The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

The reasons why it’s best, or perhaps not a good idea, to bring your PCB/SMT assembly in-house. How to select the PCB/SMT equipment you’ll need to get started—stencil printer, pick-and-place machine, ...

The global electronics industry continues to rely heavily on China’s advanced PCB manufacturing capabilities. As electronic devices become increasingly sophisticated, the demand for high-quality ...

Surface-mount technology (SMT) is evolving far beyond its roots as a way of assembling packaged chips onto printed circuit boards without through-holes. It is now moving inside packages that will ...

Würth Elektronik has restructured its SMT spacers for PCBs to use lead-free alloys. This gives electronics manufacturers greater planning certainty in view of the RoHS exemption expiring at the end of ...

As electronic products move from prototyping to mass production, manufacturers must rely on efficient, scalable, and ...

Scientists from the Université de Sherbrooke in Canada have fabricated a prototype of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module based on the so-called surface-mount technology (SMT) – a technique that ...

Manufacturing of a modern component-laded printed circuit board (PCB) is an amazing fusion and coordination of diverse technologies. There’s the board as substrate itself, the stencils and masks that ...

At the heart of all modern electronics lies the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA), a critical process that entails the mounting of various electronic components — resistors, capacitors, and ...
