All About Solder Escape-Wicking
Sometimes, instead of molten solder remaining on the SMD pad, it may flow away to a connected copper element, typically a copper area or pad that has been left uncovered by soldermask. However, this effect is most pronounced with a nearby via hole that does not have a soldermask web covering or a dam in […]

Across most major industries, overheating is one of the critical concerns, especially for next-generation electronics. Moore’s law states that the number of transistors on integrated chips doubles every two years. While higher transistor density does offer increased computing power, it also leads to greater thermal loads. According to PCB Trace Technologies Inc, this situation calls […]

Most electronic equipment have at least one PCB or printed circuit board inside. The PCB offers a convenient method of physically mounting and electrically interconnecting various electronic components. According to PCB Trace Technologies Inc, the PCB inside an electronic equipment many be simple or advanced depending on its functionality being simple or elaborate. What are […]
Learn MoreComparing Wave Soldering and Reflow Soldering
Soldering is one of the major processes of the printed circuit board assembly. So far, soldering is the only reliable way to attach electronic components to the board without them falling off. In fact, the very existence of printed circuit boards hinges on the process of soldering. Typically, industries use two major types of soldering […]
Learn MoreSoldering Techniques in PCB Assembly
PCB Trace fabricates and assembles various types of printed circuit boards. Depending on the board technology under use, we select the most optimal method of soldering technology. The primary aim of soldering is to anchor the electronic components on the board. Anchoring the components to the board by soldering serves two purposes. One, fixing each […]
