      Why use a PCB Broker?

       

      Most purchasing officers are confident that they can source new suppliers with good quality delivery of product and savings. The company's purchasing department has an excellent relationship with suppliers, maybe so but sometimes things like communication, especially with Far East suppliers can be difficult. Examples of such problems are with Gerber files, currency conversion, carriers, customs clearance and very strict payment terms and hard to get credit.

       

      Using PCB Portal to purchase on our customers behalf has following advantages, purchasing in any currency, checking Gerber Data with suppliers jointly, credit terms already  in place and billing in preferred currency. We only use qualified suppliers after conducting yearly on going audits. Our knowledge of each supplier’s capacity before loading an order, knowledge of market place, an expertise of what each supplier can offer in he way of technologies. A single supplier will offer the particular technology he may have, do they suit your needs? They may or may not. There are 1000's of different PCB manufacturers; PCB Portals philosophy is to match a supplier to a client so after careful consideration of what each supplier offers including price, service, technology, quality, delivery, flexibility etc it will match what the client requires.

      Quality Audits in China

       
      We will be visiting our Partners in Shenzhen and Guangdong areas. Whilst modern day communication modems allow effective interaction, there is nothing like sitting across the table with your suppliers. At the end of the day, your business is as only as good as your partners and these regular visits allow effective business strategies to be discussed as well as discussing technical / quality road maps required to support our clients. We will also be taking the opportunity to visit and audit several more high tech fast turnaround and volume suppliers, reviewing capability and technology with a view to adding them to our supplier portfolio. Our current suppliers can manufacture high technology quality PCB’s in surprisingly good lead times and with proven delivery methods we can deliver multilayer product door to door within an average of 10 days at a fraction of Western pricing structures. Many of our clients are using this service for prototypes.

      Controlled Impedance

       

      PCB Portal has vast experience in advising on the design of controlled impedance technology for a whole range of board types in diverse applications such as Chip Test, Automotive, Medical Aerospace and Military.

       We have provided boards featuring, single ended, embedded, surface micro strip, symmetrical strip line, offset strip line, and differential impedance requirements. We often approach separate high-end board manufacturers, who use different impedance calculation and test suites, to compare proposed solutions to the customer’s enquiry.  This allows us to advise the “best fit” solution in terms of technical appropriateness, cost, repeatability and reproducibility.

       We can run complex calculations on Impedance Calculation and Test suites allowing us to advise on board construction and build, base material selection, dielectric spacing, reference layer position within the construction and design track widths to achieve a customer’s desired result. In many cases the customer details the constraints he is working with and we provide a construction sheet and track width statement to allow him to complete the design.

       The same units are used to provide first off, in process, and last off tests on a batch in progress to provide process control over those critical manufacturing stages which directly impact on Impedance characteristics, typically Bonding and Etching processes. In this way we ensure that the process is rigorously controlled to maintain the desired characteristics throughout manufacture.

       We use the same test suites to provide final verification that the manufactured board achieves the calculated impedance characteristics. We can supply documented test results for each individual board in the batch, and should the customer desire to carry out their own verification, the accompanying test coupon referenced to the manufacturing panel.

       We have provided guidance on some extremely challenging products including:

       Flex rigid for Aerospace application, where careful selection of a cross hatching design was required to provide the necessary reference layer, whilst maintaining the required flexibility characteristics.

      • Composite material boards where the dielectric properties of conventional FR4 and microwave materials had to be taken into account in the impedance calculation.
      • Close tolerance bonding to achieve impedance tolerance of +/-5% (typical offering is +/-10%)

        

      We are confident that whatever a customer’s requirement for impedance control on a board may be, we can offer an effective solution
