Electronex 2024
Electronex 2024 – Celebrating Australian Electronics Manufacturing This year in Sydney we are again celebrating Australian Electronics Manufacturing at Electronex 2024. We are exhibiting at stand B22 and I will be giving 2 of the free seminars covering: Selecting A Wireless Communications Technology Onshoring Your Electronics Manufacturing Back To Australia These will both be practical…
Definium Technologies
Definium Technologies This post is a shout out to Mike Cruse and the team at Definium Technologies, the latest addition to the Australian Electronics Manufacturing revolution sweeping the country. Based in Launceston, Tasmania, Definium Technologies, have recently been awarded contracts to provide a state wide LoRaWAN network for Tasmania as well as products for the…
Electronex 2017
Electronex Electronex is the Australian Electronics Manufacturing industry annual expo. This year it is at the Melbourne Park Function Centre from Wednesday 6 to Thursday 7 September 2017. You can see all the details at Electronex. SMCBA In parallel the SMCBA (Surface Mount & Circuit Board Association) is running their annual conference. This year the…
Printed Electronics Overview
Printed Electronics Way back in 2011 we looked at the state of Printed Electronics and concluded this was a rapidly emerging area of Technology and had been since the previous look at The Future of Low Cost Electronics Manufacture in 2009. It has been a while so what has happened since then? This is…
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…
Printed Circuit Board Manufacture
Printed Circuit Boards In our series on Electronics Design we have looked at the Electronics Design Process from Requirements Capture, Technology Selection, Component Selection, Schematic Capture and finally PCB Design of the Printed Circuit Board including PCB Layout. Now we have a design and the Electronics CAD files to make a Prototype. There are a number…
Electronics Design: PCB Layout
PCB Layout After the Schematic Capture component of the Electronics Design is complete, the logical connections for the electronics components have been determined. If the Electronics CAD package also supports it, you can add rules to guide the Printed Circuit Board Layout, also abbreviated to PCB Layout which we will use from here on. …
Fine Pitch PCB
Fine Pitch Printed Circuit Board This example is from a project coming to the end of the Proof of Concept phase. So we have done the Electronics Design and also completed the PCB Layout. I can’t tell you what it does, but you don’t really need to know in order to appreciate the technology. This…
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…
PCB Design For Manufacture
Design For Manufacture Electronics products almost invariably have a Printed Circuit Board , PCB, on the inside. This is one of the most common things we do, designing the Printed Circuit Board on the inside on the product. Now designing a Printed Circuit Board so it works correctly is one thing, but if you are…
