Vacuum Fixture Sealing and Probe Contact in ICT A vacuum fixture holds the board against the probe plate with air pressure alone, so every probe force comes from the difference between atmospheric pressure above the board and the vacuum below it. A leak in the sealing system reduces that difference…

PCB Impedance Coupon Risks: What Could Go Wrong Electronics manufacturing has become a discipline of small details. Solder paste volumes, placement accuracy, temperature profiles and inspection limits all add up to the final result. This guide looks at PCB impedance coupon risks from the perspective of a PCBA factory floor,…

Paste Stirring and Deaeration Before Printing Paste stirring is the step that returns a solder paste to the condition it had when it was manufactured, and skipping it changes how the whole stencil prints. A paste that has stood in a jar separates slightly, and the first deposits taken from…
