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? 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?
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 moreWhat You Can Learn About a Vendor By Its Previous Customers

Summer is here, and as we begin to crank up the AC, it is important to remember that your electronic parts and products could be in danger as well, especially if they operate (or are left) in extremely hot or extremely cold environments. Just imagine what would happen to a phone left inside a car … Read moreTaking Proper Care of Your Electronic Instruments in Extreme Heat
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 moreDoes Your Circuit Board Vendor Maintain a Clean Environment?
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 moreConsider a Conformal Coating for Your Printed Circuit Boards
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 moreWhat is Selective Soldering?
In Mold Labeling (IML) With in-mold labeling, cut imprinted plastic films, also known as labels, are placed to precisely fit into the injection mold by means of a handling unit. The labels are fixed in place through application of vacuum or static electricity charge, and then rear injected with plastic material. Then heat and pressure … Read moreUnderstanding the In Mold Labeling (IML) Process
