PCB Array Strength. This is the tradeoff between the ease of depanelization and array support during production. Increasing the board count per array can increase strength and reduce vibration, but there is a fine line. In this column, I will describe what is necessary to ensure you maximize the number of PCBs in the array and still provide adequate support strength for…

PCBs, or Printed Circuit Boards, are integral components of satellites and numerous other electronics. They provide the mechanical structure and electrical interconnections for their host electronic components.

Successful businesses have learned that handling everything in-house is generally not profitable or advisable. For example, you might have a fantastic idea for a product. But being equipped to create a prototype and produce your product is another matter.

Today’s computers and electronic devices are seemingly helpless without a printed circuit board (PCB). If you are developing a new product and have reached the prototype stage, you will find many PCB manufacturers that are willing to take on your project.

In today’s fast-paced world, it no longer makes sense to spend years (or even months) getting a revolutionary product to market. If your business has an idea it wants to bring to life; time is of the essence. Your competitor might be working on something similar, consumer wants, and needs might change before you know it, or supply chain issues could impact your viability…

Today we will review what you can do to ensure there are no questions from the Assembler with a brief list of what things are necessary for a Bill of Materials (BOM).

The team at OBMFG understands the importance and impact of PCBs. Electronic devices used today have cores that are formed mainly by Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Everything from cars to refrigerators to smartphones has electronics with these modern components found online or in some specialized retailers. The PCB is the foundation onto which a variety of small electrical…
