Flexible Printed Circuit Boards and Rigid Circuit Boards
August 23, 2018
When you hear the term “PCB,” what do you think of? Most people probably imagine a rigid PCB (printed circuit board) with traditional copper pads and wiring harnesses. More and more, however, PCB can also refer to a flexible PCB, also known as a flexible printed circuit board. With the growth in small electronics, the […]
Principles and Considerations for Design For Electronic Manufacturing
August 16, 2018
When you’re manufacturing a product, there are usually three considerations you need to meet by the time it’s finished. The product needs to meet your desired level of quality, it needs to meet your performance standards, and it needs to be able to be priced competitively. An experienced electronic manufacturer can help you achieve these […]
What is the difference between SMT and SMD For An Electronic Manufacturer?
August 14, 2018
SMT and SMD. These two little acronyms get mixed up a lot in the electronics manufacturing service world. For electronic manufacturers on paper, they only vary by a single letter, but in practice, there’s a lot more separating SMTs and SMDs. Chiefly, one is a process and the other is a device.
An Electronic Manufacturing Service Provides Solder Paste Printing
July 25, 2018
For an electronic device that requires any kind of reliability, the solder paste printing process is arguably the most important step in its assembly. Taking a close look at how an electronic manufacturing service does its solder paste printing is, a reliable way to separate a good electronic manufacturing service from one of lower quality.

Four Characteristics of A Quality Electronics Manufacturer
June 29, 2018
The term Electronic Manufacturing Service took off in the early 1970s. Up until that point, most large-scale production was handled by in-house assembly. As manufacturing evolved, smaller electronic manufacturers sprang up to deliver low-cost assemblies by taking advantage of economies of scale. Manufacturing, material procurement and the pooling of design and customer support services made […]
