Electronic devices shaped modern civilization’s way of life, and at the core of every electronics is the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). In 2021, it’s safe to say that they are everywhere. That was true ten years ago, and even more so today, as...
DetailsAccording to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 581,000 veterans were unemployed in 2020, and over half of that number were ages 25 to 54. That’s a staggering number of unutilized technical skills and experience that these veterans have accumulated...
DetailsElectronics manufacturing training courses equip assembly line staff with the proper skills to operate complex industrial machines optimally and safely. For that reason, these technical courses are essential for anyone who wishes to earn and...
DetailsIn recent years, there has been an explosive amount of research and development in the field of lead-free soldering. This is because many countries are slowly phasing out the use of lead solder in electronics manufacturing. Lead-free soldering...
DetailsSurface Mount Technology (SMT), is a commercially used assembly process because of its many benefits, but it is one of those processes that, in time, will experience manufacturing errors.
DetailsFor many years, lead solder was the only type of solder available for connecting electronic components. But in 2006, all of that changed when the European Union (EU) issued a Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, banning lead solder...
DetailsPrinted Circuit Board (PCB) assembly is a complex process involving the interaction of many small components. Each has their roles in supporting the whole electronic device. If even one part fails, the entire circuit board may fail as a whole. That...
DetailsAs the heart of all modern-day electronics, Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) support and connect electronic components to make an electronic device function. And there are two main methods for mounting components onto a PCB.
Details2020 left a disruption in manufacturing as companies paused operations and adapted to operate with fewer people. This US Chamber of Commerce Foundation study finds that more than half of US states (28) have more open jobs than available workers to...
DetailsElectrostatic Discharge (ESD), is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects. This is the same static shock we get when walking across a carpet and then touching a doorknob afterward. This unwanted flow of electricity...
