Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.

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.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
