Additive Reality: Drop-forging Solder Mask Thickness With Inkjet

Posted Jun 1st, 2022

Traditional coating processes for solder mask1 handle thickness as a single parameter for the whole board. There will be differences between the amount of material on the laminate or on the copper, and these will depend on the height of the copper and in some cases on the section of the copper feature. Overall, it is reproducible: It looks homogeneously green and it is easy to estimate the amount of material consumption. Therefore, everybody is happy.

Aismalibar in Iconnect007: Improved Thermal Interface Materials For Cooling High-Power Electronics

Posted Apr 8th, 2022

Heat has been a significant concern in electronics since the beginning of the electronics age when hot glowing vacuum tubes were first used to receive and transmit data bits. The transistor and integrated circuit effectively solved that basic problem, but increases in integration resulted in increased concentration of heat, exacerbated by relentless increases in operating frequency. While improvements in electronics technology have been able to mitigate many thermal issues at chip level than...

TCT Pilot Drills For Improved Accuracy

Posted Mar 23rd, 2022

The transition from through-hole to surface-mount technology allowed hole sizes to be reduced significantly, making products not only smaller and less expensive but also higher performing. While much attention has been given to laser drilling in recent years, mechanically drilled through-holes remain the gold standard technology for the manufacture of high-layer count PCBs. As hole density and aspect-ratios increase, micro drilling technology has risen significantly in importance.
