Printed circuit boards (PCBs) play an integral role in modern-day life. Pcb board manufacturing products can be found in almost every room you enter. You can find circuit boards in your television, cellphone, calculator, and even home appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. Updates and advancements in PCB technology have made it important for application… Continue reading Latest Trends in PCB Design
Creating, manufacturing, and delivering a quality printed circuit boards (PCB) is not a job to be taken lightly. In fact, even for PCB manufacturing companies, the task can be overwhelming and time consuming, and without proper attention to detail can easily result in missed steps or a poor end product as a result. Whether you… Continue reading Manufacturing Steps to Follow for PCB Assembly
The performance of fiber-optic cables should naturally be incredible – if there are no errors or faults with them. The major factors affecting the performances of these cables come down mostly to human error or wear and tear. This is different to PCB board manufacturing or circuit board manufacturing. However, here’s what printed circuit board manufacturers also… Continue reading 5 Factors Affecting Fiber Optic Cabling Performance
The PCB, or printed circuit board, is the central element in every electronic system. The board is the base on which the entire circuit is mounted, whether it is surface mounting or perforated board. These boards are meticulously designed to be efficient and compact, planned for every circuit individually. The PCB Assembly Design Process Different… Continue reading Design Process Behind Printed Circuit Board Assemblies
Box builds are also known as systems integrations and have several differences compared to the PCB (printed circuit board) production process. The key distinctive features include an electromechanical assembly of sub-assembly components in a more complex system that requires the fabrication of an enclosure (hence the name “box build”), wire harnesses, cables and so on.… Continue reading Box Build Assemblies: Key Steps and Considerations
There are a number of key differences between surface mounting and through hole technology. Understanding these differences will make it easier for you to not only identify the right company to work on your project but also know which of the two processes is best. Surface Mount Technology (SMT) versus Through Hole SMT technology has… Continue reading Some Common Differences in Surface Mounting and Through Hole Technology
Upgrading your facility’s electro mechanical assembly is a process that should be taken with all seriousness and has several factors that should be taken into consideration. There are specific requirements that need to be met, costs that need to be considered, and technical issues that need to be addressed. All those and more will influence the design,… Continue reading Factors To Consider When Designing Electro Mechanical Assembly
Printed circuit boards, also referred to as PCBs, are a self-contained module comprised of interconnected electronic components. Formed by a very thin layer of conducting material that is printed onto the surface of an insulating board or substrate, these boards are commonly used for multiple purposes, including radios, computer systems, radars, beepers, pagers, and so… Continue reading The Making of Printed Circuit Boards
Surface Mounting Technologies (SMT) have dramatically changed modern-day manufacturing. Although customers and manufacturers have already identified a number of benefits, it seems that additional benefits surface every year. For example, compared to the more conventional through-hole design of circuit boards, engineers using Surface Mount Technology to mount components onto the surface of the board directly,… Continue reading Building Better Products with Surface Mount Contract Manufacturing
For mounting electronic components, two technologies are typically used. These include through-hole technology and surface-mount technology. While both technologies achieve the desired outcome, their processes and advantages are unique. Through-Hole Technology For this particular mounting method, leads are inserted into drilled holes on a bare printed circuit board (PCB). In addition to being referred to… Continue reading Through Hole versus Surface Mount Technology
