We had the pleasure of chatting with Mike Rankins and Gary Shanahan, supply chain specialists at Digi-Key, to break down the details of the shortage from their perspective.

In the second half of our conversation with Mike Konrad of Aqueous Technologies we talk all about how to implement a board cleaning process.

In this episode we are joined by Mike Konrad to chat about board cleaning. In the first part of this conversation we delve into the history of board cleaning, the electronics the industry's transition to primarily using no-clean flux, and why more and more companies are reintroducing board cleaning back into their assembly process.

On this episode we are joined by Nicole Poirier who works in the receiving and shipping department at Worthington. She walks us through how we prepare the boards to leave our facility on their end journey to your doorstep.

We often get asked about the best way to route very fine pitch BGA and CSP packages. Often times designers think they need to route their traces between the BGA pads. But if you try that, then you will violate our 3-mil trace width and gap. So what’s to be done?

On this episode we have CircuitHub CAM engineer, Dave Wilcox, back on the show to walk us through the PCB CAM process.

What does a NASA JPL underwater vehicle that monitors methane bubbles in the arctic, robots that kill invasive species of starfish, and a robotics swan light show have in common? They are all examples that have used marine robotics components created by Blue Robotics.

PCB Depaneling is the process of breaking the individual PCBs out of the panel that is used to assemble the boards and is typically one of the very last steps assembled circuit boards go through before they are shipped.

On this episode we're joined by Jack McLeans to discuss sensors.AFRICA, a pan-African citizen science initiative that uses low-cost sensors to monitor air, water and sound pollution to give citizens actionable information about their cities.

In this episode Dave Wilcox, CAM engineer at CircuitHub, joins us again to educate us on bare printed circuit board materials....think prepreg, laminate etc.

On today's episode we continue on with our technical sub-series about the assembly process. We delve into selective soldering, which is used to solder through hold components onto boards.

This episode is a continuation of our conversation with Eli Hughes of Tzero. If you haven't checked out the first part, we recommend you do so first before listening to this episode.
