Difference Between PCB Manufacturing and PCB Assembly

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a fundamental component of all electronic devices, serving as the “command center” that ensures their functionality. However, many business owners struggle to differentiate between PCB manufacturing and PCB assembly, often leading to suboptimal decisions. This article clarifies the distinction and importance of both processes. What is PCB Manufacturing? PCB manufacturing is the process of creating...

What is a High Frequency PCB?

High-frequency PCBs are specialized circuit boards designed to transmit signals over a gigahertz (GHz) frequency range, ensuring quick and reliable communication in devices ranging from military radar systems to smartphones. These boards maintain signal integrity even at high frequencies, which is crucial for the functionality and efficiency of modern electronic devices. Stick around, and let’s explore...

PCB Warpage: Causes, Prevention & Solutions Explained

When designing and manufacturing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), one common yet often overlooked issue is warpage. Warping occurs when the PCB bends or twists, leading to alignment issues during assembly. This deformation can cause misalignment of components, poor solder joints, and even failure of the final product. In this article, we will explore what causes PCB warpage,...

What is the difference between immersion gold and gold plating in PCB?

Surface finishes in PCBs are vital for ensuring solderability, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance. They help components bond securely to the board, ensure smooth signal flow, and protect the PCB from environmental damage. Without a proper surface finish, a PCB may not function correctly or could wear out faster. Immersion Gold (ENIG) and Gold Plating are two popular gold...

What is an IC PCB? Learn About IC Boards and Their Applications

Integrated Circuits (ICs) are small, compact electronic components that combine multiple elements—such as transistors, capacitors, and resistors—onto a single microchip. These ICs are essential for processing data and controlling signals in countless devices, powering everything from smartphones to industrial machinery. IC PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) enable the integration of ICs into electronic devices, making them smaller, faster,...
