Les PCB: un monde en mutation
Plusieurs tendances techniques prédominantes animent aujourd’hui les applications qui mettent en œuvre les PCB.

PCB Button Plating - what is it, when and why is it needed?
First let’s discuss the basics when it comes to a typical rigid PCB. During the production process with a rigid PCB, we would image and etch our inner layer cores, laminate them together, drill and plate with Electro Deposited copper (ED copper), and then move on to pattern plating. So you have copper foil […]

Understanding White PCB Solder Mask for LED Lighting Applications
One example in particular is lighting applications. Found in vehicles, city infrastructure and warehouses, LED lighting is developing into a nuanced application that seeks to bring precise brightness and color for the perfect aesthetic. When it comes to lighting, the PCB can be the difference between a clean white glow in a room, or […]

La voie vers des activités durables
En quoi consiste concrètement le travail de durabilité et que font les entreprises pour faire véritablement bouger les choses ?

Soft cost drivers in PCB production
Soft cost drivers – an important factor That reason is whether your role is managerial, commercial or technical there is a good chance that you have an interest in ensuring that the printed circuit boards you are purchasing, designing or assembling are as efficient as they can be in terms of achieving what we […]

Our way of conducting sustainability audits
Here is our sustainability audit process, in brief: Normally it takes two days to complete the full sustainability audit, and one day to do the follow-up audit. Every audit is done on factory site in accordance with a detailed template comprised of six parts: Management System Human Rights Labour and Working Conditions Health and Safety […]

Les réseaux 5G arrivent – quelles seront les conséquences sur la société, les entreprises et le secteur des PCB?
Quel sera l'impact du passage à la 5G sur la production de PCB ? Quelles seront les conséquences sur la société, les entreprises et le secteur des PCB?

Why your standard PCB fabrication notes needs updating
I’ve noticed that our clients are understanding more and more that PCBs are the key component, but still have challenges communicating to their PCB suppliers what they want to build. When we receive Gerber files for an order there are times we cringe because we’re missing pieces of information necessary to make sure the PCB […]

Hard Cost Drivers in PCB production
Where do costs originate? Well, 80-90% of all costs are built into the project in a very early stage of the chain – before suppliers (EMS companies, PCB suppliers, etc.) have sight of the design. We always recommend involving your suppliers very early in the design stage. In order to tackle the subject. We have […]

Qualities of medically applied PCBs
PCBs in medical applications In this blog post we will discuss the details of PCBs used in medical applications, highlighting some of the differences in terms of demands and how the design must be handled. We have seen electronics become increasingly significant in the medical field. Advancements in medical technology have provided dramatically improved diagnostics […]

The Current Material Situation
Due to an increased demand for advanced materials to support the growth in 5G applications, many laminate manufacturers have increased the production and output of high-performance or high-speed material at the expense of standard performance materials. The current situation is having a negative effect on the supply of standard performance material (low-to-mid Tg). The consequence […]

PCB standards - why do we need them?
Have you ever designed a board, but got feedback that it couldn’t be manufactured unless changes were made? Or maybe you’ve designed a complex board and sent it to the factory, only to find out that the manufacturer didn’t build the board to your expectations? Printed circuit boards are becoming more complex, the factory options […]

Comment assurons-nous la conformité de nos PCB ?
À chaque commande, nous devons être en mesure de démontrer que le PCB que nous avons livré est correct en termes de caractéristiques physiques mais également par rapport à la spécification qui détermine sa fonctionnalité. Les matériaux utilisés sont-ils appropriés ? Avons-nous la bonne épaisseur de diélectrique ? Etc… Pour cela, NCAB Group a mis […]

Reliable PCBs – key factor that determines the quality of the end product
Reliability is a key factor right from the start of the PCB production process. If a PCB has a reliability issue, the end product itself is at risk. The important thing is getting it right first time. Trying to improve reliability once the product is designed and in production can lead to massively high costs […]

Key aspects for a reliable PCB
We know that good reliability is secured by achieving a good balance between verification on a product level and verification of the process. It cannot be achieved by screening or sorting on a product level – you cannot ‘inspect in’ good quality or reliability as the old adage goes. Classifications according IPC Class 1: General […]

More electronics in smaller spaces – the advantages and challenges with flex boards
The growing need for more electronics to be fitted into smaller spaces has led to a demand for more advanced PCBs, which in turn requires even higher precision in the design of the PCB.

New warehouse facilitates our logistics
The new NCAB Group UK warehouse is finally ready after being renovated during 13 months. NCAB Group UK have many customers who require warehousing, and providing this service gives us an additional competitive edge. It is the last step in our logistics and is something we take pride in so it is important that we […]

NCAB Group Sweden key contributor to smart electronics handbook
The aim of the handbook is to help everyone in the supply chain to take more knowledge based decisions. Many times, design engineers spend a lot of time to create fantastic products – but when it comes to manufacturing, information is lost along the way. This can lead to a product that does not carry […]

How to create a learning organization
Have you ever had a question at a meeting, but you look around the room and none of your colleagues seem to be asking it – maybe you’re supposed to know? So you don’t ask the question and think that you will figure it out later. What happens now, is that we rob ourselves and […]

NCAB Group – Making PCBs cool since 1993
Michael Larsson VP Sales, Group Function How would you describe a PCB to a child? It’s flat and often green, with a lot of small holes. You almost never see it, but it helps you get to soccer practice, keeps your ice cream cold and your Snapchat functioning. It make all the difference for […]
