Causes of PCB Warping and Measures for Improvement

Causes of PCB Warping and Measures for Improvement

The warping or bending of PCB boards is usually caused by one or several of the following reasons: 1. Temperature changes: Variations in temperature can cause thermal expansion or contraction of the PCB board. If the two sides of the board are not subjected to the same thermal influence, it can lead to warping or … Read more

PCB Soldering: The ‘Lifeline Connection’ of Electronic Devices

PCB Soldering: The 'Lifeline Connection' of Electronic Devices

The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is the core carrier of electronic devices, and soldering is the key process that fixes components such as resistors, capacitors, and chips, ensuring circuit connectivity, which directly determines the performance and reliability of the device.

Handcrafted Circuit Boards

Handcrafted Circuit Boards

The most challenging aspect of handcrafted circuit boards lies in the wiring of the circuits. Most existing technologies can only utilize planar wiring principles, making it difficult to adopt three-dimensional wiring, indicating that this is also a direction for development. Below is a sound-controlled clap switch circuit, which can be constructed with just thirty components. … Read more

Hand-Wiring PCB Layout

Hand-Wiring PCB Layout

As we all know, a fully functional electrical device requires a good circuit board, quality components, and a plastic or metal casing, along with switches, etc. Today, we will hand-wire a PCB layout ourselves. This circuit is quite simple, requiring only basic series and parallel connections, along with a four-transistor microphone amplifier, which does not … Read more

PCB Assembly | Addressing the Most Challenging BGA Issues in the Electronics Field

PCB Assembly | Addressing the Most Challenging BGA Issues in the Electronics Field

Nash Bell President of BEST, Inc. Since the late 1990s, Ball Grid Array (BGA) packaging has become the preferred packaging method for electronic devices. Compared to high-density ultra-fine pitch Quad Flat Packs (QFP), BGA packaging can significantly reduce the footprint required on the PCB by approximately 50%. Integrating standard BGA and its stacked counterparts, known … Read more

iPhone 6 WiFi Module Repair Case Study

iPhone 6 WiFi Module Repair Case Study

Analysis: If there is no WiFi, first measure the voltage at C5202_RF; it should be 3.8V. If not, connect a wire from another point to C5202_RF, then measure C5204_RF for 1.8V. If that is also absent, short R5208_RF, check and replace L5201_RF, and replace the WiFi module at C5202_RF! If the WiFi signal is weak, … Read more
