issues - we saw a risk that substitutions for equivalent materials might be made by the factories.
Data Matrix and QR Codes for PCB Information and Traceability
Data Matrix codes offers high data density in a very small size, making them an ideal solution for marking PCBs where space might be limited.
How an efficient engineering process can impact your PCB’s total cost and reliability
An efficient engineering process is key for your PCB´s total cost and reliability. Learn how we work to clarify any uncertainties from the very start.
PCBs for the defense industry
We have talked to some of our NCAB experts regarding what to think about when producing reliable PCBs for the defense industry.
Ultra HDI PCBs put high demands on technology and manufacturing
Ultra HDI printed circuit boards are extremely dense boards with conductor width and isolation distance and dielectric thickness of less than 50 µm. Read more here.
PCBs for the Railway Industry - what you need to consider and know
When producing PCBs to the Railway Industry, there are certain requirements that need to be considered, fire and testing are key words to this. Learn more about it!
Buying PCBs with support from a local team – does it make a difference?
NCAB local customer teams support you when buying PCBs, and are also a link between you and you and our partner factories.
PCB designs with high-power applications – demands and considerations
High-power applications are those that require a lot of power to operate. This is usually because they are used in devices that need to be able to run for a long time without being plugged in.
How an advanced product specification leads to reliable PCBs
Our PCB specification includes over a 100 different requirements or criteria, all of which must be met in the manufacture of PCBs for our customers - all to make reliable PCBs.
New energy vehicles vs. traditional – what is the difference in relation to PCBs?
The automotive industry is undergoing a revolutionary change. The electronic part in the new energy vehicle is more involved and advanced, and with this in mind, the demands on the PCBs will increase in various ways.
