What is a Solder Mask?
Nov 9, 2020|Manufacturing Excellence, Technological Advancements and Materials
Source: Unsplash Solder masks, also known as solder resist masks or solder stop masks, have become more popular as the market demand for printed circuit board manufacturing increases. Since surface mount technology (SMT) becomes the easiest way to mass-produce the components, soldering masks become vital. While hand-soldered assemblies do not require a solder mask, masks are essential for mass-produced PCBs. Here, we...
PCB Panelization
Dec 24, 2019|Manufacturing Excellence, Technological Advancements and Materials
PCB panelization is one of the most effective ways of producing small circuit boards in large quantities. By improving efficiency, this process can reduce costs, shorten manufacturing times, and otherwise make it easier to create devices the use printed circuit boards. “The·Grid PCBs” by Adam Greig is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 What is PCB Panelization PCB panelization is the process of...
PCB Manufacturing Process
Jul 3, 2018|Manufacturing Excellence, Technological Advancements and Materials
If you were to take apart multiple electronic devices, you would find a printed circuit board (PCB), a small green board that has markings on it that resemble a maze. What is a PCB? Those small green boards are what helps makes the electronic device function. Without them, the device would not work. The PCB connects all of the other components...
