Materials

For any type of PCB or Printed Circuit Board, its substrate or the material the board is made of, forms its backbone for holding the traces and the components. NEMA or National Electrical [...]

Flexible substrates are characterized by being flexible and can be bent freely, but if everything is soft, it will be difficult to handle. A certain degree of thickness and hardness is required, [...]

Before the digital era began, analog circuits were the norm, and they had specific design rules. With the advent of digital circuits, many of the older design rules were no longer applicable. [...]

The PCB industry has been using high-frequency board materials for several reasons and for decades. These materials have several unique attributes when compared to those of the more traditional [...]

Rush PCB Inc always begin their design of printed circuit boards (PCBs) with appropriate material selection. The goal is always to use the right material for making the PCBs, while meeting the [...]

Rush PCB handles a large variety of components suitable for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) while designing and/or assembling PCBs for our customers. This is because almost all the electronics we [...]

Selecting lead-free PCB manufacturing materials or rather, those that comply with the RoHS Directive, also requires considering the capability of the material to withstand high temperatures, and [...]

Although manufacturers must deal with several variables when fabricating a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) including the solder mask, silk screen, copper width and weight, laminates form the [...]

Although the electronic industry uses a Bill of Materials (BOM) to indicate a list of ingredients a product uses, the concept of a comprehensive BOM is still elusive to most people. To create a [...]

Rush PCB recommends using solder resist (the green coating) on the printed circuit boards (PCBs) as a primary protection against oxidation and corrosion. The presence of the solder resist [...]
