What is a blank PCB
Simplified, a blank PCB is an empty circuit board devoid of any contacts as well and free from pieces that are used and installed in the creation of an actual circuit board or PCB. A blank PCB board has multiple compositions however the most often used are copper...
What Is PCB Assembly?
Electronic PCB assembly is a term used in electronic product and device manufacturing. This involves the assembly of various electronic components and computer parts, onto a printed circuit board (PCB). The printed circuit board manufacturing, production and assembly...
What is PCB Fabrication
PCB fabrication is the process of transforming an electronics circuit board design into a physical structure. The creation of the physical structure is achieved through the following: Copper clad laminates are used for imaging the desired layout Traces and pads are...

Conductive Anodic Filamentation (CAF)
Conductive Anodic Filamentation (CAF) is a failure mechanism which is found in Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). It is the creation of a micro conductive or semi-conductive path between two conductive poles. As shown in the photos belowThese are thankfully...
FR4 Laminate Variants
Base laminate used in the construction of Printed Circuits Boards can come in many different forms from simple Paper & Resin to exotic hybrid materials. The price of the material also varies from inexpensive to prohibitive. The cost is mainly...
How PCBs Are Made
A brief outline of the stages in making a plated Though Hole (PTH) PCBs How PSB's are made, by Xenoa LTD: PCB’s have been made for over 80 years and their complexity has increased with the constant march of the Electronics Industry. Materials have also changed due to...
Printed circuits made with the silk screen technique
Note: The development time of the silk and drying of the cards exposed here, changes depending on the quality of the ink, the type of bulb used and the distance of the light, when exposing the cards. We recommend doing tests until you find the times, that you delay,...
