Impact of PCB plating Finish on Elastomer Socket Technology Ila Pal – Ironwood Electronics Introduction Today’s electronic packages have high clock speeds (multi GHz range), fine pin densities (below ...

Eurocircuits, a European producer of small batch PCBs, has teamed up with Elsyca, a Belgian research company specialising in advanced electrochemical modelling, to implement PCB plating using Elsyca’s ...

Working with a printed-circuit board (PCB) requires following stringent PCB quality control methods to ensure the component performs as desired and has the expected lifespan. One of the important ...

Hot air-levelled tin-lead plating – the mainstay of PCB surface treatment as far back as most engineers can remember – was going out of style even before the RoHS Directive effectively signed its ...

In UHDI PCB design, it is important to avoid designing at minimum capability and instead work within established production comfort zones to ensure consistent yield and reliability. Maintaining a 1:1 ...

If the last year and its supply chain problems have taught us anything, it’s the value of having a Plan B, even for something as commoditized as PCB manufacturing has become. If you’re not able to get ...

The plating type is usually immaterial to the footprint geometry but is often incorporated somewhere in the vendor part ...

Today’s electronic packages have high clock speeds (multi-gigahertz range), fine pin densities (below 0.4-mm pitch), and high pin counts (over 2000). When assembled onto a printed-circuit board (PCB), ...
