Lead Solder vs Lead-Free Solder in PCB Manufacturing

Soldering is essential for fabricating printed circuit boards (PCBs). Without solder, connections between components on the board would be unreliable or nonexistent. Depending on the type of PCBs produced, lead-based or lead-free solder is used to create reliable electrical connections.

Lead-based solder has been around for decades and is still a popular choice for many PCB applications. However, with the advancement of modern technology, lead-free solders are gradually gaining in popularity. T

What Are the Different Types of PCB Surface Finishes?

Applying a surface finish is essential in the PCB fabrication process to ensure performance and reliability. Without the right PCB surface finish, board components and copper traces risk oxidative exposure to conditions that cause corrosion, tarnishing, or damage to the board.

Therefore, with structural integrity and component longevity at stake, it is essential to match the right surface finish with the PCB project. Unfortunately, finding

How to Prevent Solder Balls on PCB

How to Prevent Solder Balls on PCB

Ensuring optimal performance of a printed circuit board (PCB) requires strong, reliable soldering techniques. Solder fuses PCB components, creating the needed electrical connection to perform essential tasks in the aerospace, entertainment, medical, and automotive industries.

But, slapping on PCB components haphazardly without learning about the different soldering techniques and tips to prevent errors can create several problems, none more prominent – or des
