Follow on Google News | SchmartBoard Awarded Key Circuit Prototyping PatentPatent 7,511,228 Covers “EZ” Solder Technology
In summary, the patent covers a modification of circuit board technology. A normal Printed Circuit Board (PCB) consists of two main components on the surface. The solder mask, are the colored areas, and the electronic pads, which are the metallic areas. The electronic pads are on top of the solder mask, and this is where the electronic components are placed. This system works great when circuits are mass-produced using precise robotic pick and place technology. However, when circuits need to be hand soldered for projects or prototyping, the average engineer does not have the dexterity or expertise to do it. Alternatively, it is very expensive to have a custom PCB fabricated and parts assembled on it. SchmartBoard’ “Our technology is utilized by three main user groups: industry, education and hobbyists,” says Neal Greenberg, SchmartBoard’ # # # SchmartBoardTM is committed to helping engineers, students and hobbyists develop electronic circuits faster, easier, and less expensively than previously possible.
