In the electronics manufacturing world, we occasionally encounter printed circuit board (PCB) failures that need to be troubleshot. With our nearly two decades of experience with electronics manufacturing, we thought an article about how to fix an electrical issue would helpful. This post is going to be a more on the technical side, but hopefully […]
In this fourth and final article in a four-part series, I will look at how manufacturing electronic printed circuit board (PCB) board assemblies has evolved since the mid-1980s. Part I: Electronics Manufacturing Review Part II: Schematics – Then and Now Part III: PCB Design – Then and Now Part IV: Electronics Assembly – Then and […]
In this third article in a four-part series, I look at how generating electronic printed circuit board (PCB) layouts has evolved since the mid-1980s (and likely earlier). Part I: Electronics Manufacturing Review Part II: Schematics – Then and Now Part III: PCB Design – Then and Now Part IV: Electronics Assembly – Then and Now […]
In this second article in a four-part series, I will take a look at how generating electronic schematic diagrams and bill of materials (BOMs) have evolved since the mid-1980s (and likely earlier). Part I: Electronics Manufacturing Review Part II: Schematics – Then and Now Part III: PCB Design – Then and Now Part IV: Electronics […]
As I was admiring the function and build of one of the products that we build, I started reminiscing on how far electronics have come in my career. With that, I thought that a look back might be nostalgic to some of the other old-timers, interesting to some of the newer people and inspirational to […]
A Google search quickly shows that some see first time yield as purely a measure of whether a unit passes a test. Others view it as something being built without needing any touchup or repair at all. The reality is that both are important. The base cost of any electronics product is determined by the […]
How did you begin your career in project management? I started in 2004 in the retail construction industry. I was managing jobs for architectural products being installed into major retailers, restaurants, and hotels I also have experience managing IT projects including MRP implementations. What has been the biggest challenge since joining the electronics manufacturing industry? […]
In this follow-up to his recent interview on the Q4 2022 outlook, Shawn DuBravac, IPC chief economist, provides an update on the incoming supply chain for EMS providers. Naturally, this conversation centers on component availability, where the supply crunch is easing, and by how much. It doesn’t seem we’ll be seeing any across-the-board relief for […]
By KEVIN FREKING July 27, 2022 WASHINGTON (AP) — A bill designed to encourage more semiconductor companies to build chip plants in the United States passed the Senate on Wednesday as lawmakers raced to finish work on a key priority of the Biden administration. iZotope Nectar 3 VST Crack The $280 billion measure, which awaits a House vote, includes federal grants […]
Right now, the electronics industry is being hit hard by a part shortage. Ordering parts has become increasingly difficult, and parts you could get yesterday now take six months and longer to obtain. It is a constant race to not only keep up with what suppliers have available, but to find replacement parts quickly enough […]
