In the production and assembly of electronic products, precise control of process parameters is essential. This is done by continuous monitoring and record of process parameters which includes thermal profiling. Thermal profiling involves controlling the temperatures...
Computer-Aided Manufacturing is the use of software and computer-controlled machinery to automate a manufacturing process.
Annular rings are one of the biggest concerns of PCB designers. You know that you may place your via right in the middle of the pad in the design files, but it just does not mean that you will 100 percent avoid tangencies, or even worse, breakouts. Let’s talk about...
As a circuit board manufacturer, designers often ask us about the difference between IPC Class 2 and Class 3. Class 1 does exist although we rarely produce boards that fall into this classification. Most of the times, even if the end-use of the product only requires...
This presentation will discuss efficient PCB material selection. Before selecting begins, there are many factors to consider. Make sure material characteristics fit your specific board requirements and end application. Today, we will focus on the dielectric...
Multi-layered printed circuit board design requires a means to establish connections between various layers. This is done using vias ranging from through-hole vias to via-in-pad technology. While traces serve as horizontal connection elements, vias function as...
The first checklist we like to implement after receiving Gerber files is signal checks. This checklist holds key parameters that include conductor width, spacing requirements, and hole registration. We would like to shed some light on some of these DFM issues that...
It’s important to find the right PCB manufacturer who can serve as an effective partner. This partner should minimize turnaround time without sacrificing quality, and work as a valuable asset within the competitive IoT space.
Aviation and aerospace is a hot topic right now. The number of aircraft is likely to double in the next 20 years and space is slowly becoming accessible to tourists. And SpaceX will fly you across the globe in less than one hour pretty soon. This means that the number...
