What Do You Actually Need to Make a Printed Circuit Board? Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the backbone of nearly every electronic device in today’s world. If it has computing power—whether it’s a medical device, automotive module, smartphone, industrial controller, appliance, or aerospace system—it relies on a PCB to function. But what does it really … Read more
Understanding Silk Screen Technology in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Adding the silkscreen layer onto a printed circuit board is the final step in the fabrication process. Silkscreen is a layer that uses ink traces to identify all the PCB board components, test points, parts of the PCB, warning symbols, logos and marks etc. These shapes, … Read more
There are a few fundamental constructions of flexible circuit boards, but there is an important variation between the different types of conditions in their production. Following is an evaluation of the most general types of flexible circuit board constructions. Single-sided Flexible Circuits Single-sided flexible circuits contain a single conductor layer prepared of either a metal or … Read more
When it comes to building reliable and high-performance Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), two primary component-mounting methods dominate the industry: Through-Hole Technology (THT) and Surface Mount Technology (SMT). Each method has its advantages, disadvantages, and ideal use cases depending on the application. At Yun Industrial Acme PCB Assembly, we specialize in both techniques—because the right choice … Read more
