Why You Need 3D X-Ray Testing- Printed Circuit Board Assembly-Hitech PCB

Printed circuit board assembly has come a long way in recent years. Now that PCB assembly can easily be performed by machine, PCB manufacturers have been able to increase their production and drastically reduce the time required for this process. In fact, a few PCB assemblers even offer standard turnaround times of three days or less -- 75% faster than the industry average. However, clients who rely on these circuit boards will never be willing to sacrifice quality for speed. In order to ensure PCB production maintains a high-quality standard and exceeds customer expectations, PCB assemblers must prioritize testing during [...]

Electrostatic Discharge and Its Effect on PCBs- Advanced PCB Assembly-Hitech PCB

If you've decided on a source for PCB assembly services, you'll already know how intricate this work can be. PCB designers use computer-based design software to design a board's circuit pattern. The spaces between these electrical conducting paths are often smaller than 0.04 inches in size. This production requires precise work; unfortunately, the integrity of a PCB can be compromised with any minuscule mistake or even a tiny change in the environment. What is ESD and what causes it? ESD, or electrostatic discharge, refers to what occurs when two objects with opposing charges come into contact with one another. [...]

Why Rapid PCB Prototyping is so Important?

Why Rapid PCB Prototyping is so Important? As the need for manufacturers to increase their time-to-market speed increases, the need for faster PCB prototyping also increases. Rapid Printed Circuit Board Prototyping is usually the step that takes the longest in the whole process and, as such, needs to be shortened in practical ways because new software and features can only be tested out on prototypes. Let’s take a more in-depth look at why rapid PCB prototyping is so important. Short Turnarounds The best express PCB prototyping methods all have one thing in common: short turnaround times. This means that new [...]

Common PCB Fabrication Mistakes, and How to Fix Them

A prototype printed circuit board fabrication is an electronic circuit that can be used for a variety of reasons. A typical PCB layout consists of up to 36 layers, and the most simple prototype PCBs contain copper tracks that interconnect with each other on only one of its surfaces, known as 1 layer PCB. Considering that PCB fabrication can be a bit complicated with all those layers, the potential for mistakes is large. Mistakes can cause short circuiting and circuit board failure, and they are most often due to poor planning during the PCB fabrication process. So in order [...]
