Current IssueVoices 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.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Incap Slovakia Upgrades PCBA Cleaning Technology
March 18, 2025 | IncapEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
At Incap Slovakia, maintaining high product quality requires continuous improvement in PCBA cleaning processes. Our new PCBA washing system is now fully operational, bringing enhanced cleaning performance, increased automation, and improved sustainability to our production.
The system features immersion cleaning with vacuum-integrated drying, ensuring effective removal of ionic contamination. This helps prevent oxidation, corrosion, and signal perturbation, leading to greater product reliability. Additionally, the automated process reduces handling time and skill requirements, making operations more efficient and consistent.
Key benefits of the upgrade:
- Higher cleaning quality – more effective contamination removal ensures greater product reliability.
- Automated pro
- cess – less manual handling improves consistency and efficiency.
- Sustainability gains – 50% reduction in water and energy usage per cleaning cycle.
- Stronger process control – improved reliability and consistency in manufacturing.
This investment aligns with Incap’s commitment to quality, efficiency, and sustainability, ensuring we continue to meet the highest industry standards while optimising our operations.

The Chemical Connection: Surface Finishes for PCBs
03/31/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWriting about surface finishes brings a feeling of nostalgia. You see, one of my first jobs in the industry was providing technical support for surface cleaning processes and finishes to enhance dry film adhesion to copper surfaces. I’d like to take this opportunity to revisit the basics, indulge in my nostalgia, and perhaps provide some insight into why we do things the way we do them in the here and now.
