PCB Manufacturing

Whether you’re an electronics hobbyist or a professional engineer, sooner or later you’ll need to build a circuit. To construct that circuit and test it out, you’ll need either a protoboard or a breadboard. But what exactly are these things, and what’s the difference between them? When deciding between a protoboard vs breadboard, there are…

When selecting a printed circuit board surface finish, two leading options are HASL and ENIG. Both provide protective coatings over the copper traces, but have tradeoffs to weigh. Understanding the differences between HASL and ENIG holds immense importance in selecting the ideal method for a specific project. This article will thoroughly explore the key distinctions between

PCB surface finish is a coating or treatment applied to the exposed copper traces and pads of a circuit board. It plays a critical role in PCB functionality and lifespan. This guide will overview 8 major PCB surface finishes including their advantages, limitations and applications. In addition, we list key considerations for selecting the right

For those new to electronics design and manufacturing, the term “bare PCB” may sound confusing or vague. In this beginner’s guide, we will lift the veil on this fundamental component by clearly defining what a bare PCB is, discussing the major benefits it provides, and exploring the different testing methods used to validate these blank PCB

When you receive a quotation from a PCB supplier, a question inevitably pops up: What determines the cost of a PCB? How can I find a board that meets my needs while staying within my budget? In fact, many factors will affect the price of the circuit board such as raw material, board size, order

PCB thickness is one of the important factors to consider when manufacturing printed circuit boards, it affects the conductivity, resistance, and performance of the PCB. In the PCB industry, there is no uniform standard for PCB thickness, but there are some thicknesses that are preferred and commonly used by many manufacturers. These thicknesses can therefore

PCB copy has become increasingly popular in recent years as it enables manufacturers to copy existing PCB designs, components, etc. to create a new identical circuit board. And there is no need to design the circuit board from scratch, therefore, PCB cloning can save a lot of costs and time by shortening the manufacturing process.
