The use of flexible printed circuit board technology has become more prevalent lately and has seen a considerable surge, it has a lot to do with its benefits in the growing fields of wearable electronics, complex and High Density Interconnect (HDI) devices, and personal medical electronics. Yun Industrial / ACMS PCB always try to stay … Read moreUnderstanding What Rigid and Flexible PCB is
Often times, people who are not strictly linked with metal works fields, can confuse between the sheet metal punching and the sheet metal stamping. This happens because, at first glance, the meaning of these two words might seem the same. On the contrary, the sheet metal punching and the stamping are really different starting from the equipment required to achieve … Read moreDifferences Between Metal Punching and Stamping
We will be discussing the issue of PCB recycling, if it’s even possible, how it is done and what can we do as electronics design engineers to create more recyclable PCBs. When we say PCB we are meaning a PCB without any components on it. Most electronic devices found out there have their components sitting … Read moreIs it Possible to Recycle Your Unused Printed Circuit Boards?
Why You May Not Want to Work with a Big PCB Assembly Vendor When it comes to hiring parts and assembly vendors, bigger is only better until you need a custom project. You might think that hiring the biggest PCB assembly service provider will mean greater efficiency, but it also means less flexibility. These massive … Read moreWhy You May Not Want to Work with a Big PCB Assembly Vendor
Full Turn Key vs. Partial Turn Key Printed Circuit Board Services You are looking for a PCB assembly provider for a new product. When you call up a printed circuit board manufacturer, the first question you are likely to get is, “Do you want full turn key service or partial turn key service?” What is … Read moreFull Turn Key vs. Partial Turn Key Printed Circuit Board Services
Why Through-Hole Assembly Still Matters Before the 1960s, the through-hole assembly process for mounting components onto printed circuit boards was the only game in town. It was labor-intensive and required a lot of space, but it was the only option. That all changed with the rise of surface mount technology (SMT), which allows for components … Read moreWhy Through-Hole Assembly Still Matters
Flexible Circuits are frequently used as connectors in different applications where flexibility, space savings, or construction constraints limit the service capability of rigid circuit boards or hand wiring. In LCD fabrication, glass is used as a substrate. If thin, flexible plastic or metal foil is used as the substrate instead, the whole system can be … Read moreApplications of Flexible Circuits
What the Heck Is Your PCB Vendor Talking About? – Common Terms for PCB Assembly Every industry has its established lingo, which helps its members communicate more efficiently. If you are on the outside looking in, however, it can seem like they are speaking a foreign tongue. This becomes a problem when you need to … Read moreCommon Terms for PCB Assembly Services
When creating “mixed technology” printed circuit board (pcb) assemblies, once all the surface mount technology (SMT) devices are in place, there are a variety of approaches available for attaching the plated through hole (PTH) components. Traditionally these have included either an operator soldering PTH devices by hand, or utilizing automated equipment known as a wave … Read moreElectronic SMT Assembly Soldering
Acrylic resins (AR) are single component materials. To specify, they are preformed acrylic polymers that are dissolved in a solvent to be applied to surfaces. One main benefit of using an Acrylic conformal coating service on your electronics is it provides an excellent barrier to moisture/humidity and have good fungus resistance. They also have minimal … Read moreWhy Add Acrylic Conformal Coating to Your Printed Circuit Boards
