MicroCare has the tools and fluids to make printing PCB assemblies easier. From fine pitch fabric rolls for stencil printing to presaturated wipes for cleaning squeegees, there are products to make your stencil printing and cleanup less of a chore. 

The use of electronics within the automotive sector is rapidly increasing and evolving. What was once centred on mechanical machines is shifting to electronics. These systems are now the heart of modern vehicles and will continue to be as the industry pushes ahead with autonomous and intelligent transport systems.As electronics play a bigger role, the…

PCBs (printed circuit boards) used for aerospace applications must withstand many harsh environmental conditions including high humidity, a range of airborne contaminants and varying temperatures. So, encasing them in a protective conformal coating makes sense. Conformal coatings keep harmful elements from touching the delicate components and degrading the performance of the circuit boards. However, for…

Consumer electronics companies require components from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to not only perform faultlessly, but to be perfectly clean as well. Cleanliness standards and processes must be applied when outsourcing goods to ensure the products do not fail. This is particularly significant with the increasing miniaturization of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and the complex…

The growing demand for smaller electronic assemblies is forcing manufacturers to squeeze even more micro components onto each PCBA (printed circuit board assembly). This transition to compact, denser boards is making cleaning more difficult and may lead to reliability issues.  If not properly cleaned, contaminated PCBAs can malfunction resulting in product recalls and expensive replacements…

The electronics manufacturing industry has seen incredible changes over the years. The evolution to smaller, high density circuit boards with low standoff or zero-clearance components is ongoing. With the pervasive deployment of BGAs and microBGAs, MCM devices and even denser semiconductor packages, today’s PCBs run hotter, and are more complex than ever before. In addition,…
