Single Sided Mixed Technology Reflow Process

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...

Mixed Technology PCB Assembly

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...

Double Sided PCB Assembly and Soldering

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...

Re-flow Soldering Process

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 Surface Mount PCB Assembly

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...

Component Placement onto the Printed Circuit Board

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...

Printed Circuit Board Designs

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-PCB

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...

Through-Hole Considerations-PCB

The older technology for op amps and other components is through-hole. Components are constructed with leads that insert through holes in the board hence the name. Through-hole components, due to th...

Trace Reflections-PCBs

Reflections and matching are closely related to loop antenna theory, but different enough to warrant their own discussion. When a PCB trace turns a corner at a 90 angle, a reflection can occur. This i...

Board Stack-Up The Order of Layers

There has been a lot of confusion in the past over what is the optimum order for PCB layers. Take, for example, a 4-layer board consisting of two signal layers, a power plane, and a ground plane. Is i...
