Image
Without a printed circuit board, an electronic assembly cannot function properly. A printed circuit board or PCB ensures that electronic devices have proper mechanical support. Depending on the application, you need to choose the right PCB. Some of the most commonly used PCBs are rigid, rigid-flex, aluminium core and flexible. Before choosing a PCB supplier, you need to determine whether or not they can provide you with the right product. Here are 5 tips for choosing the right PCB supplier inthe UK : Requirements Before hiring a PCB supplier, you must be sure about the PCB type you need. To be able to determine that, you need to have complete clarity about the purpose you plan to use it for. Location, type of material, certification and processing abilities are some of the things you need to keep in mind. Expertise The PCB supplier you choose should have relevant industry experience. Apart from that, they should have a good knowledge of printed circuit boards. There are vario...

How to select the correct solder mask for your PCB?

Seen a solder mask on the PCB? Well, you must have seen it a couple of times without realising that it is a solder mask that you are looking at. The top green colour layer on the PCB is the solder mask which helps in preventing visual fatigue while assembling, providing considerable aid during the inspection and delivers protective cover for the conductors. To protect the metal elements on the circuit board from oxidation, a solder mask or solder stop mask is one of the crucial steps in the PCB process. The solder mask is also called solder resist since it gives you some amount of control over where the solder bits will land on the board. While selecting the correct solder mask for your PCB you need to consider your assembly process. Thus, the different categories of solder masks are: Liquid epoxy solder mask: This is the most cost-effective and easy solder mask option available in which a woven mesh is used to provide the support needed for ink-blocking patterns. The thermosetting p...
