Partner with Sonic Manufacturing for Electronic Prototype Assembly Services
A prototype is an early sample, model or release of a product created to test a concept or process. It’s primarily used to evaluate a new design before a company invests in mass production. Prototypes often fail, and this shows designers where the defects are. The team then can ‘go back to the drawing board’ […]
How Sonic is Making PCBs Safer for the Environment
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components used in electronic devices. However, the PCB manufacturing process involves using various chemicals and materials, some of which may pose a risk to the environment. Some of the materials used in PCBs can contaminate water, soil, and air. These chemicals include lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants. […]
Design Considerations for Renewable Energy PCBs
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are crucial to many machines and devices in the energy industry. As with other applications, PCBs connect electronic components, allowing power and signals to flow to other devices. The energy industry continues to evolve, which means machinery becomes more complicated as well. Due to this, the machines require high-quality PCBs to […]
