Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

When selecting a service provider for circuit-board repair or rework, focus on the “three E’s”: expertise, equipment, and economies of scale. Printed-circuit boards (PCBs), no matter what brand or ...

There are a number of complex tasks involved in the manufacturing of electronic assemblies, all of which can go wrong. In order to ensure quality standards are met, the fabrication of the printed ...

The general process of circuit board assembly goes like this: You order your PCBs. You also order your components. For surface mount components, you apply solder paste to the pads, put the components ...

Tired of making countless wire jumpers on my perfboard prototypes, I decided to run an experiment to try to minimize manual ...

Manufacturers rely heavily on automated equipment and robotic machinery to perform assembly tasks when it comes to creating circuit boards. Circuit boards are the lifeblood of modern electronics. To ...

Printed circuit board (PCB) was introduced as a replacement for bulky wiring circuits almost a century ago. Today, it’s the core of the electronics industry, supporting the latest designs like IoT, AI ...

In the modern electronics industry, devices are becoming smaller, faster, and more sophisticated than ever before. To meet these demands, manufacturers require advanced printed circuit boards (PCBs) ...
