Printed circuit boards are perhaps the most important invention for technology since usable electricity. Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine a world without circuit boards, as almost all of our electronic devices use them. But the circuit board did not start out that way. To understand how much of an impact it has had on Read More…
You can find printed circuit boards in almost every electronic device. Given what they are able to accomplish, it is no surprise. However, what are printed circuit boards used for and why do they find such common use? What Do PCBs Do? It is hard to state a singular use of PCBs because there is Read More…
PCB manufacturing has seen multiple technological overhauls over the years. Each one has revolutionized how PCBs can function and gives us the technology we have today. Currently, PCB manufacturing utilizes the SMT process. Now, you might be wondering, “What does SMT stand for in PCB manufacturing?” The simple answer is that it stands for Surface-Mounted Read More…
Printed circuit boards, or PCBs, can come in all shapes and sizes due to the variety of electronics that need them. From a thick ¼ inch to a thin .2 mm, the thickness of a PCB can vary greatly depending on the demand. That is why it is important to know how to choose the Read More…
PCB fabrication and design can come in many different styles. Each has its own benefits and deficits. When you create your own PCB, you will need to decide what kind of PCB you want. In order to do this, you will need to know the differences between each option. One big decision you will need Read More…
Careful planning during the design of a PCB is the key to making high-speed circuitry. Without advanced thought put into the creation of the PCB, it will be almost impossible to get the high speeds that you are looking for. To achieve these high speeds, you should use these PCB design considerations for high-speed digital Read More…
Single-sided, double-sided, and multilayered are the three main types of PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). There are several individual stages deployed in the course of PCB assembly. All of them need to function as a team to produce an overall integrated process. Every stage needs to flow into the next, and feedback after the final stage Read More…
Printed circuit boards, both rigid and flexible, have been prevalent since the United States Army developed the Auto-Sembly process in the mid-1950s. Since their invention, printed circuit boards have made their way into nearly every electronic device you use in your daily life. One of the most important steps in manufacturing these widespread devices is Read More…
In a world that is totally dependent on technology, it is only natural that the world of circuit board prototyping becomes more and more complex. This especially goes for PCB assembly and fabrication, as more advanced electronics require more advanced circuit board layouts. When designing a new circuit board prototype, the entire focus of your Read More…
There are plenty of different kinds of circuit boards, but in general, there are three major types of printed PCB fabrication: single-sided, double-sided, and multi-layered. However, no matter the type, one thing is for sure and that is the need for SMT stencils. In the world of circuit board prototyping, an SMT stencil is needed Read More…
