Colorful PCBs Does Solder Mask Hue Impact Functionality- Circuit Board Assembly

Traditionally, circuit boards are green. But today's world is more diverse -- even when it comes to PCBs! Although green boards are still popular, many PCB assembly services now offer a variety of solder mask colors to customers. What does this mean for the PCB fabrication and Circuit Board Assembly process? And can you expect to receive all different hues of PCBs when you place an order for circuit board assembly services? We'll discuss this colorful topic in today's post. In years past, PCB solder mask was almost exclusively green There are a few reasons for this. One is that [...]

SMD Components-PCB Assembly & SMT Assembly & Circuit board Assembly

For many years now, the hybrid electronic industry has been using the art of reflow soldering and refining it. Therefore, one cannot consider reflow soldering a new manufacturing process. The advent of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and lead-free soldering has further expanded the methods and techniques the industry uses for reflow soldering. Goals of Reflow Soldering of Circuit board Assembly Reflow soldering aims to satisfy two basic goals. The first goal is more traditional, including: Achieving maximum flexibility in allowing soldering of a large number of components while minimizing the changeover time.Achieving uniform, durable, and effective solder joints The second [...]

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 [...]

What to Expect from a Flex PCB Manufacturer

The constant usage of electronic products in our day-to-day life and the extensive array of devices we use for varied applications is quite evident of our dependence upon them. But have you ever thought what these devices are dependent upon for their smooth operation? Printed circuit boards to be precise. What is a Flexible Printed circuit Board? Flexible circuit boards are best suited for electronic devices, and are made of plastic layers like polyimide film (in many cases and for special purposes, fluorocarbon and aramid films are also used). The flexible laminate of the PCB consists of a conducting [...]

Something About Heavy Copper PCBs

Heavy Copper PCBs are printed circuit boards featuring copper conductors 3 oz/ft2 – 10 oz/ft2 in inner or outer layers. These printed circuit boards are valued immensely, due to their thermal management capabilities. When heavier copper is electroplated to the PCB, it ensures high reliability and efficient power distribution. This post discusses heavy copper PCBs in detail. Advantages of Heavy Copper PCB Heavy copper PCBs are normally used in high power transmission applications due to several advantages they offer. Let us look at few of them. Heavy base copper allows delivery of consistent and reliable power. The [...]

What Factors Slow Down PCB Manufacturing- prototype PCB assembly-quick turn PCB assembly

Most people who need PCB and PCB assembly services don't have a lot of extra time to spare. That's why there's an increased need for faster services that don’t sacrifice quality or are too expensive. But finding the right PCB partner can be difficult without thoroughly researching all the options. Not all PCB manufacturing companies are created equal; if you make assumptions, you could end up dealing with unnecessary (and costly) delays you hadn't anticipated. Let's take a closer look at some of the factors that can slow down the PCB manufacturing process. Prototyping Delays: If you're developing a [...]

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. [...]
