Does PCB Solder Mask Misalignment Lead to BGA Soldering Defects?
Recently, our company started a new project, and the R&D team has been pushing PCB layout requirements to the extreme. As PCBs size get smaller, the solder mask (S/M) design must also shrink accordingly. However, our current PCB manufacturers struggle … Continue reading

Electronic Product Burn-In and Run-In: What They Are and Their Pros & Cons
In the early days, when electronic component design and manufacturing were still in their infancy, burn-in (B/I) was widely used to screen out defective products. This process helped eliminate early failures before products reached customers, reducing the risk of complaints. … Continue reading
