PCB Fabrication – Chinese New Year The Chinese New Year is upon us; this year it is the Year of the Water Rabbit. It also means that many companies throughout the UK, that rely upon China for board fabrication will have delayed lead times (many are closed for up to 3 weeks). Here at Hi5 […]
UK-based PCB Assembly House Introduction A printed circuit board (PCB) is a thin substrate that has copper tracks running through it. These copper tracks are used for connecting components to create electrical circuits. Printed circuit boards can be designed differently, but the basic structure remains the same. They are created using computer-aided design software and […]
The PCB Process, Inspections, and the Human Touch There’s no denying that robotics, automation, and other technological advancements have a place when it comes to improving today’s efficiencies, but nothing will ever beat the human eye for quality and accuracy. We know that lots of people may believe that mass-produced items in this day and […]
Screen Printing in PCB Production The art of screen-printing has long been a mainstay in PCB production, used in many processes from applying etch and plating resists over the copper surface, through to the application of solder and peelable resists and of course, legend or ident inks. It’s probably fair to say that, as technology […]
What is PCB Fabrication? Printed Circuit Board (PCB) fabrication is the assembly method for circuit boards used in electronic and computer devices. The layers of the board are put together along with the specific surface pattern so it can be used in electronics manufacturing. Often firms that fabricate PCBs also make related products for their […]
A Brief History Of Synthesizers Tinkerers and electronics pioneers have made a huge impact on modern music -creating complex sounds out of simple electronic circuits. Unlike traditional instruments, which haven’t changed much in hundreds of years, electronic instruments like synthesizers have evolved almost continuously through recent history. In this blog post, we track synthesizers through […]
