FAQs

Get clear PCB schematic diagrams—essential for accurate board layout & design.

A PCB schematic diagram is a visual representation of an electronic circuit, showing how components like resistors, capacitors, and ICs are connected to form the circuit. It serves as a blueprint for designing the PCB layout and guides engineers during the manufacturing process.

Professional PCB stackup services for high-speed, RF, and multilayer board designs.

A PCB stackup is the arrangement of copper layers and insulating materials in a printed circuit board. It defines how signals, power, and ground layers are structured, affecting the board's performance, EMI, and manufacturability—especially in multilayer PCBs.

Select the right PCB finish: HASL for cost, ENIG for high precision and BGA.

HASL (Hot Air Solder Leveling): A cost-effective PCB surface finish using molten solder. It's good for larger components but not ideal for fine-pitch or high-density boards. ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold): A flat, smooth, and highly reliable finish, ideal for fine-pitch, BGA, and high-end PCBs. Offers better corrosion resistance and shelf life.

Get reliable PCB testing—AOI, ICT, FCT, X-Ray, and more. Quality guaranteed.

1.Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) – Checks for surface defects using cameras. 2.In-Circuit Testing (ICT) – Tests electrical performance of components on the board. 3.Flying Probe Test – Uses moving probes to test points on low- to mid-volume boards. 4.Functional Testing (FCT) – Simulates real-world operation to verify full functionality. 5.X-Ray Inspection (AXI) – Inspects hidden solder joints (like BGA) and inner layers. 6.Burn-In Testing – Stresses the PCB to identify early-life failures. 7.Visual Inspection – Manual check for surface defects, often a final quality step.
