Advantages of Through Hole Technology: It’s Not Dead Yet

Once surface-mount technology became the preferred package type in circuit board design and manufacturing, the downfall of older through-hole parts was all but certain. But just like 007, these parts refuse to go quietly into the night and continue to serve a vital need in circuit board assemblies. Here are some of the advantages of through-hole technology and why these components are still an essential part of the electronics industry.

Common Printed Circuit Board Problems: Testing

Manufacturers test printed circuit board assemblies to validate the assembly process and verify their ability to run as designed. PCB contract manufacturers have different tests that they can run, but sometimes their ability to test the completed circuit boards is hampered by design errors or other problems. Here we’ll look at some common printed circuit board problems with testing and how you can avoid them with good PCB design and layout tactics.

PCB Test Technician: What is it and How to Become One

Modern PCB testing processes use different systems depending on the type and technology of the circuit board. Systems like in-circuit tests are designed to quickly validate the high volumes of circuit boards for production builds of electronic products. However, even with the level of automation used in these systems, test technicians are still needed to prepare the equipment for operation, run the tests, and report on the results. Here we’ll look at what it means to be a PCB test technician and how you can become one.

Common Printed Circuit Board Problems: Assembly

Often, design for manufacturability (DFM) problems originate during PCB layout but aren’t given the attention they deserve. When this happens, it falls on the manufacturer to find the errors, return the design for corrections, or make the alterations themselves. This circumstance could turn into an expensive and time-consuming process that could be avoided if design teams were better prepared in the early stages. To help identify these potential issues and ensure PCB designs are production-ready before they are sent out, here are some common printed circuit board problems in the assembly that you should know.
