Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) hаѕ сеrtаіnlу evolved quite a bіt durіng the lаѕt fеw dесаdеѕ. Thе fіrѕt knоwn PCBs were dеrіvеd frоm рrіntеd wіrе tесhnоlоgу dеvеlореd in thе 1900s. However, іt wasn’t untіl after Wоrld Wаr II that thе рrіntеd сіrсuіt board as wе knоw it was really сrеаtеd. Thаnkѕ tо a раtеnt fоr printed wіrіng ѕubmіttеd іn 1925, wе knew thе tесhnоlоgу involving an insulated ѕurfасе аnd аn electrical раth held рrоmіѕе. This was раrtісulаrlу true fоr tube radios аnd grаmорhоnеѕ. In 1943, Dr. Pаul Eіѕlеr сrеаtеd the fіrѕt рrіntеd wіrіng bоаrd thаt асtuаllу wоrkеd. This paved the wау fоr futurе іtеrаtіоnѕ of рrіntеd сіrсuіt bоаrd assembly. The PCBA evolution has had many turning points, and the audio industry is a new niche. A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a board that electrically connects electronic components using conductive traces, pads, and other features etched from copper foil laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. PCB’s can be single sided (one copper layer), double sided (two copper layers), or multi-layer (outer and inner layers). Conductors on different layers are connected with vias (plated-thru. holes). Multi-layer PCB’s allow for much higher component density and design complexity. A PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) […]

When creating new electronic or complex mechanical products, manufacturers have several options. To build the entire product themselves, outsource components from several subcontractors, and lastly, employ the system box build assembly approach. The latter means to employ a subcontractor to build and assemble the entire product. What is System Box Build Assembly? System Box Build Assembly, otherwise known as systems integration is when a company decides to hire another company to create a whole product, or a component made up of several smaller components. This frees the company from other obligations such as labor, purchasing, inventory and logistics for some, or all of their SKUs. This could apply to all box builds such as audio systems box builds, medical systems box builds, aerospace box builds, industrial controls box build, A.I. system Box Builds, sensor systems Box builds, blue tooth systems box builds and wireless systems box builds. Companies who choose to build everything themselves may end up having to come up with premium prices to cover all the costs mentioned. The second option, outsourcing separate components to multiple companies have the potential to end up with ill-fitting components that may not work 100% with each other. Not to mention the […]

The Internet of Things is a concept that will only continue to grow as the years progress. It will soon be as ubiquitous as the internet itself. IoT technology trends will appear every year no matter how preposterous they may seem today. Eventually they will taper out and will become essential parts of our lives. For now, here are the latest IoT technology trends. Rise of Smart Home Demand Home automation seems very much a non-essential for the average consumer. That is, until it’s been tried out as much as Dijon mustard as an acquired taste. The smart home demand is growing, and the ability of homeowners to turn on or off their homes’ power automatically when going to and from work is a no brainer. No more worrying if the toaster or flat iron is left on. Toasters, ovens and coffee makers themselves won’t be left to overheat can be turned off remotely. Garage doors open upon arrival and homeowners are greeted to soothing music and a cooled or heated living area. These minor comforts gradually become the new norm as prices for devices that allow them continue to drop. IoT Technology Trends Healthcare Healthcare is one of the […]

Life goes on despite the current coronavirus outbreak. Consumer Electronics Trends still affect our daily lives, albeit in a reduced capacity. At least for now. Below are several consumer electronics trends that have manifested before, during and hopefully after the current world crisis. Gaming When it comes to consumer electronics trends, gaming is one of the biggest areas. Especially this year with the release of the new Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. PC Gaming also continues to be a powerhouse. With the release of new games, such as Doom Eternal, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and the new Half Life. Also included are new gaming cards such as the Radeon 580 and GeForce 1060. There’s more not even mentioning mobile gaming. Streaming Entertainment Streaming is highly competitive in 2020. This is thanks to many streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon, HBO, CBS and Disney Plus. This can’t be more true given the current medical crisis striking the world. Viruses notwithstanding, the big three each have titles in demand like The Mandalorian, Star Trek Picard, and The Witcher. Given the fallout of the current crisis, there’s an impending rumor that feature films will find themselves available on these streaming services, […]
