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 more
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 more
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 more
Can a Rigid Printed Circuit Board Include Both Surface Mount and Thru-Hole Technology? When engineers design a rigid printed circuit board (PCB), one of the key decisions they face is choosing the right assembly method. In today’s fast-paced electronics industry, Surface Mount Technology (SMT) dominates due to its compact footprint, cost-efficiency, and performance. But what … Read more
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 more
What You Can Learn About a Vendor By Its Previous Customers Working with a brand new vendor can be risky. So can working with a vendor that hasn’t taken on a client as big or as demanding as you. After all, you don’t want to be the company that forces your vendor to confront brand … Read more
Does Your Circuit Board Vendor Maintain a Clean Environment? Circuit boards are delicate things, and even the smallest particle of dust or contamination can disrupt the functionality of the circuit board, leading to a drop in its efficiency. Circuit board assemblers use a conformal coating to protect circuit boards from contaminants, but problems can arise … Read more
Consider a Conformal Coating for Your Printed Circuit Boards We all know that electronic equipment doesn’t hold up well against the elements without a little help. The same is true of printed circuit boards. The delicate traces, wiring, components, and insulation can easily be damaged by exposure to chemicals, contaminants, and especially moisture. No company … Read more
What is Selective Soldering? With SMT technology growing in popularity, through-hole technology is starting to take up less space on PCB assembly. Although through-hole pins are still necessary for many boards, and they still need to be soldered. Since this process can be very time consuming, many manufacturers have started using selective soldering, which is … Read more
Understanding Through-Hole Technology At Yun Industrial Acme PCB Assembly, we offer a service called through-hole assembly, also known as “tru-hole assembly.” What is this service, and is it something you should consider for your next printed circuit board project? The defining characteristic of through-hole assembly is that holes are drilled through the printed circuit boards, … Read more
