What methods can be applied to verify PCB functionality and safety? Which are suitable for mass production and for prototypes? What parameters are checked in each test? How to check a PCB without ...

There are many misunderstandings regarding how the type of manufacturing technology used in the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs) relates to automated test. To dispel some of the confusion, it ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

Production test of a finished electronic product often involves two techniques: in-circuit test (ICT) and functional component test (FCT). The ICT technique examines a non-powered circuit board to ...

University of Glasgow research demonstrates manufacturing process for zinc-based circuit boards that can either degrade through soil composting or be dissolved to recover components, with life cycle ...

Manufacturers have a great deal of flexibility when deciding where and how to program their devices. Components can be programmed at many stages during the procurement and manufacturing process. This ...

Circuit boards which are almost entirely biodegradable have been developed by researchers at the University of Glasgow, electroplating circuitry onto compostable substrates – including chocolate.
