Professional PCB Repair: Why You Should Trust the Experts
From drives to sensors and HMIs, printed circuit boards (PCBs) are one of the backbones of the manufacturing industry; they are essential in almost all electronic machines used daily. While once designed using pin pads and components laid on Mylar sheets, now their parts, such as resistors, capacitors, etc., are soldered to a board, allowing electricity to flow, getting all the gears moving. PCBs can be diverse, consisting of multiple layers or just one, and made of metals like copper. They’re intricate and require immediate and expert assistance when they fail. But what causes failure to happen?
PCBs often break down because of five common problems, the first being physical damage; Whether it’s pressure or shock, a force can easily throw them out of whack. Component and/or power failure can cause the device not to turn on, regardless of a lack of physical damage to the PCB, and trace damage to silver or copper pathways can cause a similar issue. If the design and construction are poor, it can severely damage the PCB from the start.
Without expert understanding of circuit boards, it’s very easy to create even more costly errors. Improper tools and equipment can damage the board, and even with adequate soldering tools, if the process is completed without proper skill, more issues can arise. Not being aware of loose connections or failing to identify the root cause of the problem can lead to unnecessary repairs, and missing warning signs like odor and smoke can lead to safety hazards. It’s imperative always to wear protective gear like glasses and masks to combat this.
