Printed circuit board manufacturing is a delicate science – with the push towards miniaturization and faster production speeds, solder bridge defects are an extremely problematic road bump that have become…

Under extreme performance conditions, specialized materials such as Rogers material are required to produce the best functionality for manufacturing RF PCBs. Traditional printed circuit boards are produced using materials that…

Soldering is an essential step in the creation of printed circuit boards, particularly when applying surface mount technology. Solder acts as a conductive glue that holds these essential components tight…

As devices continue on the trend towards miniaturization, new threats emerge that prevent manufacturers from storing as much as they can into increasingly thinner packages. Among these, one threat reigns…

Printed circuit board finishes are the final protective layer applied to a PCB that will protect them from environmental factors or external harm. Not long ago, this process was limited…

PCB warping is a problem that can have expensive consequences if not addressed early on. Unfortunately, it is all too common, and one of the biggest headaches for PCB designers,…

Although surface mount technology was invented in the 1960s, its popularity didn’t take off until the late 1990s. Today, SMT dominates the world of high-automation fabrication, and is used in…

How can you tell if a printed circuit board is bad? Electronics, like everything else, are not infallible – over time, they can degrade and fail for a variety of…

Solid PCB board design and layout are essential for producing a PCB fabrication and assembly will ultimately determine the efficacy of your end product – errors that emerge along the…

Behind the technological marvels of the 21st century, the HDI PCB is certainly one of the greatest contributing factors to our increasingly digitized world. A byproduct of the drive towards…
