Frequently Asked
Questions

Manual Soldering: For prototypes or repairs. Reflow Soldering: For surface-mount components. Wave Soldering: For through-hole and bulk components.

Clean the surfaces to be soldered. Apply flux to remove oxides and improve wetting. Heat the joint with a soldering iron. Apply solder directly to the joint, not the iron tip. Remove the iron and allow the joint to cool naturally.

Solder creates a secure and conductive connection between electronic components and the PCB, ensuring the circuit functions as intended by facilitating electrical continuity.

Manual Soldering: Using a soldering iron for individual components. Reflow Soldering: Applying solder paste and heating the entire board to melt the paste, used for SMT components. Wave Soldering: Passing the PCB over a wave of molten solder, primarily for through-hole components.

PCB soldering is the process of joining electronic components to a printed circuit board (PCB) using solder, a fusible metal alloy, to establish a strong electrical connection between the component leads and the board's conductive pathways.

Stencil material can be metal (such as stainless steel) for durability and precision in applications like PCB assembly, or plastic and other polymers for various arts and crafts or industrial applications.

Many PCB manufacturers specialize in low volume production, catering to custom projects, prototypes, and small-scale production needs. These providers offer flexibility and quick turnaround times.

High frequency PCBs are designed to operate at frequencies typically above 1 GHz. They require specific materials and design considerations to minimize signal loss and maintain performance in applications like telecommunications and advanced computing.

BGA reballing is the process of removing old solder balls from a BGA component and replacing them with new ones. This repair technique is used to fix defective BGA solder joints or to reattach a BGA component to a PCB.

Passive Components: Resistors, capacitors. Active Components: Transistors, diodes. Integrated Circuits: Microprocessors, memory chips.
