with a tool head that performs the coating of the via with a high-resistance conductive ink before the electroplating step, all without submerging the entire PCB. After an initial experiment ...

This will protect it from corrosion cause by the off-gassing during the plating process. The traces of the etched PCB act as the anodes, but the holes themselves must be conductive in order for ...

In 2019, void-related defects led to the rejection of more than 10,000 PCBs—an issue that caused significant financial losses ...

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven analytics is reshaping the way printed circuit boards (PCBs) are manufactured. Harshitkumar J. Ghelani, a distinguished engineer with ...

In February 2017, I wrote a column titled “ An Afternoon with Naka ” in which Hayao Nakahara (or Naka to his friends) – a true PCB veteran embarking on his 60 th year in the industry – described the ...
