Several layers of PCB is the best? A designer according to the complexity of the circuit to determine the number of PCB layers. Single-layer PCB Sometimes, we will create a simple single-layer P...
Analog circuit noise is to limit the performance of the main factors. Noise is divided into the following categories: Conduction (Conducted Emissions) - analog circuits and other circuits connected ...
Bypassing the power supply at the amplifier’s supply terminals to minimize noise is a critical aspect of the PCB design process—both for high-speed op amps and any other high-speed circuitry. There ar...
Pin-in-paste is the technique of intrusive soldering through-hole components to a circuit board using reflow soldering. Typically, solder paste can be printed and this will provide enough solder for ...
The impetus for writing the Patty and the Professor series, in 2009, <posts here> <hardcopy book here> came from my observations that many assemblers were not very focused on productivit...
Folks, My interest was piqued by a recent article from the pen of good friend, Ray Rasmussen. In this piece, Ray reviews a presentation by Phil Plonski of Prismark Partners on a tear down analysis of...
DuPont Microcircuit Materials (MCM) has developed a broad and growing portfolio of CB Series screen printed ink materials for rigid and flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs). Current offerings inclu...
Stands for "printed circuit board." A PCB is a thin board made of fiberglass, composite epoxy, or other laminate material. Conductive pathways are etched or "printed" onto board, connecting different ...
A relatively new procedure has been developed to enable a single reflow operation to solder both surface mount and conventional through-hole components on the same board. This is particularly desirabl...
There are still components that are not available in surface mount configuration (for example, some connectors and capacitors). Therefore, some assemblies have through-hole and surface mount component...
To achieve higher component density, the double-sided assembly technology has evolved. Double-sided circuit boards have copper tracking and component pads (land pattern) on the top and bottom side of...
Since the introduction of automated PCB assembly and component lead soldering, wave soldering has been the mainstream method of applying solder automatically to the bottom side of PCBs. Wave soldering...
Since the introduction of automated PCB assembly and component lead soldering, wave soldering has been the mainstream method of applying solder automatically to the bottom The PCB is passed though the...
Reflow soldering is the making of solder joints by (re) melting previously applied solder, usually in the form of a paste. A re-flow machine is a conveyorised oven that transports the pasted and compo...
Single sided PCB assembly requires components to be assembled on only one side of the circuit board and is the least complex of PCB surface mount assembly processes. Double sided and variants of surfa...
To achieve accurate positioning of components, surface mount assembly PCBs must be designed to ensure that component pad (land pattern) dimensions and layout are in accordance with good practice and t...
The best-expected manual insertion rate of through-hole components is 200 to 400 components per hour. Automation has been a prime objective for printed circuit board assemblers since the electronics i...
Fundamentally, there are two PCB design systems - through hole and surface mount. In through-hole process, components have connecting pins that are pushed through plated holes (vias) in the PCB and pr...
Surface-mount circuitry of the PCBs does not require a hole for each component lead. Automated testing, however, may require vias on every node. The holes were never an issue with through-hole circuit...
