What is ESD and Why Should We Worry About It?
Pete Starkey, I-Connect007 |
|
Stroke the cat or walk on the carpet on a dry day in winter, then touch the door handle. Ouch! If electrostatic discharge (ESD) can make us jump, imagine the effect it may have on microelectronics.

Stephen Las Marias, I-Connect007
In a recent SMT007 survey, we asked our readers how inspection has helped them improve their manufacturing process. Here are just a few of the answers, edited slightly for clarity.

Christopher Jones, Prescient Wireless: "We analyze the inspection data to identify if the manufacturing process needs to be adjusted or if an operator needs to be retrained."

Duane Benson, Screaming Circuits
As PCB assemblers, manufacturing is all about taking data and delivering good working circuit boards. It can be just data, as in full turn-key, data plus some parts, or a partial turn-key or a kitted job. Regardless of whether you're sending parts and boards or having us buy everything, PCB assemblers need good data, and a lot of it.
