Printed Circuit Board Assembly
Printed Circuit Board Assembly Also referred to as a PCA, the Printed Circuit Board Assembly follows on from Printed Circuit Board Manufacture. This is where the components are placed onto the PCB or Printed Circuit Board and the electrical connections formed. In this post I will focus on volume manufacturing techniques. We also make…

Electronics Design: Schematic Capture
Schematic Capture Schematic Capture is the process of defining the logic connections between different components in an Electronic Circuit. At the end of the process you have a diagram or Schematic of the circuit. That’s a complicated way of saying that it shows the connections between the selected components. We use Altium Designer as our…
