We share information, tips and things we've learned from our years in the PCB and PCBA manufacturing industry.
Why You need to understand short circuits It's 2 a.m. and the room is quiet—until a muted pop from the wall outlet throws the house into darkness and the acrid smell of burning insulation fills the air. What happened wasn't an overload or a lightning strike; it was a short circuit—electricity's way of taking an unauthorized shortcut. In the […]
What is an Open Circuit? An open circuit refers to a break or interruption in an electrical path that prevents current from flowing. In simple terms, an open circuit occurs when the conductive path in a circuit is not complete—much like a disconnected wire or a missing connection on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Definition […]
The electronics we carry every day—from smartwatches to EV-power modules—are possible largely because of one manufacturing leap: the surface-mount device (SMD). By allowing parts to be placed directly on the surface of a printed-circuit board (PCB), SMD technology condensed entire radios, computers, and sensors into pocket-sized form factors. Introduction 1. The Evolution of Electronic Assembly […]
Introduction In today's fast-paced world of electronics manufacturing, the need for smaller, more efficient, and reliable devices has never been greater. The key to achieving these goals lies in two fundamental technologies that have revolutionized how modern electronics are built: SMD (Surface-Mounted Devices) and SMT (Surface-Mount Technology). Both SMD and SMT have become essential in the design and […]
Introduction Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has revolutionized electronics manufacturing by enabling ever-smaller, higher-performance circuit boards. From the smartphones in our pockets to advanced automotive control units, SMT underpins the devices we rely on every day. In this article, we'll demystify SMT—what it is, how it works, and why it matters—so that engineers, hobbyists, and decision-makers […]
Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) plays a pivotal role in the world of electronics manufacturing. Think of PCBA as the essential step that brings a PCB to life, making it ready for use in everything from consumer gadgets to complex medical equipment. In this article, we'll break down PCBA—its definition, types, processes, and quality control—giving […]
