PCB
Our customers come from various sectors, specializing in satellite phones, cell phones and portable smart devices. We also engineer products for heavy industry, including testers for circuit boards and products, and high voltage and ATEX class circuit boards.
Offering Overview
A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) serves as the backbone of most electronic devices. It’s a flat board that connects all the electronic components in the device, such as capacitors, resistors, and microchips.
PCBs are designed to be compact and efficient, fitting into various devices from small gadgets like antenna tags to larger appliances like mobile/satellite phones. They are made through a process that involves printing, hence the name "printed" circuit board, where the layout of electrical connections is first designed and then printed onto a non-conductive material, typically a type of hard plastic.
Where is this offering applied?
Sasken’s PCB layout department offers expertise in circuit board design, evaluation, and utilization of diverse design tools. Collaboration between different departments, including mechanics, RF, audio design, and BB, is seamless. The team has ability to convert files from certain PCB design software to compatible platforms like PADS, PADS Pro, and Zuken.
The PCB layout department offers circuit board design to the customer from start to finish, including circuit diagram design, component creation, layout, generation of manufacturing documents, and ongoing support throughout manufacturing processes.
Addressing customer needs
The customers' challenges often include a lack of software, employees, or time, or they may lack expertise in circuit board design. Sasken addresses these challenges with flexible cooperation, helping to meet strict design limits and resolve issues before final production and delivery. Sasken offers tailored expertise or integrated solutions across departments. Our PCB layout department excels in designing from simple to complex multi-layer boards and provides inspections, improvements, and troubleshooting for various circuit board issues.
