More design tips - get it right from the start

  COMMON DESIGN PROBLEMS REGARDING HDI PRODUCTION PROBLEMS DEPENDING ON THIS BEST SOLUTION Too tight demands on the thickness of overplating of plugged vias. (POFV or VIPPO) Affects the flow of the process, at a reasonable thickness of the overplating all the vias can be drilled in the same operation, which makes the process much […]

High demands always gets us to strive for PCB perfection

High demands always gets us to strive for PCB perfection

From my perspective he had already done a great job, the car looked new both on the in- and outside, but the owner still believed it could be better. Good is not enough, there are always improvements to be made. Somehow this is something I see very often in our office. We sometimes have hard […]

PCB design tips: Via-in-pad

The benefits of via-in-pad designs are well documented. From reduction of inductance to increased density, via-in-pad has become an essential tool for designers when navigating the routing challenges of fine pitch array packages that have become mainstays in today’s BOMs but there are trade-offs that must be considered. The basic concept is elegant. The via-in-pad […]
Innovation and growth - what's in it for the customer?

Innovation and growth - what's in it for the customer?

We are all aware that if we don’t innovate and grow, our competitors will easily catch up and eventually pass us. The key success factors to growth are to keep focus on the targets, continuous improvement, innovation and value based leadership. If we don’t have these factors the success will be limited. Innovation is the […]
The benefits of multi-sourcing of PCB factories compared to single sourcing

The benefits of multi-sourcing of PCB factories compared to single sourcing

They had to have audit staff, technicians, quality-, logistic- and purchase staff to be able to get the correct boards. They have to use 6-7 factories to get the absolutely best offer. This was fairly easy to handle when the factories was in the vicinity and price wasn’t such a big issue. Then transition started […]
Close cooperation - a source of inspiration

Close cooperation - a source of inspiration

The main task this time is to perform an audit, a very good tool for checking the status of the factory, finding improvement areas and go to action. I’m travelling together with two PCB experts, our Group Quality & Technical Manager and our Technical Manager in Sweden. I’m very proud having this strong team when […]
How can you predict the future for the PCB market?

How can you predict the future for the PCB market?

Some key barometers that have, and are going to influence the PCB market moving through Q1 and into Q2 include positive GDP expectations for the US (2.8%) and China (7.2-7.5%) with Europe posting a return to positive number (1% overall), but whilst this sounds optimistic this is not a walk in the park and growth […]
The world is running faster, or is it really?

The world is running faster, or is it really?

We know for sure that information is travelling faster, and thanks to this, the world has become a little smaller. We can communicate with all different parts of the world in real-time and we can send goods pretty quick between regions. But looking in a longer perspective – is it really that much faster today, […]
PCB DfM – a pathway to lower overall cost

PCB DfM – a pathway to lower overall cost

It’s all about connections, not simply those that the designers make to define the circuit or the ones that circuit board manufacturers create to fab the PCB. It’s about connecting the design intent with PCB manufacturing capabilities and assembly requirements. Without these connections, the PCBA will not have the manufacturing robustness or process yield needed […]
CSR - an important issue for the future

CSR - an important issue for the future

Still there are differences between the environments our future generations grow up in – with our well appointed NCAB UK offices & warehousing based here in Wiltshire, in open countryside – it is a stark contrast to the industrial zones of southern China where many of the PCBs consumed by global electronics markets are made. […]
