Today’s electronic packages have high clock speeds (multi-gigahertz range), fine pin densities (below 0.4-mm pitch), and high pin counts (over 2000). When assembled onto a printed-circuit board (PCB), ...

Eurocircuits, a European producer of small batch PCBs, has teamed up with Elsyca, a Belgian research company specialising in advanced electrochemical modelling, to implement PCB plating using Elsyca’s ...

In PCB manufacturing, the hole size to thickness ratio , also known as the aspect ratio , is a critical factor that influences the quality of hole plating. This ratio is calculated by dividing the PCB ...

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are core components in every mobile phone, television and computer. One of the most important methods of fabricating large PCBs involves the precision electroplating of ...

For the few double-sided PCBs we’ve actually etched at home we simply soldered a piece of wire to either side of a via and clipped off the excess. But if you want to go the extra mile you can’t beat ...

Preventing plating and soldering voids is about testing new manufacturing processes and analyzing the results. Plating and soldering voids usually have an identifiable cause, such as the type of ...

Conductive filament exists, but it takes more than that to 3D print something like a circuit board. The main issue is that traces made from conductive filament are basically resistors; they don’t act ...

Impact of PCB plating Finish on Elastomer Socket Technology Ila Pal – Ironwood Electronics Introduction Today’s electronic packages have high clock speeds (multi GHz range), fine pin densities (below ...

Today’s electronic packages have high clock speeds (multi-gigahertz range), fine pin densities (below 0.4-mm pitch), and high pin counts (over 2000). When assembled onto a printed-circuit board (PCB), ...
