A lot of times most entrepreneurs and manufacturers think the old ways of manufacturing electronics and printed circuit board manufacturing can be very intimidating because it is a slow process that can be prone to errors, and also expensive, which makes people hesitant to use it. Electronic turn-key assembly manufacturing wasn’t designed for small batch … Read more
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 more
A Ball Grid Array or (BGA) is a SMT (Surface Mount Technology) package that is most commonly used for Integrated Circuits (ICs) with a large number of pins. Ball grid array packaging is a method for reducing package size and integrating a greater number of functions on a single chip module. With it being a high-density and … Read more
Maintaining and troubleshooting your PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) is essential to ensuring the long-term performance of your electronic devices. Whether you’re dealing with high-end industrial equipment or everyday electronics, understanding the intricacies of PCB care can prevent costly downtime and improve the efficiency of your operations. At the core of every reliable system is quality … Read more
SMT Assembly vs. Through-Hole Assembly When you start looking for printed circuit board assembly vendors, you’ll notice that many vendors (including Yun Industrial Acme PCB Assembly) offer two primary types of assembly: SMT assembly and Through-Hole assembly (also called Thru-Hole assembly). These refer to the way that components are mounted on the printed circuit board. … 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
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
