Select board-to-board or wire-to-board connectors based on link type/space constraints. Solve density via pin pitch/current ratings, vibration with cage clamps, and optimize Molex use. Prevent
Chemical etching removes excess copper from PCBs using chemicals, creating precise circuits. Key factors: material compatibility (copper/FR-4), precision control, pros (cost/detail) and cons (waste/safety).
Comprehensive PCB design checklist: Data input validation, component/layout inspection, signal/power/thermal optimization, routing rules, and final verification for reliability.
Avoid disasters by choosing the right EMS partner. Key factors include quality systems, outsourcing strategy, and NPI management for reliable electronics manufacturing.
Learn the 3 essential SMT machines: stencil printer, pick-and-place for speed/accuracy, and reflow oven. Selection tips, common issues, and fixes for efficient PCB assembly.
