Design elements
Since the copper layer on the PCB board is easily oxidized, the resulting copper oxide layer can seriously degrade the soldering quality and thus the reliability and effectiveness of the final product. In order to avoid this situation, the need for pcb surface treatment. Some information will be talking about the surface molding, board factory
A pewter bead is a small, round ball-like substance that forms when tin is extruded between the pad and the component foot during the soldering process. The generation of solder beads is mainly related to the soldering temperature, flux and the surface condition of the printed wiring board. Reflow soldering in the tin bead generation
PCB circuit board blind vias are holes in multilayer circuit boards that are used to connect different levels of internal lines, but do not run through the entire plate. Blind vias play an important role in increasing line density, reducing board size and enhancing circuit performance. Blind buried blind holes is a multilayer circuit board,
Resin Plug Hole refers to the use of resin material to fill holes and defects in circuit boards to repair functional defects in circuits. Holes and defects in a circuit board may be created by processes such as drilling, plating, pressing, etc., or they may be designed to achieve specific electrical properties. For example, Via
Virtual Welding is a common wiring fault, it refers to the solder joints at the solder joints are not completely effective welding together, resulting in poor contact, may appear on and off. Virtual soldering refers to the component pins, soldering ends, PCB pads at the tin is not sufficient, the wetting angle of the solder
Automated optical inspection (automatedopticalinspection,AOI) technology, also known as machine vision inspection (machinevisioninspection,MVI test) technology or automatedvisualinspection (automatedvisualinspection,AVI) technology. In some industries, such as flat panel display, semiconductor, solar and other manufacturing industries, the term AOI is more popular and known. However, there are still subtle differences between AOI and MVI/AVI in terms of concept and
SOP Package is a form of packaging used in the manufacture and assembly of electronic components.SOP package is a surface mount technology (Surface Mount Technology, SMT), which solder the pins of electronic components to the surface of a printed circuit board (Printed Circuit Board, PCB) instead of connecting them through a perforated hole. SOP package
PCB cutter is a mechanical equipment specialized in cutting circuit boards. It cuts circuit boards accurately and quickly by means of a high-speed rotating cutting tool to meet the needs of different electronic products on the size and shape of circuit boards. Cutting is the first step in material analysis. The choice of cutter as
