In Part I of this series „What is important for the BGA fanout of SBU setups“, the basics for a robust fanout design with blind and buried vias were explained - including the typical layer division for
Why blind outsourcing becomes a strategic risk Printed circuit boards are often seen as a commodity - interchangeable, comparable, price-driven - but this view is dangerous. After all, modern electronics are safety-critical, and PCBs are their physical
A strong start to 2025 KSG has reached another milestone: the state-of-the-art technology of the new ENIG plant in Gars am Kamp is not just a benefit for our production processes,
Ball Grid Array (BGA) is a popular packaging technology for integrated circuits that enables a high pin count and a compact design. Compared to traditional pin-connection methods, BGA offers better thermal performance.
In the complex production of printed circuit boards, there are two typical manufacturing processes for the core processes of through-hole plating and structuring. A distinction is made between "pattern plating" and "panel plating". Depending on the requirements,
On the way to a cost-efficient PCB, it is not only the utilization and selection of materials - as described in Part 1 - that play a role. The mechanical machining processes
Today we dive into the world of PCB marking and discover its importance in the context of Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory. At a time when technology and production are seamlessly
Organic surface protection (OSP, Organic Solderability Preservative or Organic Surface Protection) is a cost-effective alternative to metallic end surfaces on printed circuit boards. An organic layer is applied to the exposed copper areas.
The demand for ever more powerful and compact electronic devices continues to grow. However, in times of rising raw material and energy prices, developers, engineers and companies are faced with the challenge of developing
How to reduce costs in the manufacture of rigid-flex printed circuit boards Whether energy, raw materials or personnel - there is hardly an area that is not currently affected by exorbitant cost increases. This
Errors in PCB development cost time and money, but they can be avoided. As part of the "Practical tips" series of articles, we take a close look at typical PCB design errors and provide valuable insider knowledge for the
The most important questions and answers They are used in smartphones, aircraft and medical devices and enable high technical performance in the smallest of spaces: HDI printed circuit boards are an integral part of the electronics industry.
