Before Cleaning All connectors on the circuit board including jumper plug, card board, battery and IC must be carefully pulled out before cleaning. Potentiometer, transformer and solenoid coil (inductive coil) must also be removed from the circuit board. Note: non electronic professional do not do this operation, because if there is no electronic professional technology, …
Fault Characteristics and Maintenance of PCB Capacitor Damage The fault caused by capacitor damage is the highest in electronic equipment, especially the damage of electrolytic capacitor is the most common. The damage of capacitance is shown as follows: the capacity becomes smaller, total loss of capacity, electric leakage and short circuit. Capacitors play different roles …
We will discuss the contents of “grounding” in PCB layout of boost DC / DC converter. It is often heard that “grounding is very important” and “grounding design needs to be strengthened”. In fact, in the PCB layout of boost DC / DC converter, the grounding design which does not fully consider the grounding and …
Because most of the modern printed circuit boards have no official schematic and more and more chip applications with programs, engineers will face challenges in various aspects. Through a lot of practice, there are still ways to avoid these challenges. I will share 6 maintenance methods of PCB. Tip 1: Appearance Inspection Looking, asking, smelling …
As an engineer, we often come across problems when we layout and route circuit board. According the experience, we summary some skills about the PCB layout and routing. Before PCB layout and routing, the layout of the components in the entire board needs to be set.The shape and size of the board must be determined …
In PCB production process, drilling is very important. The so-called drilling is to drill the required through holes on the copper clad laminate to provide electrical connection and fix devices. If there is a problem in the via process, the device can’t be fixed on the circuit board, which will affect the use or the …
In PCB design, layout is an important part. The quality of the PCB layout result will directly affect the effect of the wiring, so it can be considered that a reasonable layout is the first step to a successful PCB design. There are two layout methods, one is interactive layout, and the other is automatic …
The Schematic Design Schematic design is preparatory work. For a simple board, if you are with skilled process, you can skip it. But for beginners, you must follow the process. On one hand, you can develop good habits, on the other hand we can avoid mistake by this way for complex circuits. When drawing the …

What is PCBA? PCBA is assembly of PCB. Various electronic devices are assembled on the circuit board by surface packaging process. Next is box assembly, which will assemble the assembled PCB with the shell to form the finished product. PCB blank board passes SMT upper part, then passes through the whole process of dip plug-in, …
John is a PCB engineer. He said, “It’s not easy to make PCBs according to the process. Just drill a hole to make components. It’s not difficult to make PCBs. What’s difficult is to check the faults after the PCBs are made. “ Whether it’s a personal enthusiast or an industry engineer, it’s a headache …
