Success by Design
We have skilled design engineers on staff here at Caltronics who together represent a cumulative 45 years with the company, and with that tenure comes a breadth of experience. Detailed below are some projects they appreciated working on, and an explanation of what Caltronics Design & Assembly has accomplished in the past.
We Answer the 10 Common PCB Design and Assembly Questions Asked by Clients
We Answer the 10 Common PCB Design and Assembly Questions Asked by Clients We have compiled a list of 10 common questions we receive from clients before starting their design projects.
PCB profitability with Design for Test (DFT)
Design for test/testing/testability. Design for manufacture. Design for assembly. Design for…well, you get the picture. There are a lot of “design for’s” to keep in mind. But they all boil down to one concept: design for profitability.
That’s especially important when considering PCB design for test (DFT). PCBs can be complex, and they’re expected to work without errors. Inspection and testing are essential to PCB manufacturing but can be time-consuming and costly.
How can you accommodate inspection and testing requirements and keep a product profitable?
Five win-win reasons for leaning out your PCBA and electronics assembly
It’s a good bet your electronic product requires more than a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). Components such as wires, actuators, controls, displays, potting and even an enclosure likely need electronics assembly. Plus you may need product labeling, instruction manuals, shelf packaging and so on.
Solder jet printing: What you need to know for SMT Printed Circuit Board outsourcing
Solder jet printing: What you need to know for SMT Printed Circuit Board outsourcing “More good boards, faster.” That’s the basic reason for using solder jet printing. Since solder quality is a major factor in SMT board defects, high-quality solder jet printing can play a major role in striking the balance between throughput.
