This PCB assembly soldering video from Z-AXIS of Phelps, NY examines the importance of thermal profiling in soldering operations. Measuring the unique thermal profile for each printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) design during pre-production lets us create an optimal...
It’s the people we work with that make our days worthwhile. Happy Holidays from Z-AXIS! See more videos on YouTube.
In a previous video we discussed why through-hole components are needed in many printed circuit board assemblies. Today we’ll look at how they are inserted into the boards, using two different techniques. Watch this Through Hole Component Insertion video to learn...
Video Transcript Surface mount LED components are available in a fast-growing range of wavelengths, with smaller size, higher efficiency and lower cost – so we’re seeing more and more of them in the electronic products we manufacture. Let’s look at what that means for...
As part of the continuous upgrades in our electronics contract manufacturing facility near Rochester, NY, we recently replaced the overhead lighting in the manufacturing area. We replaced 40 of these 400-watt fixtures with smaller, brighter, more energy-efficient LED...
The bare PCB (printed circuit board) is often the most expensive item on a PCB Assembly bill of materials. It can present a surprising number of choices for the design engineer. The basic composition is a substrate, a conducting layer, and a solder mask. The most...
