Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the essential components of every electronic device in the modern age. These are small pieces that lay a foundation for appliances, communication devices and industrial machinery alike. With frequent advancements in technology, these...

Flex board designs are not just a luxury, but a requirement for several applications. Multiple sectors, including medicine and aerospace, utilize flex PCBs to accommodate elaborately or tightly shaped form factors. However, before choosing a particular class type from...

Printed circuit boards or PCBs undergo a lot of abuse. Besides accumulating dirt and dust that can easily penetrate components of industrial machines, smartphones and other devices, they’re prone to the soaking and splashing from the liquids they occasionally come in...

Assembling printed circuit boards is no easy task. It requires a myriad of complex procedures, a skilled labor force and sophisticated machinery. Companies that demand PCB assemblies know how costly the process can become. The priority, therefore, is to modify the...

In a printed circuit board (PCB) production run, the components are not manually soldered. The soldering in the manufacturing process uses the same principles employed in the prototyping process but draws on some heavy-hitting machinery to get the job done. The use of...

Designers of printed circuit boards usually generate a prototype board before embarking on full-scale PCB manufacturing. Typically, multiple prototype runs are included in the development of the final fabricated PCB. Prototypes are typically developed for...

In PCB production, testing is a vital part of the manufacturing operation. Without a robust testing process, there is always the risk of overlooking serious manufacturing flaws or defects that could result in the failure of the products. Such failures can result in...

Printed circuit boards have become highly sophisticated, and as a result, they often cost more. But that’s not the only thing driving up the price. Design errors lead to waste and increased prices. If manufacturers can eliminate the mistakes, they will have less waste...

A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used in many instruments and devices. PCBs power cameras, smartphones, computers, gaming devices, alarm clocks, refrigerators, and more. Generally, printed circuit boards are affordable, which is why we can get amazing electronics...

High school seniors who want to enter the engineering profession have to choose between the different engineering categories, each of which has its own purposes and attributes. The various categories in the field of engineering involve different types of training that...

Electronic devices, electrical devices—same thing, right? The correct answer is no, but you’re not alone if you use the terms interchangeably. Many people mix them up, even though they refer to two distinct things. Both devices use electrical energy for doing work....

Printed circuit boards are found in almost every electronic product on the market. Improvement in technology has allowed designers to push the limits for PCBs, making them smaller and thinner and able to be produced in massive quantities. Since PCBs are manufactured...
