Learn MoreSerial Number on PCB Circuit Boards
Printed circuit boards flow from the bare board state through screen printing, component population, automated optical inspection, and finally through the soldering oven. Each of the above steps adds value to the board. According to PCB Trace Technologies Inc, it is necessary to establish traceability of the quality data to repair or replace an electronic […]
Learn MoreKey Questions to Ask a PCB Manufacturer
Before finalizing a future printed circuit boards supplier, a lot of reviews and screening are necessary from the customer’s side. PCB Trace Technologies Inc recommends never rushing to choose a PCB manufacturing and assembly service without adequate screening by the customer. When screening, it is necessary to ask them key questions. This will not only […]
Learn MorePlated Through Holes in PCBs
Contrary to popular belief and although not very obvious, most printed circuit boards are actually full of holes. Designers and manufacturers require holes in PCBs for many purposes, with some of them necessary for mounting mechanical components, others for fixing the board in its enclosure, while still others necessary while mounting the board of machines […]
Learn MoreWhat are 3-D Printed PCBs
For those in urgent need of printed circuit boards for prototypes and other purposes, PCB Trace Technologies Inc suggests 3-D printed boards. It is much faster to make 3-D printed circuit boards compared to methods using traditional technologies. 3-D printing is more versatile, and produces significant cost savings while being able to produce more complex […]
