The molding materials used to package lead-free components differ from conventional epoxies in two ways: They take up moisture more slowly, and they better resist higher temperatures. But at the ...
SHENZHEN, GUANGDONG, CHINA, June 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Reliability in printed circuit board assembly often hinges on the integrity of the solder joint ...
It has taken almost a decade for automated optical inspection (AOI) systems to establish their place on PCB production lines. In the same period, the number of AOI vendors and the variety of AOI ...
Conversely,experienced embedded designers know to mask or tent BGA vias at thedesign and layout level. Even when this step is omitted, adesign-for-manufacture (DFM) check mapped out at the planning ...
In our previous issues in this series on making circuit boards, we covered placing solder paste and placing components. Now it’s time to bake our cake! There are a variety of methods for reflowing a ...
One high-volume OEM proves that even simple feedback from an AOI system can reduce end-of-line defects by an order of magnitude. Until recently, the use of pre-reflow optical inspection usually was ...
