Manufacture of printed circuits in harmony with the natural environment - waste classification, storage and disposal
The manufacture of printed circuits is a very complex process that uses a wide range of materials and chemicals. Many of them require special storage and the use of specialised methods of industrial waste disposal. Some of the substances are dangerous for humans and the environment. The article disc...

Testing printed circuits: AOI optical testing
The basic task of electrical testing is to verify the conformity of the design’s mosaic network, reproduced in a real, manufactured circuit. This enables the detection of critical damage to the mosaics in the form of short and open circuits that modify the network structure. In the case of opt...

Testing printed circuits: Blade testers
In contrast to testers with moving probes which have a small number of measuring heads (usually 4), in the blade testers a significant number of fixed measuring probes are used in the form of needles of different diameters (fig.1). The diameters of the needles match the contact surface area of the t...

Testing printed circuits: Classification of the circuits testing methods and introduction to electrical testing
Printed circuits production similar to a serial production of other goods is characterized with a certain efficiency level or the level of the rejected pieces. Rejected circuit means each piece which is not fulfilling design assumptions of the customer or precisely specified industry standards. An e...

Base material of printed circuit boards: a few words about laminates
The base material used to produce the PCB affects the reliability and efficiency of the final product.
The laminate may be selected based on two criteria: quality and functionality.
Currently, printed circuits are manufactured using laminates on the following substrates: glass-rein...
