Image
  In this series of articles, we will answer the questions that are frequently asked by our clients. And this Q&A 001 is mainly about our full-featured PCB relative services. You can also enjoy our video version below. We invite Daphne, a customer service manager who has worked at PCBWay for over 6 years to answer the following questions. Q1: Could you pls give a brief introduction about the services that PCBWay are offering ? Daphne: Sure. As we can see from our website, currently we are not only offering Quick PCB prototyping and manufacturing service, but also PCB assembly and design service, which we are proud to say that we can meet your pcb needs totally under one roof. Q2: What are the general capabilities of PCBWay? Daphne: We are able to produce up to 14-layer PCB, and have a wide range of services, including HDI boards, Alumium PCB, Flex PCB and Rigid-flex PCB. Also we have most choices to customize your boards, based on your special needs on solder mask colors and surfac

PCBWay TV Show 03- Let's Make ROBOTS!

The emergence of the word robot and the advent of the world’s first industrial robot are both recent decades. However, people’s fantasy and pursuit of robots has a history of more than 3,000  years. Nowadays, robots helped humans in many ways, do repetitive work on the production line, dive into the deep ocean or travel at the outer space to conduct research task or even in charge on the battlefield. While in the eyes of the makers, what purpose does the robot have? How did they make a unique robot by themselves?

PCBWay TV Show 02- How is LED Shining in the Life of Electronic Makers ?

Image
1907, a British Henry Joseph round discovered that when an electric current is applied to the inorganic materials, it could emit light. Since then, people start the study of the LED. And through the development of many years, not only LED burst into various brilliance in the lighting field but also applied in various fields. And nowadays our awesome makers use these tiny light bulbs into the various projects. And it’s all start from the human instinct of pursuit of light. This article will show 14 different kinds of LED projects. You can also watch the video version below. 1 . POV Flex LED Version1 Carl’s first version of FlexLED. It can light 3 colors, green, yellow and red. The Hyper Red source color devices are made with AlGalnP on GaAs substrate Light Emitting Diode. The Super Bright Yellow device is made with AlGalnO(on GaAs substrate) light emitting diode chip. The Green source color devices are made with InGaN on Sapphire Light Emitting Diode. Holographic FlexLED It’s an upgrade

What is the Purpose of Plating Nickel on PCB?

  The chemical element symbol of nickel is Ni. Because of its excellent physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, nickel has many applications in engineering and industry, such as anti-corrosion, increased hardness, wear-resistance, and magnetism. It is mainly used in alloy formulations, such as nickel steel, nickel-chromium steel, nickel-copper, etc. to increase its corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Because of its good oxidation resistance, it was often used to make coins in the early days. Nickel itself is very active to oxygen, which means that nickel itself is easily oxidized in the atmosphere, but because the oxides (NiO, Ni (OH) 2) produced by itself have excellent fineness. A film can be formed to cover itself to isolate it from continuing contact with the air, so it can resist continued oxidation, which means that nickel will oxidize itself to form a protective film before it can protect itself and the bottom metal from continued oxidation. This point should b
