PCB manufacturing consists of many steps, such as PCB CAM, Panelization, Copper patterning, etc. This group is mainly talked about the problems during PCB manufacturing!
Is there any specific method or product available to implement FIFO system. Currently we stack all the D/C in a shelf and we don't have a method to pull the latest D/D first. I would appreciate ...(view more)
We use the toner transfer method to fabricate printed circuit boards. The most difficult part of this is printing, ironing, and removing the paper from the toner that is used as an etchant resist mate...(view more)
The folks over at Lunchbox Electronics are working on a very cool prototype: embedding LEDs inside standard 1×1 Lego bricks. Being a prototype, they needed a cheap way to produce Lego bricks stuffed w...(view more)
subject board fabrication calls for .05 -.125um of gold over 2 - 5 um of nickel. When doing double sided reflow using same profile, parts of the gold are tarnishing and causing test pad failures. any ...(view more)
Can you get money for your old circuit boards? Apparently yes… Anne Staley wrote to me a while back. She was very enthusiastic about the environment and recycling. And she asked me i...(view more)
Etching a printed circuit board generally takes a bit of time and uses a lot of etchant. [TechShopJim] posted a method that uses a sponge to reduce the amount of etchant used while speeding up the ent...(view more)
A few decades ago, Japanese manufacturers of arcade games realized they should make a connector for all their boards that provides the power, controller, video, and audio I/O. This became the JAMMA st...(view more)
Does anyone know how to test for hard gold on a PCB? We are in a challenging situation with a PCB provider and we need some objective evidence other than wire bond failure to present to them. An...(view more)
Has anyone ever encountered contaminants from the immersion silver process, whether it be from the board house or not...as it relates to conformal coating. The failure mode is severe de-wetting of acr...(view more)
