Engineering Context / Abstract Through-hole PCB assembly (THT assembly) remains a critical manufacturing technology for electronics that demand superior mechanical strength, high current capability, and long-term reliability. While surface-mount technology dominates high-density consumer electronics, through-hole PCB assembly continues to be indispensable in industrial controls, medical equipment, power electronics, automotive modules,…

Engineering Context Medical ventilators are life-critical devices that must operate continuously, accurately, and safely under strict regulatory and environmental constraints. At the core of these systems lies the medical ventilator PCB assembly, which integrates power management, sensor interfaces, control processors, communication modules, and alarm systems into a compact and highly…

Engineering Context Automotive radar and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) operate in increasingly demanding RF environments, typically at 24 GHz, 77 GHz, and extending toward mmWave sensor fusion platforms. Under-hood and bumper-mounted radar modules are exposed to continuous high-temperature operation, rapid thermal cycling, vibration, and humidity. In such conditions, conventional FR-4…

Engineering Context As electronic systems are increasingly deployed in harsh and unpredictable environments, conformal coating has become a critical reliability-enabling process in modern PCB manufacturing. A properly selected and applied conformal coating protects printed circuit boards from moisture, chemical exposure, salt fog, vibration, and electrical stress while maintaining signal integrity…

Engineering Context Ceramic printed circuit boards (Ceramic PCBs) represent a critical platform for next-generation electronics operating under extreme thermal, electrical, and environmental stress. Unlike conventional FR4 or metal-core PCB solutions, ceramic PCB technology leverages inorganic ceramic substrates to achieve exceptional thermal conductivity, dielectric strength, and phase stability across wide temperature…

Engineering Context Metal-core printed circuit boards (MCPCBs) have become a critical platform for modern electronics where thermal management, mechanical stability, and signal integrity must be balanced. Among them, aluminum-based PCBs and copper-based PCBs are the two most widely deployed solutions. Although they share a similar stack concept—a conductive circuit layer,…
