A solder reflow oven for SMD interconnect that combines convection and infrared (IR) radiation heating.

A PCB transporting system for moving assemblies to various processes. An edge conveyor supports the boards at opposite sides; a mesh conveyor fully supports the board. On reflow ovens, a secondary mesh conveyor is often located below the edge mechanism …

COP (Chip on PI) is the newest and most advanced screen packaging technology in flexible circuits. The packaging principle is to directly bend a part of the screen to further reduce the frame to achieve a nearly borderless effect. Due …

A contract manufacturer (CM) performing packaging operations is called Copacker or a Contract Packager.

What Is a Coplanar in PCB?   PCB Coplanar waveguide is a type of electrical transmission line, which is routed in outer or inner layers of a printed circuit board (PCB) in the middle of two grounded traces with or …

The surface mount lead positioning in reference to the parallel card surface.

What’s Copper Pour in PCB?   Copper Pour (or Copper Pouring) in PCB is an area, on a bare board filled with copper, used to make connections in printed circuit boards. Copper pour is commonly used to create a ground …

The Copper Weight is the total thickness of copper on the surface of a PCB. There are several processes that effect the final copper thickness. It is measured in oz/ft². For example, 1 oz = a thickness of 12mil = …

What Is PCB Core? The Core of a PCB is rigid or flexible base material laminated with copper on one or two sides. A CORE is used for manufacturing single- and double- sided printed circuit boards (PCBs) but is also …

A multi-layer circuit board is made up of a core, prepreg and copper foil. The core is fiberglass material that has copper clad to it and will vary in thickness depending on the number of layers and the final PCB …
