For hobbyists, small businesses, and engineers in Europe and the United States, prototyping printed circuit boards (PCBs) is ...

It could even be paired with an Open Reflow hot plate for a fully open-source PCB assembly workflow. Continue reading “Streamline Your SMD Assembly Process With 3D-Printed Jigs” → ...

The PCB assembly (PCBA) process is becoming more complex with evolving market trends such as IoT, augmented- and virtual-reality devices, and cloud applications.

A few days passed, and then he had a quote for assembly, £61.41 ($80). He placed the order, the board house processed it and made the boards, and in due course his working PCB modules arrived.

Although PCB assemblers are constantly trying to find ways to reduce circuit-board assembly cost to attract more business and ultimately gain more profit, price varies from one assembler to another.

Click on image to enlarge. Underfill to the rescue! Underfill is a polymer or liquid applied on the PCB after it has been subjected to reflow. Basically, underfill encapsulates the bottom side of the ...

Quick turn PCB assembly is a production method that creates and delivers PCBs with components in a short amount of time. This is mostly due to urgent and tight deadlines or production requirements.

Utilising eight automatic SMD lines, Eurocircuits exclusively assembles PCBs from its own PCB production from a batch size of 1 but always in series quality. Currently, 16% of all PCB orders are ...
