Electronic Manufacturing Solutions News

Security often gets pushed to the end of electronics development. Teams focus on the nuts and bolts of things like PCB assembly. They design with an eye to functionality first and plan to add security features later. But by the time your product is built,...

Plated through holes fail when the solder doesn't fill the barrel. This creates voids that compromise the connection between components and the board. IPC standards set minimum fill requirements to prevent these failures. The acceptable percentage depends on your...

Your product is only as strong as your supply chain. And your supply chain is only as strong as the communication between engineering and procurement. Engineering designs products that work. Procurement finds ways to build them affordably. When these two departments...

Your electronics manufacturing business depends on meeting regulatory requirements, but most companies only learn this the hard way. A failed audit here, a rejected shipment there, and suddenly you're scrambling to understand standards you should have implemented...

When you're managing data in the electronic manufacturing services space, the stakes couldn't be higher. Sensitive data ranging from proprietary customer information to classified design files flows through your systems daily. Without proper compliance measures,...

Product failures happen. But when you can't pinpoint the source or identify which other units share the same risk, a simple issue becomes a costly crisis. PCB traceability is your safety net. It's the difference between fixing one bad batch and facing a full product...

Modern PCBs operate at speeds and densities that make signal integrity problems much more likely. Design approaches that worked fine for slower circuits can cause serious issues when applied to higher frequencies. Take a typical high-speed digital circuit. Trace...

You're investing significant time, money, and resources into developing what should be a great product. Yet performance issues like intermittent failures and component breakdowns keep surfacing. If you're troubleshooting these problems and coming up empty, there's a...

When a product fails in the field, the consequences often extend far beyond a simple fix. You might face warranty claims, frustrated customers, delayed shipments, and in severe cases, complete product recalls. In industries like medical devices, aerospace, and...

You might think handling your own PCB assembly in-house is a smart way to cut costs. After all, it gives you control over production, eliminates some vendor coordination, and may seem to improve your overall efficiency. But what if that decision is actually eating...

When you create 5G electronics, your PCB design makes or breaks performance. Multilayer boards drive success in delivering the speed and reliability 5G demands. Your design decisions directly impact how well your boards handle fast signals, manage power, and control...

You might believe your supply chain has all the stability you need. Your vendors deliver consistently, your logistics run smoothly, and production schedules stay on track. But beneath this appearance lies surprising fragility. Recent events have taught manufacturers...
