Frequently Asked
Questions

If a PCB fails functional testing: The failure is analyzed to determine the cause (component, assembly process, design issue). The PCB may undergo rework or repair to correct the identified issue. After repairs, the PCB is retested to ensure it now passes functional testing, verifying its readiness for final assembly.

PCB fabrication involves transferring the circuit design onto a substrate, etching away excess material, drilling holes for components, and applying a protective solder mask. This process prepares the PCB for component assembly.

The process of BGA production includes creating the BGA package with solder balls arranged in a grid pattern, placing the BGA on the PCB with precise alignment, and then soldering it using reflow soldering technique to create a solid mechanical and electrical bond.

In electronics, "turnkey" describes a service or project solution where the provider manages all stages of the electronics manufacturing process, including design, procurement, manufacturing, and assembly, delivering a final product that is ready for immediate use.

Technologies in rapid prototyping include 3D printing, selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), and stereolithography (SLA).

The fixture design procedure involves analyzing workpiece requirements, selecting materials, conceptualizing the design, CAD modeling, and finally, manufacturing and testing the fixture for efficacy.

Component engineering in electronics focuses on the strategic selection, evaluation, and management of electronic parts and materials used in electronic product manufacturing. This discipline ensures the components' performance, quality, availability, and compliance with technical and environmental standards.

Assembly line design refers to the strategic layout and organization of tools, equipment, and workstations in a production line to optimize the assembly process. It focuses on efficiency, minimizing production time, and reducing costs while ensuring product quality.

DFA (Design for Assembly) focuses on designing products for ease and efficiency of assembly, while DFM (Design for Manufacturing) aims at designing products for cost-effective and straightforward manufacturing. Both are critical for reducing production costs and improving product quality.

The advantage of Design for Assembly includes reduced assembly time and costs, improved product reliability, and enhanced manufacturing efficiency by minimizing complex assembly operations and parts count.
