Introduction PCB trace technology is a cornerstone of modern electronic design, forming the intricate pathways that connect components on a printed circuit board (PCB). These conductive tracks ensure  electrical signals are transmitted accurately and efficiently throughout the circuit. The design and quality of PCB traces can significantly influence the performance, reliability, and functionality of electronic […]

Two primary PCB assembly techniques have emerged as the electronics industry standards: Through-Hole Technology (THT) and Surface Mount Technology (SMT). This article delves into the intricacies of THT and SMT, providing a thorough comparison of their advantages, disadvantages, and applications.   Introduction to PCB Assembly Techniques Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly is a cornerstone of […]

First Article Inspection (FAI) is a systematic sampling inspection procedure that ensures quality. It is a method of conducting inspections strictly in accordance with the requirements of the bill of materials and drawing specifications, in order to identify unknown issues and check the objectivity and accuracy of the parts themselves or in the process, in […]

Choosing the appropriate board is crucial in the PCB manufacturing process. Here are some common PCB boards and their characteristics introduced： 1. **FR-4**: This is the most common type of PCB material, composed of woven glass fibers soaked in epoxy resin. It offers excellent electrical insulation and mechanical strength, making it suitable for a wide range […]

In designing a high-speed analog signal chain, there are many options to consider for printed circuit board (PCB) layout, some more important than others and some dependent on the application. The final answer varies, but in all cases, design engineers should try to eliminate deviations from best practices without obsessing over every detail of layout […]

PCB X ray inspection means using an x ray machine to examine printed circuit boards. X rays are extremely high-frequency and high-energy electromagnetic waves of very short lengths, shorter than those of visible light. These waves can penetrate solid objects. In the world of electronics, manufacturers use the penetrability of x rays to view hidden features of […]
