Other speeches

(Left DTI 29/5/02)
Thank you, Anthony. I am delighted to be here today at the launch of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design Scheme. I believe that this project will continue to develop the United Kingdom as a leading global player, in this important high value added area.

As the Government recognised in the 2001 White Paper, "Opportunity for all in a world of change", the development and maintenance of a healthy skills base is vital for ongoing economic success and productivity in the UK. This is especially so in the all important enabling technologies that make the UK a leading Knowledge Economy: IT, Communications and electronics. This is why my Department, in partnership with the Department for Education and Skills, supports a major strategy to maintain and improve the supply of skilled labour for these vital industries.

Our strategy has three key planks:

Maintaining the skills pipeline, so there is a plentiful pool of skilled labour from which business can recruit;

Encouraging diversity in employment in IT, communications and electronics industries - we really must work hard to tackle the under-representation of women in the industry;

Developing new learning content and learning approaches that directly address the needs of business;

This PCB project is part of that third objective, to ensure that industry gets the people it needs, through a ground breaking partnership between industry, the Education system and government.

Printed Circuit Boards are found in most electronic products, virtually all electronic equipment contains one or more. The UK is particularly strong in electronics design. It has the EU's largest independent industry for silicon chip design, with;

40% of all the independent design houses in Europe and;

more than 5,000 PCB Designers.

But if Britain is to continue this work then the number of PCB Designers needs to be maintained and opportunities opened for those currently in the profession to refresh their skills.

PCB Design is one of the highest value-added activities in the production process. Design underpins many of the technical advances in chip speed and new product design and current practitioners need to constantly refresh and update their skills. But we need more than that. We need :

In excess of 500 additional PCB Designers to cope with the growth predicted over the next four years. This is a substantial challenge for various reasons.

First, the traditional methods of entry to this profession through mechanical apprenticeships is now inappropriate for the skills required.

Second, the age profile of existing practitioners is such that we have a real task to encourage and train new entrants just to meet the shortfall that will arise through retirements.

The project will therefore establish PCB design centres in six academic institutions throughout the UK;

Napier University, Edinburgh

University of Glamorgan, South Wales

Castlereagh College, Belfast

Bolton Institute, Bolton, Lancashire

University of East London

Newbury College, Newbury, Berkshire electronic design and manufacturing needs

Electronics Design Services
TronicsZone offers customized electronic design & prototyping services covering a wide area in the electronics domain. We design all kinds of electronic circuits & electronic products according to custom specifications.

Request a quotation for your project

Some of the electronic design services we offer are:

Custom electronics design & product development/prototyping service: This covers the design, prototyping and development of all kinds of electronic hardware. We design according to the requirements of the customer. Normally we require the specifications for a design job from the customer. In case the customer is not from the electronics field, then we can convert the requirements of the customer supplied in "plain English" to functional and electrical specifications and then proceed towards completing the design.
Embedded systems design (hardware and firmware/software): An embedded system is the one that "embeds" a microprocessor (commonly called as "processor") or a microcontroller (MCU) into the electronics design. Usually most everyday products that we use like refrigerators, automobiles, washing machines, microwave ovens and even your TV uses embedded microcontrollers in them. The best thing about embedded systems is that most of its functions are software controlled and can be changed easily without much work lost in re-designing the hardware. Although embedded systems design are a common part of any electronic systems & used in most of our designs, its worth mentioning it as a separate service since some customers might be specifically looking for this service.
PCB (printed circuit board) design & prototyping (single & multilayer): The printed circuit board, commonly referred to as the "PCB", also called Printed Wiring Boards (PWB), is an inherent part of every electronic hardware. This is a board (usually green colored) which supports and interconnects all the parts together. Every custom electronics hardware that we design includes PCB layout designing, prototyping & assembly by default. We can also offer PCB layout designing (PCB designing for short) & prototyping as a standalone service in order to convert any existing schematic diagrams that you might have already designed into fully assembled prototypes.
Complete electronic product design from concept to completion: This involves the development of a full fledged, complete "ready to market" product and consists of enclosure design (either based on readily available enclosures, or custom designed mold preparation), hardware design (schematic & PCB design), user interface design (front panel/control panels), firmware/software design, product approvals (CE mark, FCC, UL etc). We are good at converting mere English descriptions into complete products by interacting with clients till their we understand what they have in mind.
Re-engineering services to lower manufacturing costs or to correct flaws of existing designs: This is self-explanatory.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs)
Once it has been established that the circuit functions as intended, the next step is usually to make a printed circuit board.

PCB showing copper connections running beneath the board

Making a PCB

The first step is to draw the circuit on to a mask. This is a kind of filter which protects the 'positive' parts of the diagram (the connections between components) and exposes the 'negative' parts (all the rest). The mask is then placed on the board which has a thin coating of copper, and the circuit diagram transferred onto the board using an etch-resist pen. (An alternative technique uses a photosensitive board which is covered by the mask and then exposed to light.) The circuit is then etched onto the board using iron (III) chloride in an etching tank; this removes all the unwanted copper, leaving the req uired tracks and pads in place on the board. NB - this should only be done under a teacher's supervision.

Next, a small PCB drill is used to drill out the center of the pads. Finally the components are pushed through the board and soldered in place.

The graphic below shows a mask for a 555 monostable timer circuit, ready for transferring to a board. Note that masks are normally shown from the component side - that is, as though the board was transparent and viewed from the side from which the components are pushed through.

With the components installed, the board would look like this:

Soldering
In electronics the main method of joining circuits is soldering. Electrical solder is made from an alloy of 65 percent tin and 35 percent lead. It also has a flux running through its core. The flux is needed to ensure that the solder makes a good joint between the components and the tracks and wires on the PCB.

?2008 AirBorn PCB Assembly
A good electronics manufacturer tailors the reliability of his processes and assemblies to suit his customer base. AirBorn Electronics designs and manufactures Printed Circuit board assemblies to a standard compatible with professional quality equipment. Many of our customers sell expensive niche market equipment. They really do not want to have a breakdown caused by a manufacturers decision to use an economical 10c IC socket in place of a more reliable 50c part. We have other clients who sell into higher volume commodity-product markets, and different design rules apply to their work due to the economies of scale.
It is surprising how many ISO9000 Manufacturers produce atleast some equipment that complies only with items (8) and (10) - it is because quality of manufacturing starts with the design. Its all very well to have an ISO9000 Manufacturer produce your boards, but if the design is not up to scratch the end result will ofcourse be faithfully reproduced ISO9000 compliant junk. Standards rarely specify quality of design - indeed, when they try to do this they usually create such a rigid inflexible environment that nothing useful gets produced. Even with our "top ten" criteria above, there will be projects where the best design choice involves breaking one of the rules. It is fantastic to have a strong standards base for your products and designs, but by and of itself it is not the whole answer.
By extending the engineering design into the specification of the manufacturing operation, AirBorn Electronics can increase the quality of the final product. By being available to respond to the changing engineering requirements that arise from time to time in manufacturing, we can help ensure the highest quality final product in the longer term.

AirBorn Electronics' custom design does not carry with it an obligation to have us involved with the product manufacturing - the customer owns the design. The fact that many of our customers do choose to have us involved with the manufacture (and not just the design) of their PCBs perhaps illustrates that we have the quality/price tradeoff set at the right point for our market.
