PCB Assembly
Technician Craft
Produced by Daniel Senda

 

Page Information

·       This PCB assembly page is intended to demonstrate some technician work that Daniel has done while working in the Dr. Baker Research Group.

·       A good number of these boards were designed for graduate students, so the assembly process begins by meeting with the appropriate graduate student. At times, it is more efficient to just solder on the package, glue the chip to the package, wire-bond the chip to package, and epoxy the wire-bonded chip (if necessary) before continuing with the rest of the assembly process.

·       The next step in the process is to gather all the components that will be needed. By doing so, Daniel gets a better idea in terms of the order to populate the board.

·       Finally comes the populating part, where all the components get soldered onto the board.  The types of soldering jobs done usually consist of through-hole and surface-mount devices (SMD).

·       Below is a series of pictures that show the finished boards that are ready for use. Note: If the PCB was designed by Daniel, the subheading will contain a link with more information about the design.
