The supply and distribution of PCBA modules were deeply affected right from the beginning of the pandemic and even several months later. On the other hand, the…
Image source Freepik Any PCBA manufacturer’s ultimate goal is to develop quality and functional PCBA. Before releasing PCBAs to the market, manufacturers are required to subject them to quality control and assurance. These are a series of steps that are geared towards ensuring that the final products not only function well but are also up…
The working principle of PCBA is based on the flow of electrons. Electric signals move from one component of the module to another. As they do so, they trigger a series of events that execute different tasks in electric devices and circuits. An interruption to the movement of electric signals will disrupt the normal functioning…
Image source Freepik PCBA modules are used in different application areas. They are the heart of all the electronic devices and appliances. Different electric devices are used for performing different roles in different applications. Most users require the devices to deliver the best performance or perform to the optimum levels. It is one thing to…
Image of PCBA production source Freepik One of the factors that influence the decision to buy an electronic gadget, device, or appliance is the cost. Most buyers tend to shun away from the most expensive products, especially when they tend to offer little returns. Usually, the price is determined by the cost of production, among…
Image source Freepik Technological advancement has resulted in the development of complex electronic products. We all know that PCBs are the building blocks of electronic devices and appliances. They control all the aspects of the electronics. However, PCBA manufacturers are required to comply with various rules and regulations that set standards in this industry. All…
Source Freepik Sustainability is quite a major topic in the manufacturing industry. The printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) has not been left behind by this topic that aims to ensure that there is minimal environmental degradation due to manufacturing activities. Most activities in the PCBA entail assembling different electronic components onto the circuit board so…
Thermal management in PCB source Freepik There is always a close relationship between heat and PCB power modules. Since these modules are for controlling power properties in electric circuits, they tend to generate some level of heat. Linear PCB power modules generate more heat than switch-mode PCB power modules. This is where the essence of…
Image source Freepik PCB power modules can also fail or break down like most electronic components. Given the sensitivity of these modules, a failure, no matter how small it may be will affect the overall operation of an electronic device. If the module is part of the power supply system, it means that the device…
Image source Freepik PCB power modules have been the drivers of modern technology for the past several decades. They are part of every electronic device since they are used for executing and managing all the power-related functions. The current state of the power module is quite vibrant, characterized by lots of innovations and technological growth.…
