High-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards (PCBs) has recently become integral part of the electronics industries. Electronic components are becoming smaller and more lightweight but still demand of improvement is raising. Best way to fulfill this ever-growing requirement is to pack more functionality into a smaller area. That’s precisely what HDI PCBs offer. High density […]
If your project requirements have led you into considering a double-sided PCB design, it is important to understand the assembly process, the pros and cons, and other items you may want to look out for while putting together your design. Pros: Why Go Double-Sided PCB Most PCBs that are designed and built are single sided.
Double-sided PCB VS Single-Sided PCB Assembly Guide Read More »
Printed circuit boards power almost all the electronic devices that we use today such as smartphones, display screens, and computers. When a printed circuit board has a failure, it can disrupt both our personal and business lives. There are various causes of PCB failures and they are often linked to a few main factors, such
Soldering can make or break a PCB, both figuratively and literally. This article offers basic tips and nine specific problems/mistakes to look out for when doing a PCB soldering job. The quality of the soldering has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of the PCB. Through soldering, different parts of the PCB are connected

Managing heat is an important part of printed circuit board design and manufacturing. A board that isn’t designed to dissipate the heat it generates may end up with operational problems or even complete failure. During manufacturing it is also important that the heat be managed in order to withstand the high temperatures applied during the

How to enhance the efficiency of PCB assembly manufacturing Read More »
Components that are placed too close to the edge of the board run the risk of being damaged or causing problems with other aspects of circuit board manufacturing. The problem is that some components have to be close to or on the edge of the board in order to perform their function. Connectors, switches, and
-A conformal coating protects the components and exposed copper on a PCBA from damage -The state of a component, particularly cleanliness, impacts how conformal coating works. -Masking is a useful way to prepare a PCB or component for the conformal coating process. Electronic components and exposed conductors are vulnerable to chemical or mechanical degradation during
PCB assembly services have been arguing the benefits and drawbacks of through-hole vs. surface mount technologies since the 1980s. Through-hole technology (THT) is the original assembly process that dominated the industry until the invention of surface mount technology (SMT) in the 80’s. Surface mount is more efficient and cost-effective than THT, leading many to believe
AOI technology is a process that allows manufacturers to inspect PCBs by applying an AOI inspection platform. This type of inspection aims to identify in the printed circuit boards before they are sent off for assembly. It also provides real-time feedback on how well production lines are running and can help companies prevent costly errors
