PCB design in Wisconsin is quickly gaining traction over the last several years due to advancements in and the abundant use of circuit boards. This highly specialized field of Print Circuit board assembly in Wisconsin is due to the fact that just about everything in our modern digital world is made up of at least one circuit board! Many systems have multiple boards in them that often will perform one function on its own and several when networked with other boards (think sound card in a desktop computer case) creating a machine that does something complex (from a laptop or desktop computer to the blender in your kitchen, they all have circuit boards)!
Sizes and Configurations
These boards range in sizes from thumbnail boards, typically found in small electronic devices like cell phones, nose hair trimmers, and things of that nature, to bigger boards that network with others to create a single component with multiple functions (think CPU in your computer) to one big board that holds many different configurations of electronics that allow you user to do some pretty amazing things (think motherboard in your computer).
What Is A Printed Circuit Board?
The term “printed” is used because these thin fiberglass boards have all their “wiring” painted on by a robot with incredible precision based on a template design that is hashed out in the lab for a long time before taking it to design. Just like ink is printed on paper, the copper/gold/silver wiring is painted on, forming a fully integrated wiring design that takes up almost no vertical space. It’s like a drawing you can tap into to make the board do things, especially when wired to GUI (graphical user interface) devices.
To use the board, you simply have to put the right components into it and use the infrastructure of the “wiring” network to connect them just so. Boards are often printed for a specific product or use and instantly allow another robot to just insert the appropriate components and solder them down (usually in one swift step) for the design to work. The wiring is hard wired into the board and the components added are soldered in place right onto one of the “power” wires on the board or to be networked with other components for a purpose (result).
