Electronics Tech Updates

In the form of engineering change orders, product upgrades and revisions, general automated process errors, and more Printed Circuit Board repair and rework will always be a part of our lives. Within the PCB assembly process, rework is one of the most unpredictable and variable components, in fact, more than rework, not other single function in the assembly process negatively affects profitability. In the preceding year, the cost of doing PCB Rework was difficult to track since labor, equipment, and WIP in the rework process was not costly and could be "swept under the table." Rework has completely taken a new meaning, with today's new and complex packages. For electronic assemblers, equipment, training and engineering support cost millions which also includes the damage or scraps that gets generated. By keeping a large number of boards in work-in-progress to be reworked the "Time to Market" factor is costly and unable to reach final markets. In t...

Often we see engineers get the erroneous idea about Reverse Engineering PCB designs, and assume that it is the same as copying the exact model. But it is not the truth, as this would be a clone. The fact is reverse engineering without being an exact copy, allows the designer to transform something that acts in an electronically identical way to the original. It is a procedure that can use for examination of innovation for learning. As a result, in the learning process, this request helpfully connects with the people concerning the operation of the items and frameworks. Looking from a strategy point of view, in the mechanical improvement and preliminary technique reverse engineering is regularly a vital part, moreover, figuring out is limited to a specific reason. There are plenty of legitimate reasons as to why reverse engineering can be used on a PCB layout.  For instance, the existing pattern might prove obsolete semiconductors that are available when the PCB was...
