Power Electronics PCB Assembly: Design and Testing Guide
Power electronics PCB assembly is the controlled manufacture of printed circuit board assemblies that convert, regulate, switch, or distribute electrical power. Unlike many low-power control boards, these assemblies may need to manage high current, elevated voltage, concentrated heat, fast switching edges, EMI, large components, and…
Surge Protectors in Electronic Assemblies
Surge Protectors in Electronic Assemblies (surge suppressors or surge arresters) are devices used in electronic assemblies and power distribution systems to protect connected electronic equipment from voltage spikes, surges, and transient electrical disturbances. These disturbances can occur for various reasons, such as lightning strikes, power…
PCB Assembly Safety Recommendations
PCB assembly safety is critical in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assembly to protect personnel and the equipment involved in the process. At ANZER, we focus on safety and Key Performance Indicators for all our team members since it is an ongoing process. Safety is everyone’s…
PCB Assembly Electrical Discharge: 7 Causes
Electrical discharge in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assemblies refers to an unintended release of electrical energy as a spark or arc. This discharge can occur due to various factors and potentially damage the components, traces, or the PCB itself. It is essential to understand and…
Transient Voltage Suppressor in PCB Assemblies
A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) is an electronic component used in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assemblies to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes or transients. These voltage spikes can occur for various reasons, such as lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge (ESD), inductive kickback from inductive…
