An annular ring derives its name from the shape annulus which means a ring-shaped region. Similar to this, the ring on a printed circuit board (PCB) designates the region between the edge of the conductive copper pad and the drilled
Cable harness assembly is a critical aspect of many electrical and electronic systems. Assemblies and harnesses are essential for organizing and protecting wires and cables, ensuring they can effectively transmit signals or electrical power. This article delves into cable harness
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are essential components of modern electronics. They are used in various devices, including smartphones, computers, and medical equipment. However, PCBs can sometimes catch fire, leading to a burnt circuit board. A burnt circuit board can cause
Electronic Component Shortage: A Growing Concern for the Technology Industry The technology industry has been facing a major challenge in the form of electronic component shortages since the start of 2023. A range of factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, increased
Rare earth elements (REE) are key parts of modern manufacturing. Even though they’re invisible to most end consumers, they’re indispensable metals in electronics manufacturing. Like other minerals, rare earth metals have a limited supply. But despite being called rare, they’re
What is value? Value is a fair return in exchange for goods, services, or resources. It’s how well a product, machine, tool, system, or process performs its intended function. In a way, ‘value’ both surpasses and encompasses cost and function.
Every electronic circuit is built upon a printed circuit board (PCB) that houses all the electronic components. Designers typically use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools to design PCBs, and then transfer this data to companies through the relevant Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)
Good solder joint formation is a prerequisite in electronics manufacturing. The failure of one small solder joint can compromise the functioning of an entire PCB and cause intermittent faults, which can significantly reduce the lifespan of any device and lead
Original equipment manufacturers play an essential role in modern production. However, since they primarily exist in the B2B market, most consumers are unaware of their significance. This is despite them using products that comprise OEM parts daily. On the other
The EU’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulation has evolved significantly since its inception in 2003. Indeed, it’s now one of Europe’s most comprehensive human health protection, safe waste management, and environmental preservation programs. But more importantly, RoHS-3 is now
