Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.
Technology Roadmaps
In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we discuss technology roadmaps and what they mean for our businesses, providing context to the all-important question: What is my company’s technology roadmap?

Eltek Has Supplied $1.6 Million Orders to a Strategic Customer
September 26, 2016 | EltekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Eltek Ltd. announced today that since January 2016 it has supplied approximately US$ 1.6 million of technologically advanced solutons to a strategic customer. The customer selected Eltek because of its capability to produce high performance and reliable solutions.
These orders are in addition to $300,000 of such PCBs supplied to this customer in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Mr. Yitzhak Nissan, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Eltek developed an advanced technological manufacturing process that allowed us to win these orders. This solution uses complex processes, including vias copper filling and meticulous testing to ensure the high quality and reliability of the PCBs. Eltek is now able to support a large volume of this type of technologically advanced orders. Having been chosen by a leading customer to supply these orders confirms Eltek's competitive advantages. We are confident that our ability to offer top grade solutions to companies with complicated technological requirements will lead to additional high-end orders in the future," Mr. Nissan concluded.

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
