Paper, bamboo, wood and jute - in a PCB? 🤔
Yes, that is correct - these are all materials that are tested to replace or complement current not-so-environmentally friendly PCB materials.

💡New blogpost “PCB surface finishes – what you need to know”💡
Surface finishes are necessary to prevent copper oxidation over time and makes it possible to solder components on the PCB. There are several factors that decides which surface finish to use – learn more about that and what advantages and disadvantages the different surface finishes has got!

Standards and certifications play a key role in ensuring PCB quality, reliability, and compliance.
At NCAB Group, we follow internationally recognised standards such as IPC, ISO and UL, as well as industry‑specific requirements for sectors like medical, automotive, aerospace and defence.
Here’s an overview of the standards and certifications we work with — and why they matter in practice:

💡Design greener PCBs!💡
Our new design tool – PCB design for environment (DfE) – will teach you key principles for designing more environmentally friendly PCBs. We give you strategies that are compatible with current manufacturing capabilities and supply chains. By making informed design choices, we can minimize hazardous substances, improve recyclability and material recovery, and support compliance with environmental regulations and sustainability goals.

💡 How to make a reliable PCB – 12. Packaging 💡
The last step in our production process; Wrap and pack.
Good packaging is essential not only to protect the boards during storage, but also to ensure the solderability of the PCBs. Before packing them, the boards are counted manually or by an automatic machine, which also check part numbers and separate different date or batch codes.

Finally, the PCBs are packed: stacked on a tabletop, a desiccant is added to remove humidity from the shrink-wrapped package. The boards then go into a shrink-wrapping machine to seal the package, creating a soft vacuum by removing most of the air.

👉🏼 New blogpost: PCB design for supply stability
Design for supply stability is ultimately about building resilience into the PCB design itself. That requires closer collaboration between engineering, sourcing, and customers from the earliest stages of a project.
We see this as a natural extension of our role. By combining technical expertise with supply chain insight, we help customers create designs that are not only functional and cost effective, but also stable and scalable in an increasingly unpredictable market.
