Andy Bunt is a now a Certified IPC-A-600 Trainer and will start an internal training programme for employees soon. We would like to congratulate Andy for his work achieving this certification.

Mark Booth, with two friends, cycled 170 miles in 3 days from St Bees, Cumbria to Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire in memory of a very good friend of his who died suddenly of Ischemic Heart Disease.  The three friends  have raised over £3,300 for the British Heart Foundation. As a Company, we would like to congratulate Mark on completing this challenge.  We encourage our employees to take part in… Read More »Mark Booth cycles 170 miles in three days and raises over £3300 for The British Heart Foundation

At Exception PCB we are supporting more and more customers who are wanting to migrate to Flex & Flex-Rigid due to the benefits of its constructions, for example, Space saving, 3d Interconnect and fully tested as an integral single piece component. What is a Rigid Flex PCB? A rigid flex Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a hybrid circuit board design that integrates elements from both rigid board and flexible circuits.… Read More »Why Use Flex & Flex-Rigid Technology

A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and its components are used in the majority of electronic devices so they can perform their intended function. They are used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, track or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. PCBs are everywhere! Computers, printers, televisions, digital clocks, microwaves and you’ll even find one in your mobile phone! Aside from… Read More »What does a Printed Circuit board (PCB) do?

Exception PCB, one of the largest dedicated time and technology PCB manufacturers in the UK, has purchased a Ledia Direct Imager from Ucamco. To great satisfaction of all parties involved.  More specifically, the direct imager is a Ledia 6 3-head 3-wavelength type. As the name suggests, the Ledia’s unique UV-LEDs light source combines three different wavelengths simultaneously. The wavelength ranges from 350nm to 440nm to diffuse the energy optimally throughout… Read More »Exception PCB Purchases Ledia Direct Imager from Ucamco

Throughout September our IT Manager, Phil Danter took on the challenge of cycling 300 miles to raise money in Cancer Research UK. Phil rode the roads of Tewkesbury and surrounding areas, the longest ride in a single day was nearly 26 miles. Phil Said “The 300 miles did seem to fly by quite quickly, mainly due to the better than average weather and longer days. My wife and work friends… Read More »Cycle 300 for Cancer Research UK

There is a large variety of materials used to make a PCB. Each material has unique properties that are chosen specifically in order to fill the PCB’s purpose. For example, some materials are specifically chosen because of their resistance to high temperatures whereas other might be chosen because of their capability of supporting high frequency signals.

Single layer PCB also known as a Single Sided PCB is a type of PCB, which comes with only one layer of conducting material on one side of the board, and the other side is used for incorporating different electronic components on the board. Single layer PCBs were the start point of Printed Circuit Board technology but they still play an important part in the electronic industry. What are the… Read More »Single Layer PCB
