PCB assembly is becoming more demanding as electronics continue to evolve toward higher performance, greater miniaturization, and increased reliability requirements. For OEMs, understanding current PCB assembly trends is critical not only for successful production but also for reducing risk across design, quality, and supply chain...
Read MoreEvery electronic product begins with its printed circuit board (PCB). While most people focus on components and design layout, the materials and surface finish of the board itself play a major role in performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Read MoreElectrostatic discharge, or ESD, is one of the most common yet underestimated causes of damage in electronic assemblies. Even a static event as small as one hundred volts, far below human perception, can permanently weaken sensitive semiconductor devices.
Read MoreEvery electronic product faces environmental challenges that can compromise performance and reliability. Moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature variations can all degrade circuit integrity over time. That is where conformal coating plays a vital role.
Read MoreEvery electronic device generates heat during operation, and managing that heat is essential to ensure consistent performance and reliability. In high-density printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies, improper thermal control can lead to component failure, solder fatigue, or long-term degradation of materials.
