Understanding Low Pressure Molding?

low-pressure-injection-molding-1

WHAT IS LOW PRESSURE MOLDING? Low pressure molding is a one-step process that encapsulates, and seals to protect electronics. By using a simple mold set allows for the process to use a lot less material than the traditional potting and eliminate the housing. Your companies part numbers and logos can easily be incorporated into the … Read moreUnderstanding Low Pressure Molding?

Why You Should Consider Ball Grid Array Packaging

BGA Assembly

Do you want to reduce the package size of your chip carrier and get more functionality from each of your chip modules? Then consider ball grid array (BGA) packaging. BGA is a surface mount technology that is rapidly growing in popularity among manufacturers. This packaging technique utilizes the underside of a chip package for greater … Read moreWhy You Should Consider Ball Grid Array Packaging

Are you experiencing SMT Non-Wetting Issues?

Dewetting

Wetting issues are classified by Non-wetting and Dewetting. Non-wetting can be defined by saying it has the inability of molten solder to form a metallic bond with the base metal.  This makes it so the PCB pads or the component’s terminals not catching the solder during the reflow process. Dewetting is a condition that results … Read moreAre you experiencing SMT Non-Wetting Issues?

Surface Mount Technology and Thru-Hole Technology?

Stacked circuit boards

Can a Rigid Printed Circuit Board Include Surface Mount Technology and Thru-Hole Technology? In previous blog posts, we’ve explained the difference between surface mount technology (SMT) and thru-hole technology. The vast majority of rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs) use surface mount technology, because SMT components are smaller than thru-hole components and can be mounted on … Read moreSurface Mount Technology and Thru-Hole Technology?

Why Consider Using Through Hole Printed Circuit Boards?

Blank printed circuit boards

Why Consider Using Through Hole Printed Circuit Boards? In the printed circuit board business, there are two primary ways to mount components onto the circuit board: through-hole mounting and surface mounting. Through-hole mounting is the older technology and requires the circuit board manufacturer to drill holes through the PCB and place leads into the holes. … Read moreWhy Consider Using Through Hole Printed Circuit Boards?
