What is a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)? A printed circuit board, or PCB, is a fundamental component in modern electronic devices. It is a flat board made of insulating materials, such as fiberglass or composite epoxy, with conductive pathways etched or printed onto its surface. These pathways, known as traces, […]

What Is PCB Potting? PCB potting is a process that involves encapsulating the entire PCB and its components in a solid, protective compound. The potting material, typically a two-part epoxy or polyurethane resin, is poured over the PCB and allowed to cure, forming a solid, impenetrable barrier around the board. […]

Introduction to High-Tg PCBs High-Tg PCBs, also known as high glass transition temperature printed Circuit Boards, are a type of PCB that can withstand higher temperatures compared to standard PCBs. The glass transition temperature (Tg) refers to the temperature at which the material transitions from a rigid, glassy state to […]

What is Soldermask and Why is Exposure Important? Soldermask, also known as solder resist or solder mask, is a thin layer of polymer applied to the copper traces of a printed circuit board (PCB). Its primary functions are to: Protect the copper traces from oxidation and corrosion Prevent solder from […]
