Production Floor Zoning for ESD, Cleanliness and Humidity A production floor is divided so that the conditions a product needs can be maintained in the places where they matter and not everywhere. The division is a design decision about the space, not a policy statement. Why Zone at All Maintaining…

PCB Solder Paste Improvement: From Design to Repeatable Production Buyers and engineers often focus on the finished product and forget the production line behind it. In practice, most field failures can be traced back to process decisions made during assembly. Understanding PCB solder paste improvement gives you a practical advantage…

PCB Solder Paste Timing: From Design to Repeatable Production 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 solder paste timing from the perspective of a PCBA factory…

Wire Harness To Board Connector Interface Design Where a wire harness meets a board, the electrical connection is only half of the problem. The harness is a mechanical object with mass, stiffness, and a routing path, and every movement of the product, every thermal cycle, and every pull on the…

Projector Mainboard Design for Compact Projection Products A compact projector fits a display engine, a battery and a processor into a space the size of a book. Projector mainboard design is dominated by the light source, because the led driver and its power loop set the size, the heat and…

Drop Testing and Shock Resistance for Electronic Assemblies Dropping a product is one of the most severe mechanical events it can experience, and it happens in a fraction of a second. The acceleration involved can exceed a thousand times gravity, and the whole event is over before any protection circuit…

V2X Module Board Design for Vehicle Communication A module that lets a vehicle talk to other vehicles and to the road infrastructure is a radio product in a harsh environment. V2X module board design combines radio frequency layout with the electrical and thermal requirements of automotive electronics. What V2X Communication…
