There are many tiny components required to make a PCB work accurately. Without specialized tools and equipment, it may be difficult to assemble all the parts of the board to ensure the PCB works as it should. Read more to find out the different equipment used in PCB assembly.
When you’re an engineer, you can be confident that you know your “stuff”—but since that can encompass many different things, it’s likely you’ll run into something you don’t know. Of course, that’s nothing to be ashamed about, especially if you’re straight out of school or haven't been in the industry for long. The electronics manufacturing...
Printed circuit boards are necessities in electronics of all types. They’ve been used for several decades, and engineers continue to make them smaller and more powerful. Because of the complexity of PCBs and the factors that go into producing them, they are available in a variety of price points.
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...
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...
