Current IssueInner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering 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.

DIVSYS International and ICAPE Group Make an Unbeatable Team
August 23, 2018 | DIVSYS International Inc.Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
This working arrangement between ICAPE Group and DIVSYS International couples the US-based technical expertise in PCB and PCBA offered by DIVSYS, to the world-class PCB sales organization, quality assurance laboratory and rapid prototyping assembly services at ICAPE Group.
“DIVSYS integrating with ICAPE Group provides a major growth opportunity for both companies by having a full range of services for our PCB and PCBA clients,” noted Tammie Fish, managing owner of DIVSYS. “Greater buying power, more offerings for customers and a local presence is the key to personal service and client-focused business practices.” Companies located within the U.S. rely on local support to immediately address their needs and resolve issues. The DIVSYS model of technical expertise, laboratory assurance and quality metric driven systems available to customers at our Indianapolis, Indiana facility creates a unique combination that ICAPE recognized as being critical to US companies buying PCBs and PCBAs.
ICAPE Group’s CIPEM division opens the options for DIVSYS customers to a “one-stop-shop” approach to business with DIVSYS-ICAPE. CIPEM offerings include power supplies, 3D printing, mechanical parts, displays, fans, heatsinks, connectors, cables and wires. Having more options for our customers is one more way that DIVSYS differentiates itself from any other electronic service provider.
The new DIVSYS-ICAPE partnership has set the standard much higher for customer-focused business practices.
About DIVSYS International
DIVSYS International-ICAPE, LLC is a technology company specializing in printed circuit board sales, laboratory assurance testing of PCBs and PCBAs, RapidProto assembly, training, and engineering consulting for PCB and PCBA. Providing supply chain management of PC boards removes the quality risks associated with buying from the competition. Electrical and laboratory verification services are performed in-house (Indianapolis) on every lot, to assure risk-free PC board purchasing.
The RapidProto assembly group offers production quality assemblies in as few as 1-3 days of simple or complex assemblies using only automatic equipment to full production standards with the most modern equipment available, including Mycronic solder paste deposition using “jet” technology, a 30,000CPH Panasonic placement system, AOI, selective solder, and robotic conformal coat.
Our team is composed of high-skillset folks, who can solve problems while assembling the boards. Updating your information, and providing information back to you that will help you assemble the boards yourself in the future is only part of the story. We verify the boards against the netlist to assure that the board matches the design, purchase parts from “normal” distribution, place and solder with automated equipment, and AOI.
DIVSYS fosters the culture of a reliance on technical excellence through modern quality techniques and continual education of all team members. Almost all of the Indianapolis team is a lean six sigma black belt. All staff are proficient with, and trained to the latest IPC specifications. This dedication to quality, continual improvement, and technical excellence is the genesis for the DIVSYS concept.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
