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…
