Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM/A) or Predictive Engineering Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM/A) or Predictive Engineering Advances in interconnection technologies have occurred in response to the evolution of component packages, electronic technology and increasing complex functions. The printed circuit, therefore, has become the most popular and cost-efficient way to physically execute an electronic circuit. Fabrication, assembly and test technologies have responded by making their technologies more complex. The increased complexity and capabilities have made Read Article
Problem Solving Methodology for PCB Designers Problem Solving Methodology for PCB Designers One of the skills that is useful when working in a high-technology industry like electronics is problem- solving. If you are an engineer, then this is one of your key focuses in your career. Even if you are not, having good problem-solving skills is always useful. In electronics manufacturing today, problems in production will involve numerous ‘cause-factors’, many of which are design created. PCB designer communication is essential. The timing Read Article
Slaying the 90⁰ Right-Angle Bend Dragon Slaying the PCB 90⁰ Right-Angles Bend Dragon As anyone designing PCBs knows, there are a lot of “Rules-of-Thumb” and myths that have populated the industry. One of the areas where misinformation continues to abound focuses on 90° angle bends in PCB traces. A pretty good job has been done to address some of the most outlandish aspects of the bad data such as avoiding right-angle bends because electrons would go flying off the corners and not using them because the copper in the corners can Read Article
SAP and mSAP in Flexible Circuit Fabrication SAP and mSAP in Flexible Circuit Fabrication Question: What is SAP and mSAP? This is an excellent question. These acronyms are getting a lot of attention lately and are relatively new acronyms for the PCB industry, which ironically is infamous for using them. SAP and mSAP are not new terms to the electronics industry, they are common processes in IC substrate fabrication, but these are processes that are emerging technology in the PCB fabrication segment. After saying this is new technology Read Article
