Printed circuit boards are necessary components of most electrical devices. Today’s PCBs have several layers to them: the substrate, traces, solder mask, and silkscreen. One of the most important materials on a PCB is copper, and there are several reasons why copper is used instead of other alloys like aluminum or tin. What are PCBs Made...
Printed circuit boards seem to be ubiquitous, and they seem to show up in places that people are unlikely to expect. You might be pleasantly surprised to find out that you are using PCBs on a daily basis in more places than you think. Printed circuit boards are in more than just commonly used...
Printed circuit boards are the ubiquitous components used in all electronic devices. These little boards are made of reinforced glass fiber with epoxy resin. On the outside, the PCB has a layer called the solder mask. It is the solder mask that gives the boards their iconic green color. With all of the different colors...
A printed circuit board (PCB) is the board that uses conductive traces and other features etched into the copper foil to electrically connect electronic devices. These boards give electronic devices the ability to function smoothly through the easy movement of electric power. Printed circuit boards need to be engineered, then printed before they can be...
Every electronic device has at least one printed circuit board (PCB). These are the circuit boards that include numerous components and connect to other boards. These plastic boards and the components soldered to them provide the basic electric technology that runs everything from complicated computers and smartphones to basic home appliances, like microwaves and coffee...
In today’s competitive market, time is money. Product success is often determined by how quickly it can be delivered, so businesses cannot afford to lose time. Working with a PCB partner can save your business time, and therefore, money. Businesses that specialize in manufacturing PCBs can do it quickly and efficiently, so you can get...
In the world of electronics, the printed circuit board (PCB) is ubiquitous. They come in several sizes and shapes, and they control how the device works. For many, the PCB looks like a small map, or a piece of modern art, rather than the brain of a high-tech device. To make this intricate piece of technology,...
With competition at every corner, companies need to find an edge to consistently improve the bottom line. For any company that requires a printed circuit board, one effective way to get ahead of the competition is to partner with an electronic manufacturing service (EMS) to expertly handle your PCB assembly. When you hire an EMS, they...
Any business that delivers manufactured products to its clients must have a quality assurance program in place. PCB manufacturing isn’t any different. The real challenge comes with keeping the process before, during, and after manufacturing within your set quality standards. Let’s keep in mind that quality assurance is different than quality control as the two are...
There is a considerable amount of work that goes into designing a Printed Circuit Board and design teams often feel the pressure from higher-ups to deliver their project on schedule. We all know that to keep projects running smoothly, it’s imperative that design teams deliver their projects on time. While this is a crucial aspect of...
