Introduction to PCB Assembly PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assembly is the process of soldering electronic components onto a printed circuit board to create a functional electronic device. It is a crucial step in the manufacturing process of electronic products, as it determines the quality, reliability, and performance of the final […]

Understanding the Basics of PCB and PCBA When it comes to electronic devices, two terms that often come up are PCB and PCBA. While they may sound similar, they refer to different stages in the manufacturing process of electronic circuits. In this article, we’ll explore the differences between PCB and […]

Understanding PCB Protection What are PCBs? PCBs, or Printed Circuit Boards, are the backbone of modern electronic devices. They are the green boards that hold all the electronic components together and allow them to communicate with each other. PCBs are found in almost every electronic device, from smartphones and laptops […]

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 […]

What is Plated Through-Hole (PTH) Technology in PCB? Plated through-hole (PTH) technology is a crucial process in the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs). It involves creating holes in the PCB substrate and plating them with a conductive material, typically copper, to establish electrical connections between different layers of the […]
