HDI – High Density Interconnect –Tendenze di design di un PCB
La necessità, nasce nel momento in cui si pensa non pi ad un oggetto che abbia una unica e semplice funzione, ma ad oggetti accattivanti per prestazioni e aspetto estetico. Che abbiano la possibilità di eseguire molteplici funzioni ed operazioni. L’esempio più classico è il telefono cellulare, da una sola funzione quella di effettuare e ricevere […]
Via hole protection - what is it and when can it be used
Via hole protection is a PCB manufacturing technique in which the via hole is filled with solder mask or epoxy.
PCB materials - how to make the right choice
As features such as blind and buried vias, multilayer HDI stack-ups and high frequency signals become more common, the dielectric materials used in production need to be carefully selected to ensure the PCB operates to its highest potential. Material Producer The material producer refers the company that produces the specific material you want to use, […]

Alleviate price increases with your PCB designs
There are many articles that have explained the reasoning for the increased pricing, including this one here [Prices of Copper-Clad Laminates Continue to Rise (iconnect007.com)]. We are going to focus on how you can respond, but understanding some of the driving factors to increased price and lead time. One of the biggest impacts to a […]
Applications of PCBs – use field engineering experts on your design
Have your PCB supplier involved early in the design phase First, let’s discuss a resource like this. At NCAB Group, they are field application engineers (FAEs). The benefit here is an experienced field application engineer will have worked on many PCBs for a variety of applications and have the capability and knowledge to recommend […]
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 […]
