Find the Best Fastener for
PCB Assemblies |
Integrating a printed circuit board (PCB) into an assembly is often a custom  job. Every application can require a different board location. In addition, part geometry and surface finish, solder paste, and surface mounting conditions change frequently. Some boards must be stacked or spaced, and others must be removed and re-attached periodically. These factors complicate board attachment, whether you specify component-to-board, board-to-board, or board-to-chassis. You may have a variety of hardware in the fastening toolbox, however, not all of it is practical, especially when you are working with sensitive electronics.
For example, a fastener that requires installation in a complex handling process can cause problems because of the fine work it takes to align all parts, often on both sides of a PCB. It is critical to remove any dropped hardware to prevent rattle and shorts, which could lead to product failure. More permanent fastening methods and board-related hardware with fewer parts are now available. They simplify the production process, which helps increase product quality, and they reduce overall cost.
