AOI detects surface PCB defects visually, ICT tests electrical function, X-ray inspects hidden solder joints. All three are essential for comprehensive quality control.

Learn why solder pads lift, how heat/stress/quality cause failure & effective fixes. Prevent PCB damage with temperature control, gentle handling & material upgrades.

Pro 5-step PCB repair method: inspect, clean, remove, fix, test. Fix burned traces, multilayer boards & solder joints. Save devices without costly replacements.

FR4 PCB material balances cost, durability & fire safety. Crucial to know Tg for heat resistance and key design rules to avoid failures like delamination

Aluminum PCBs excel in heat management for LEDs/power systems. FR-4 suits complex circuits without extreme heat. Choose correctly to avoid failures and extend project life.

PCB potting seals electronics in resin/silicone to block moisture, dust, and shocks. Explores benefits, differences from conformal coating, and lightweight alternatives.

BGA excels in heat dissipation and space savings for compact designs like smartphones. LGA withstands shocks and enables easy replacement for industrial/desktop use. Choose based

Black PCBs don’t improve cooling; color is cosmetic. More expensive due to strict manufacturing tolerances but used for premium aesthetics in gaming, audio, and flagship

Discover top PCB design software: Altium for professionals, KiCad’s free power, budget EAGLE. Choose right tools for complexity and cost efficiency in circuit projects.

Prevent PCBA delays: learn assembly timelines (3-15 days), how to order efficiently, rigid/flex/rigid-flex PCB differences & key terminology (PCB/PWB/CCA). Expert tips included.
