PCB Assembly: 3rd-Party Quality Assurance Benefits

By Gary Rothstein

ANZER is an ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100:2016 (aerospace) certified electronics design and manufacturing service provider for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). We train and certify our manufacturing personnel, ensuring accuracy throughout the process. Additionally, we foster individual commitment from all employees to exceed our customer quality expectations. Zero defects can be realized by making it everyone’s top priority at all organizational levels.

Quality is at the core of what we do—led by a veteran Quality Control Manager who handles our ongoing continuous improvement objectives. Quality outcomes are paramount when cross-training our many IPC-certified staff members or implementing new documentation procedures.

To further our high-quality ambitions, we have employed a world-class third-party expert who has brought oversight to our internal self-certifying objectives. Auditing our documentation, procedures, and process accuracy adds another layer of quality assertion. Holding three (3) advanced degrees, including a Master of Science in Total Quality Management, he is skilled in analytical chemistry, quality management systems, documentation, and regulatory affairs. Over his decades of service to improving quality outcomes, he has dedicated himself to educating and providing an answer (ANZER) to the smallest detail. We are grateful that ANZER is one of the few electronic manufacturers he elected to consult and help validate.

What is a Dedicated SMT Prototype Line

By Gary Rothstein
Image
A dedicated SMT prototype line refers to a specialized production setup used in electronics manufacturing for creating prototype electronic devices and components using SMT ( Surface Mount Technology ) processes. SMT is a method of placing and soldering electronic components onto a printed circuit board (PCB) surface without requiring leads or wires to go through holes in the board. A prototype line is a small-scale manufacturing setup used for testing and validating a new electronic product’s design, functionality, and manufacturing processes before full-scale production begins. It allows engineers and designers to identify potential issues, optimize the manufacturing processes, and improve the design. A dedicated SMT prototype line would be specifically configured for creating prototypes using SMT processes. This might involve having a selection of SMT machines (such as  pick-and-place machines  for component placement and  reflow ovens  for soldering), inspection and quality control

PCB Soldering Problems: What Are They

By Gary Rothstein

PCB soldering problems can sometimes present challenges leading to unexpected results. Here are some of the most common issues: Cold Joints : Cold joints occur when the solder does not properly bond with the components and PCB pads due to insufficient heat or poor   soldering technique . This can lead to   weak connections   and potential intermittent failures. Solder Bridges : Solder bridges occur when excess solder connects two adjacent pins or pads that should be electrically isolated. This can   short-circuit   components or lead to unintended connections. Solder Splatter : Excessive soldering iron heat or improper technique can cause the solder to splatter, creating tiny solder balls that may cause shorts or interfere with the proper functioning of components. Solder Insufficient or Excessive : Using too little solder can result in poor connections; using too much solder can lead to bridges and blobs that affect neighboring connections or components. Component Misalignment :   Pla

How to Convert AC to DC Voltage

By Gary Rothstein

Converting AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current) voltage can be done using various methods, depending on the complexity level and your application’s specific requirements. Here are a few common methods used once you understand the differences between   AC and DC Current : Diode Rectification:  The simplest method is using diodes to create a rectifier circuit. A rectifier allows the positive portion of the AC waveform to pass through while blocking the negative portion, effectively converting AC to pulsating DC. There are two main types of rectifiers: half-wave and full-wave. Full-wave rectification is more efficient and common. Bridge Rectifier:  A bridge rectifier uses a combination of diodes in a bridge configuration to convert AC to DC. It rectifies both halves of the AC waveform, resulting in smoother DC output than half-wave rectification. Transformer and Rectifier:  Sometimes, you might use a transformer to step down or up the AC voltage before feeding it into a rectifi
