💓If you're going to make ONE new year's resolution then may we suggest learning CPR? In your downtime over the festive period you can take the British Heart Foundation's FREE ONLINE TRAINING which takes just 15 MINUTES and could save somebody's life.

Those of us who regularly attend football matches have seen a surge in medical emergencies over the past few seasons, with some supporters sadly not going home from the game.

Learning CPR could make the difference in those all-important minutes when someone collapses.

Here is a link to the British Heart Foundation's recommended online training :

🎄 Happy Boxing Day! If you're hitting the road today, perhaps for a football match, some post-Christmas sales or to visit family, take a moment to appreciate the incredible technology driving your journey. 🚙

Every modern vehicle is packed with PCBs, working together to ensure a smooth, safe, and enjoyable ride. Think about what's powered by PCBs in your car:

⚙️ Engine & motor controls

⚠️Safety systems including ABS, airbags, lane assist and parking sensors.

🔊 Navigation & infotainment

💡 Lighting including headlights, interior lights, and dashboard displays.

These aren't just any PCBs; they're high-reliability, automotive-grade boards designed to withstand extreme conditions. They are the unseen heroes of every mile you travel!

Where are you driving this Boxing Day, and what's your favourite piece of in-car tech?

Yesterday marked the Winter Solstice, and while the days are officially getting longer again, we still have plenty of dark mornings and early sunsets ahead!

Now is the perfect time to make sure you’re using high-efficiency LED lighting to brighten your workspace and home. Not only do these bulbs last longer, but they rely on advanced Aluminium PCBs to manage heat and keep your energy consumption low.

It’s the smartest way to keep things bright while staying efficient through the winter months.

Did you notice how early it got dark yesterday? How are you keeping your workspace bright this week? ☕️✨

𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅-𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲-𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 💡

If you need to pack maximum power into minimal space then that’s the job for Flex-Rigid PCBs. Flex-Rigid boards permanently combine flexible inner layers with rigid external boards. This unique combination allows for:

🔷 Higher Component Density: Maximize functionality in compact designs.

🔷 Improved Reliability: Fewer connectors means fewer potential points of failure.

🔷 Space Savings: Ideal for tight enclosures and complex 3D routing.

You'll find these high-performance boards in mission-critical applications like Aerospace, Military systems, Medical devices, and sophisticated Smart Devices.

LATEST NEWS: We're excited to share the launch of our HDI production line at our JST factory in Jiangyou, China. This investment strengthens our ability to meet growing market demand and expands our manufacturing technical portfolio.

🔧Technical capacity: 2+N+2
⚙️Capabilities in newly developed technology of:
- Heavy copper (up to 6oz)
- Copper In-Lay
- High layer counts (up to 20 layers)
- High-frequency material(PTFE)

With these capabilities, we can now deliver broader technical solutions to meet diverse customer requirements.

Today’s celebration was joined by our CEO - Daniel Jacob, Chief Manufacturing Officer - HB Yang, and General Manager - Victor Huang, marking an important milestone together.

A special quote from Klaus Jacob, father of Daniel and founder of the first JCB in 1988—the beginning of what became STARTEAM GLOBAL:
“I am touched and proud that after 37 years since our journey began, we can finally open our first HDI production line. With this investment, we will deliver more technologies to our loyal customers and open doors for new markets.”

With this new HDI line, we strengthen our ability to support customers with the technologies they need, and we look forward to growing together into the future.

⚽ Alan is delighted today as a Pompey win pulled them out of the relegation zone! And Phil's team Aston Villa got a great result at West Ham, winning 3-2!

The rest of the office won't be quite so happy so we will no mention any more results... at least it's nearly Christmas! 😂🎄🎅

Happy Christmas Jumper Day! 🎄🎅

We thought we'd see what AI could come up with when asked to design a PCB-themed Christmas Jumper, and we rather like the result! It's the perfect blend of engineering and festive vibes!

The big questions are:

1. Would YOU wear this?
2. Should we get one made for the team to wear next year?!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗖𝗕 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 🥇

The surface finish might be the last step in manufacturing, but it's one of the most critical! This layer protects the exposed copper traces from corrosion and ensures perfect solderability for component assembly.

Choosing the right finish depends entirely on your application's requirements—from cost and shelf life to environmental compliance and soldering method.

We offer a wide range of finishes, including:

🔷 𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗚 (𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱): Ideal for fine pitch and high reliability.

🔷𝗛𝗔𝗦𝗟 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲: A proven, cost-effective option for robust soldering.

🔷𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿: Excellent for flat surfaces and RF applications.

Unsure which one is best suited for your project? Our UK-based technical team are ready to advise you on the most cost-effective and compliant finish for your needs.
