The electronics and electronic components world has rapidly changed in the past few decades. A rather unique yet crucial innovation of recent times is the LTCC (Low-temperature co-fired ceramic) Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This advanced packaging technology has attracted attention in electronics due to its rare characteristics and amazing potential….

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are integral to most electronic devices used daily. Their utility is varied and pertinent, from smartphones to space technology, automobiles, and medical devices. Multiple PCB manufacturing hubs exist worldwide, with the USA ranking among the top. Various PCB manufacturing companies have mushroomed in the United States and are…

In the dynamic and ever-changing world of electronics and engineering, innovations and novelties continually drive the evolution of circuitry design. Among the many advancements, PCB busbars stand out. They have quickly emerged robust and efficient for managing power distribution in various electronic devices and systems. Sounds fascinating, right? Join us as we…

A printed circuit board motor is a type of electric motor that comprises a rotor disc made up of non-magnetic and non-conducting material. The complete armature winding and the commutator of the PCB motor are printed on both sides of the disk; hence, the PCB motor is also known as the disk…

The size of printed circuit boards is becoming smaller and smaller in one or both directions. However, a problem with this cinching is that the raw PCB supplier and the contract manufacturer manage the parts on specific equipment. Mechanisms like routing, electrical testing, and packaging further add cost to the…

A probe card, alternately known as a DUT board, is an interface or a board that performs wafer-level inspection in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Thus, it is an interface between an electronic test system and a semiconductor wafer. A probe card is leveraged by attracting it to wafer inspection equipment….

A circuit board is made of an insulating material with conductive pathways etched onto the surface. Thus, it is a medium that connects or wires different components to one another in a circuit. Circuit boards are an elemental part of the world of electronics. Circuit boards are, in fact, necessary…

Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors, are high-capacity capacitors with unique advantages, such as high-speed charging, reliable operations, collaborative integration with batteries or fuel cells, etc. True to its name, a supercapacitor has a vast capacitance value, much higher than that of solid-state capacitors, but lower voltage limitations. Thus, a supercapacitor bridges the…

Electronic contract manufacturing Electronic contract manufacturing (ECM) involves outsourcing electronic product assembly, testing, support services, and distribution to third-party electronic contract manufacturing companies. When a company hires a third-party manufacturer to produce electronic components or devices, it is known as ECM. The company that outsources its manufacturing needs is the original…

The type of material fabricating a printed circuit board determines its quality and performance. Some special situations demand PCBs to withstand large mechanical loads or extreme temperatures. Thus, some PCB boards must be made of materials that check all the right boxes. IMS (insulated Metal Substrate) PCBs are rescued in…
