North American PCB Manufacturing Sales Up, Orders Down in June
IPC revealed today the June 2016 findings from its regular monthly North American Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Statistical Program. Compared to the same month in 2013, PCB Manufacturing sales growth was solid while orders were down, causing a decrease in the book-to-bill proportion to 0.98. Overall North American PCB manufacturing shipments in June 2016 were […]
Flex PCB: Just what remains in a Name?
Flex PCB is a typical term that is synonymous with flexible circuits. While the term “PCB” is normally used to describe stiff printed wiring, “flex PCB” is a little inconsistent since “boards” aren’t truly flexible. Some companies, like All Flex, design and also produces flex PCBs, yet not rigid PCBs. There are lots of resemblances […]
Small Growth for Pcb Manufacturing Global Markets Forecast Predicted by BCC Research
Printed circuit boards (PCB) are common markers of the semiconductor transformation although they predate the arrival of modern-day electronic devices by a number of decades. BCC Research exposes in its brand-new record that the complexity of PCBs lies much more in the distinct nature of their market mechanics compared to in their technical support. PCB […]
PCB manufacturing AOI solution vendor Orbotech Has Another Strong Trading Session
The stock of Orbotech Ltd is a big mover today! About 168,632 shares traded hands. Orbotech Ltd which is leading PCB manufacturing AOI remedy has actually increased 26.26% considering that December 21, 2015 and also is uptrending. It has actually outperformed by 19.07% the S&P 500. The step follows 9 months positive chart configuration for […]
Top 5 Common Flex PCB Design Errors
Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) offers a significant opportunity for the packing developer and electronic designer. These flexible electronic wiring systems can be shaped, bent, twisted and folded right into limitless dimensional setups … restricted just by a developer’s origami creativity. In this regard they provide substantial design advantages over a 2 dimensional and also rigid […]
Introduction to Coverlayer And Covercoat Considerations for Flex PCB
In the majority of flex PCB designs the coverlayer or covercoat serves more than one purpose. For example, covercoats typically do as solder masks, aiding to avoid solder from shorting circuit traces together, but additionally serve to electrically isolate and physically safeguard the circuit from damages. Coverlayers help to literally limit the pads as well […]
Introduction To Surface Installing Lands For Flex PCB
Surface area install incorporated with flex PCB remains in vast use throughout the PCB market. Land pattern geometry for many usual surface mount components is well specified in IPC-7351 for inflexible PCB board applications. However, the land pattern geometry will call for a small modification of basic design regulations when put on flex PCB applications. […]
Intro to Interconnection Design Functions of Flex PCB
This short article manages interconnection design functions of flex PCB, consisting of through-hole interconnections and terminations, both layered as well as unplated, and the surface area place lands increasingly being made use of. An important part of the conversation will certainly focus on the design criteria for making factors of affiliation more trusted. OPENING SIZES […]
Waterloo PCB manufacturers raise $70,000 in 35 Mins on Kickstarter
Waterloo-based start-up Voltera, the creators of a PCB prototyping device, reached their objective of $70,000 only 35 minutes after launching a Kickstarter campaign earlier Tuesday early morning. The Voltera V-One, which has actually currently increased greater than $127,000 by noontime on Tuesday, has the ability to quickly advance the hardware advancement process. The tool allows […]
Coast Circuits Leads LCP Fabrication for flex PCB
LCP, or liquid crystal polymer, is a reasonably brand-new product arising in the flex PCB manufacturing market that is establishing a solid visibility. This special polycarbonate material is very thin (1, 2 and 4 mil cores), flexible circuits, light-weight, and also has extremely low moisture absorption along with a high chemical resistance. LCP additionally has […]
