Factors Affecting Finished Hole Size Several factors can influence the finished hole size, leading to deviations from the intended diameter. These factors include: Drill Bit Size and Tolerance The drill bit size is the primary factor that determines the finished hole size. However, drill bits are manufactured with certain tolerances, […]

History of Carbon Contacts The use of carbon contacts dates back to the early 20th century when they were first developed for use in telegraph systems. At the time, carbon was chosen as a contact material due to its high electrical conductivity and resistance to wear and oxidation. As technology […]

Introduction to MCPCB Metal Core Printed Circuit Boards (MCPCBs) are a specialized type of PCB that uses a metal substrate instead of the traditional FR-4 material. The metal substrate, typically aluminum, provides excellent Thermal Conductivity, making MCPCBs ideal for applications that generate significant heat, such as high-power LED lighting and […]

What are PCB Vias? Printed Circuit Board (PCB) vias are small holes drilled through the board to create electrical connections between different layers of a multi-layer PCB. Vias allow signals to pass from one layer to another, enabling more complex circuit designs and more efficient use of board space. They […]

History of Assembly Manufacturing The concept of assembly manufacturing dates back to the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. The introduction of interchangeable parts and the division of labor allowed for the mass production of goods, which revolutionized the manufacturing industry. In the early 20th century, the automotive industry […]

Understanding Copper Thickness Tolerances in PCB Manufacturing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the backbone of modern electronics, providing a platform for components to be mounted and interconnected.
