Introduction to Peelable Soldermask A peelable soldermask, also known as a temporary soldermask or removable soldermask, is a protective coating applied to printed circuit boards (PCBs) during the manufacturing process. This special type of soldermask is designed to be easily removed from specific areas of the PCB when needed, allowing […]

What is PCB Assembly? PCB assembly is the process of attaching electronic components to a printed circuit board. The process involves several steps, including: Solder Paste Application: A thin layer of solder paste is applied to the PCB’s contact pads using a stencil or screen printing process. Component Placement: The […]

What is temperature correction? Temperature correction is a method used to compensate for the influence of temperature variations on the measurement of a parameter. It involves adjusting the measured value of a parameter to account for the deviation caused by temperature changes. By applying temperature correction, the true value of […]

Introduction to PCB Data Upload Uploading PCB (printed circuit board) data is an essential step in the PCB design and manufacturing process. PCB data contains all the necessary information required to fabricate the physical circuit board, including the copper layers, drill holes, component footprints, and more. Properly preparing and uploading […]

Introduction to cEDM cEDM, or Collaborative Electronic Design and Manufacturing, is a groundbreaking approach that combines the power of collaborative design with the efficiency of modern manufacturing techniques. This innovative methodology is transforming the way electronics are designed and produced, enabling companies to bring their products to market faster, more […]

What are Build-ups? Build-ups, in the context of construction and engineering, refer to the process of gradually increasing the complexity or size of a structure or system. This approach is commonly used in various fields, such as software development, manufacturing, and project management. The main purpose of build-ups is to […]

What are Cross Sections? A cross section is a view of an object as if it had been sliced through to reveal its internal structure. Imagine cutting a loaf of bread in half and looking at the exposed surface – this is essentially a cross section. Cross sections can be […]

Types of Delivery Terms There are two primary sets of delivery terms used in international trade: Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Terms Incoterms Incoterms, developed by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), are a set of predefined commercial terms widely used in international trade contracts. They define […]

Understanding Lead Free Soldering Lead-free soldering is the process of joining two or more metal surfaces using a lead-free solder alloy. The most common lead-free solder alloys are tin-silver-copper (SAC) alloys, with the most popular being SAC305 (96.5% tin, 3% silver, and 0.5% copper). Advantages of Lead Free Soldering Environmentally […]
