Have you ever wondered why some electronic devices fail unexpectedly while others function normally for years? Often, it is the heart of such electronic devices-a printed circuit board-that fails. But what happens during its manufacturing process and how could those problems be solved? Let's delve into the world of PCB assembly and uncover common pitfalls as well as their solutions.<br>
