PCB Delamination: Causes & Cures
Dec 3, 2020|PCB Maintenance, Repair and Troubleshooting
Printed circuit boards require protection from delamination, a potentially damaging condition during production caused by humidity, which erodes the adhesive and allows the base layers to separate. Here’s a closer look at what PCB delamination is, why it occurs, and how to help prevent it.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesives: Guidelines for Flexible Circuit Boards
Dec 3, 2020|Product Innovations and Design, Technological Advancements and Materials
Flexible circuit boards have revolutionized the electronics industry, making it easier for designers to implement complex circuitry in tight or contoured spaces. These flexible circuit boards are composed of many layers of material, which can be bonded together with various adhesives depending on the application. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the role each PCB adhesive plays and...
What is a Bare PCB Board?
Nov 9, 2020|Product Innovations and Design
Photo by Shawn Stutzman Simply put, a bare PCB board refers to a printed circuit board without any through-holes or electronic components added. They’re commonly referred to as a bare PCB, a blank PCB, and sometimes just PCB. An empty PCB board has only the essential pathways, patterns, metal coating, and PCB substrate.
