What is a Cold Solder Joint? A cold solder joint is a defective solder connection that occurs when the solder fails to melt and flow properly during the soldering process. This results in a dry, cracked, or incomplete bond between the solder and the surfaces being joined. Cold solder joints […]
Introduction to Keyboard PCBs A keyboard PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is the foundation of any custom mechanical keyboard. It serves as the central nervous system, connecting all the components and enabling the keyboard to function properly. Designing and building a keyboard PCB requires a thorough understanding of various factors, including […]
What is Countersinking and Counterboring? Countersinking and counterboring are two techniques used to create recesses in a printed circuit board (PCB) to accommodate the heads of screws or other fasteners. These techniques are essential for ensuring that the fasteners sit flush with the surface of the PCB, preventing any protrusion […]
Introduction to Flex and Flex-Rigid PCBs Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) and flex-rigid PCBs are versatile interconnect solutions that offer many advantages over traditional rigid PCBs. Flex PCBs consist of a thin insulating polymer film laminated with conductive copper traces. This allows the PCB to bend, fold, and flex, enabling […]
Introduction to Flex-Rigid PCBs Flexible Rigid PCBs, also known as Flex-Rigid PCBs or simply Rigid-Flex PCBs, are a unique combination of rigid and flexible printed circuit board technologies. This innovative design allows for the integration of both rigid and flexible substrates into a single circuit board, offering numerous advantages over […]
