EMS – Production Delays & Higher Costs Driven by Component Shortages
The electronics industry on a worldwide basis sees no immediate end to component shortages and most manufacturers expect these problems to continue through 2022. Global surveys find that electronics manufacturers continued to be slowed by the global shortage in semiconductors and related components / materials, causing production delays, and increased costs. Like most other industries, EMS companies […]
Metal PCB’s
Metal PCB’s are printed circuit boards used for the dissipation of heat away from components or operating areas on the Printed Circuit Board. The Metal PCB conducts heat to less critical areas such as the metallic core and metal heat sink backing. They are constructed of a metal base (generally aluminum), non-conducting layers, conducting circuit layers, and solder mask. […]
