PCB design translates electrical schematics into a functional product, and its quality directly impacts production efficiency and product reliability. For beginners, mastering PCB layout can be challenging despite familiarity with design software, and common issues often arise. Here, seasoned engineers from KKPCB share their PCB layout insights to help avoid these pitfalls and inspire best practices. Component Placement...
Thin and Thick Film Resistors are the most common types in the market. They are characterized by a resistive layer on a ceramic base. Although their appearance might be very similar, their properties and manufacturing process are very different. The naming originates form the different layer thicknesses. Thin film has a thickness in the order of 0.1μm...
SMT, the short form of Surface Mount Technology, a type of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assembly technology, refers to the technology of getting components directly soldered onto the surface of PCB to replace THT (Through-Hole Technology) that has to make use of drilling holes. This article will discuss the essential elements of SMT assembly so that readers are able...
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) board assembly is a critical and widely used process in modern PCB manufacturing. This process involves placing and soldering electronic components directly onto the surface of PCB pads. Alongside Plated Through-Hole (PTH) assembly, it is one of the two primary PCB assembly methods. SMT assembly is highly efficient and accurate, making it...
