Solar Instrumentation
What is Solar Instrumentation? Solar instrumentation is the electronic hardware used for any technology application of solar powered electronics. Solar instrumentation assists in the utilization of concentrated solar power (CSP) or photovoltaics (PV) to convert sunlight into electricity. Concentrated solar power employs mirrors or lenses in conjunction with tracking systems to focus larges areas of sunlight into smaller beams. […]

Electronic Cable Assembly
What is an Electronic Cable Assembly? An Electronic Cable Assembly is a set of cables arranged in a string formation for transmitting energy (operating currents) or information signals. Binding the cables together are cable ties, clamps, sleeves, cable lacing, conduit, electrical tape, an extruded string weave or some combination of these. Other names for an Electronic Cable Assembly include: cable […]
Sensors Instrumentation
What is Sensors Instrumentation? Sensors instrumentation refers to the ability to identify and collect information from an environment and translate it into data that can be processed and evaluated. A sensor is any devices that takes measurements of physical quantum and then converts the measurements into a signal that is readable by an instrument or observer. An […]
Why Clean, No Clean Solder Paste?
The point of no-clean solder pastes was to eliminate the need to clean circuit board assemblies. So why do most assemblers still clean? Most manufacturers have developed and fine-tuned their assembly processes to run no-clean paste and would rather run all production with one process, and only clean those which require it, than to adapt […]
Electronic Assembly Companies
What are Electronic Assembly Companies? Electronic Assembly Companies are in the business of manufacturing and testing printed circuit board assemblies, cable assemblies, cable harnesses, wiring harnesses and/or printed wiring boards for electronic products in a wide range of industries. Enlisting a third party to manufacture these assemblies is very advantageous for many reasons. Benefits of Electronic Assembly Companies […]
Instrumentation & Controls
What are Instrumentation & Controls? Instrumentation & controls refer to electronic devices or assemblies used to monitor, measure, manage or operate equipment, vehicles, machines and many other products. What are the benefits of Instrumentation & Controls? The ability to control devices and systems remotely is one of the potential benefits of instrumentation & controls. Heavy machinery, for example, can […]
