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?

Flexible Circuit Board Design and Manufacturing

Flexible Circuit Boards

The design rules for flex circuits are similar to the design rules for traditional PCBs.  Traditional PCBs and flex circuits share some similarities in the manufacturing process as well.  To start, the flexible circuit board material (typically copper clad Polyimide) is chosen, drilled, plated, photo-imaged, implement and imprinted just like the conservative PCB process. Next, both … Read moreFlexible Circuit Board Design and Manufacturing
