Today’s PCB microelectronics assembly and manufacturing is still in its early stages and depending on who you talk to, it takes on different methods and procedures at different EMS providers. So, you can safely say that not all microelectronics assembly and manufacturing houses are alike. A good measure to determine if you have the right […]

OEM customers in many cases want to reduce PCB real estate even more than an earlier product generation. The technologies that advanced PCB microelectronics assembly offers these days to do just that provide medical electronics OEMs and other OEMs an array of different options to optimize their product designs, whether they be portable, wearable, insertable […]

The outlook appears promising in 2021 for electronics OEMs to bring some or most of their manufacturing back to the U.S. In particular, medical electronics OEMs may be able to move forward with their prototypes into pilot, medium, and high runs right here on American soil. And it may be sooner than later due in […]
Continue Reading...Real estate continues to be a precious commodity for substrates, package sizes, dies, and PCBs. One thing stays constant, any way you look at it, and that constant is we continue to shrink the real estate as much as possible. Not long ago, package on package (PoP) was a top technology on the SMT manufacturing […]

As PCB hybrid manufacturing makes greater inroads with microelectronics manufacturing, new inspection tools are coming to the fore. In our industry, microelectronics manufacturing is increasingly becoming the companion of traditional surface-mount technology (SMT) manufacturing due to the growing need for smaller form factors for printed circuit boards (PCBs), chips on board (CoB), flip chips, and […]

Today, a growing number of OEMs have a sound understanding of how significant PCB hybrid manufacturing is for their new generation of products. That’s because their customers in the medical electronics, mil/aero, commercial, and industrial sectors are demanding greater electronics functionality in smaller, portable devices. This means those devices are based on smaller printed circuit […]
