What's the PCBA DIP Insert Processing PCB Designing And Manufacturing
Product Description
DIP (Dual In-Line Package) insert processing is a manufacturing technique used to insert through-hole components into a printed circuit board (PCB) that has pre-drilled holes. DIP components have leads or pins that extend from the bottom and are inserted through the holes in the PCB. The DIP insert processing typically involves the following steps:
1. PCB Preparation: The PCB is prepared for DIP component insertion. This involves ensuring that the PCB has pre-drilled holes in the correct locations and sizes to accommodate the DIP component leads.
2. Component Preparation: The DIP components are prepared for insertion. This may involve straightening or aligning the component leads to ensure they can be easily inserted into the PCB holes.
3. Insertion: Each DIP component is manually or automatically inserted into the corresponding holes on the PCB. The component leads are carefully aligned with the holes and inserted until the component body rests flush against the PCB surface.
4. Securing: Once the DIP components are inserted, they are secured to the PCB to ensure they remain in place during subsequent manufacturing processes and the product's lifecycle. This can be achieved through various methods, such as soldering, crimping, or using adhesive.
5. Soldering: After the DIP components are inserted and secured, the PCB is typically subjected to a soldering process to create reliable electrical connections. This can be done through wave soldering, selective soldering, or hand soldering, depending on the production setup and requirements.
6. Inspection: Once soldering is complete, the PCB undergoes inspection to verify the quality of the solder joints and component placement. Visual inspection, automated optical inspection (AOI), or other testing methods may be employed to detect any defects, misalignments, or soldering issues.
7. Testing: The assembled PCB, with the inserted and soldered DIP components, may undergo functional or electrical testing to ensure it meets the required specifications and performs as intended.
8. Final Assembly: After testing, the PCB may proceed to final assembly, where additional components and processes are added to complete the product.
DIP insert processing is commonly used for components that cannot be mounted using surface mount technology (SMT) or for applications where through-hole components are preferred due to their robustness or specific electrical requirements.
What is ICT Automation and Why Does It Matter?
ICT, or In-Circuit Testing, is a method used to test the functionality of individual components and connections on a PCB. It checks for issues like short circuits, open circuits, incorrect component values, and soldering defects. Traditionally, this process involved manual testing or semi-automated systems, which were time-consuming and prone to errors. ICT automation takes this process to the next level by using advanced ICT machines and software to perform tests with minimal human intervention.
The importance of ICT automation lies in its ability to streamline the testing phase of PCB production. With the increasing complexity of electronic devices and the demand for faster production, automating PCB testing is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. By leveraging ICT automation, manufacturers can meet tight deadlines, maintain high-quality standards, and reduce costs associated with defective products.
Why Choose ICT Automation for Your PCB Testing Needs?
In today’s competitive electronics market, staying ahead requires adopting cutting-edge solutions like ICT automation. By improving testing speed, enhancing testing accuracy, and reducing costs, automating PCB testing with ICT machines gives manufacturers a significant edge. It ensures that products meet the highest quality standards while keeping up with the demands of high-volume production.
For industries where precision and reliability are paramount—such as aerospace, medical devices, and automotive—ICT automation is not just a tool; it’s a strategic asset. It enables manufacturers to deliver flawless products to customers, build trust, and maintain a strong reputation in the market.

What Is The Difference Between A Microvia And A Regular Via?
Microvias are smaller vias, typically with a diameter less than 150 microns, used in high-density designs. They’re ideal for HDI PCBs, where space is limited and precision is critical.
What Is Meant By A Buried Via Hole?
A buried via is located entirely within the inner layers of a PCB, with no exposure to the outer layers. It is used to connect two or more inner layers without affecting the outer surface.
What Is A Microvia?
According to the new definition within IPC-T-50M a microvia is a blind structure with a maximum aspect ratio of 1:1, terminating on a target land with a total depth of no more than 0.25mm measured from the structure’s capture land foil to the target land.
What Is Meant By A Blind Via Hole?
A blind via connects the outer layer of a PCB to one or more inner layers but does not go all the way through the board. It’s used when you need to save space and reduce signal interference.
Can I Mix Different Materials In One PCB?
Yes. Hybrid PCBs use different materials to balance cost and performance—for example, combining standard FR4 with high-frequency cores in one stack-up.
How Many Reflow Cycles Can FR4 Materials Withstand?
It is hard to give a precise answer, but we have made tests with material with up to 22 reflows, four of these with a peak temperature of 270C°. The stress after 22 reflows is considerable and material can degrade, but all connections remained functional. Our recommendation is to choose a higher grade material where there are more than 6 layers and thicker than 1.6 mm.
Do I Have To Use An FR4 Material With A High Tg (Tg = Glass Transition Temperature) For Lead-Free Soldering?
No, not necessarily. There are many factors to be taken into account, e.g. how many layers, the thickness of the PCB and also a good understanding of the assembly process (number of soldering cycles, time above 260 degrees, etc.). Some research has shown that a material with a “standard” Tg value has even performed better than some materials with a higher Tg value. Note that even with “leaded” soldering the Tg value is exceeded.
What is of most importance is how the material behaves at temperatures above the Tg value (post Tg) so knowing the temperature profiles the board will be subjected to will help you look evaluate the necessary performance characteristics.
Which PCB Surface Is Best For Lead-Free Soldering?
There is no “best surface;” all surfaces have their pros and cons. Which one you should choose depends on many factors. Please consult our technicians or review the information on surface finishes within this section of the website.
What Should I Consider When Designing A Multilayer PCB?
Key factors include layer stack-up, impedance control, heat dissipation, and ensuring the manufacturer can meet your specifications.
How Are Multilayer PCBs Manufactured?
Multilayer PCBs are typically manufactured using a process that involves layering, drilling, etching, and laminating. The process starts with the creation of a substrate, followed by the deposition of conductive layers and insulating layers. The layers are then drilled to create vias and holes for component placement. Finally, the board is laminated to ensure stability and durability.
What Is A Multilayer PCB?
A multilayer PCB is a printed circuit board that consists of multiple layers of conductive material sandwiched between insulating layers. This type of PCB is used for complex electronic circuits that require more space for routing and component placement.
How Does A Multilayer PCB Differ From A Single-Layer PCB ?
A single-layer PCB only has one layer of conductive material, while a multilayer PCB has multiple layers of conductive material. The multiple layers in a multilayer PCB allow for more space for routing and component placement, making it possible to create more complex circuits.
What Are The Advantages Of Using A Multilayer PCB?
Some of the benefits of using a multilayer PCB include increased circuit density, improved performance, reduced electromagnetic interference, and reduced circuit size.
What Materials Are Used In The Construction Of A Multilayer PCB?
The materials used in a multilayer PCB typically include a substrate material, conductive layers (such as copper), insulating layers (such as polyimide or FR4).
Are Hdi PCBs More Expensive Than Standard PCBs?
Yes, HDI PCBs usually cost more due to complex manufacturing processes, but the benefits in performance and size often justify the higher price.
What is a HDI PCB?
IPC-2226 defines HDI as a printed circuit board with a higher wiring density per unit area than conventional printed circuit boards (PCB). They have finer lines and spaces ≤ 100 µm / 0.10 mm, smaller vias (<150 µm) and capture pads <400 µm / 0.40 mm, and higher connection pad density (>20 pads/cm2) than employed in conventional PCB technology.
How Does HDI PCBs Keep My Cost Down?
HDI PCBs help reduce costs by decreasing size, minimizing the number of components, reducing signal interference, and automating the manufacturing process.
What Is The Laser Drill Accuracy?
It is very safe to assume it is +/- 1 mil accuracy. Usually, in a staggered microvia formation, the diameters of both operate and lower microvias are the same. The key parameter that decides whether the staggering is possible or not, without the lower microvia needing to be filled, is the dimension E, the vertical separation between the central access of the two microvias. For staggering to be viable, the value of E must be greater than the microvia diameter.
Why Should I Turn To HDI PCBs?
At some level of circuit complexity, turning to an architecture with blind and buried vias will result in better yield and lower cost than would a through-hole design.
How Do I Select Materials For HDI?
Materials play a large role in terms of manufacturability and direct cost of your circuit board. Here is a tip: The goal is always to select the right material for manufacturability that, at the same time, meets your temperature, and your electrical requirements. When it comes to materials, make sure that your high-speed material is also suitable for your HDI design. They are many other factors that come into play when selecting the proper materials for your design.
Why Do I Need A High-Frequency PCB For My Product?
If your product needs to transmit signals fast and clearly—like in 5G, radar, or wireless devices—a high-frequency PCB helps maintain signal integrity, reduce signal loss, and ensure minimal interference.
What is a High Frequency PCB?
A High-Frequency PCB is specifically designed for applications operating at RF and microwave frequencies, typically ranging from 3 MHz to 100 GHz. These boards are engineered to support high-speed signal transmission while minimizing losses.
What Makes High Frequency PCBs Different From Regular PCBs?
High-frequency PCBs are designed to handle RF signals, which require precise impedance control, minimal signal loss, and low interference. Unlike regular PCBs, RF PCBs are made with materials that have specific electrical and thermal properties to perform reliably at high frequencies.
What Materials Are Used In The Manufacturing Of High-Frequency PCBs?
High-frequency PCBs are made using specialized laminates such as PTFE (Teflon), Rogers, and other low-loss materials. These materials are selected based on their dielectric constant, loss tangent, and thermal conductivity to ensure reliable performance at high frequencies.
Do High-Frequency PCBs Require Special Testing Or Handling?
Yes. They need precise manufacturing, tight tolerance control, and often stricter quality checks to ensure performance meets demanding specs.
Are High-Frequency PCBs Only For Telecom Products?
No. They’re also used in automotive radar, medical equipment, satellite systems, and any product where signal quality at high speeds is critical.
What Is A Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCB?
A Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCB is a type of printed circuit board that combines multiple layers of different materials in its laminate structure, providing improved electrical and mechanical performance.
What Are The Advantages Of Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCBs?
The advantages of Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCBs include improved thermal management, increased electrical performance, reduced weight and improved dimensional stability.
How Are Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCBs Manufactured?
Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCBs are manufactured by laminating layers of different materials such as metal-based substrates, ceramic-based materials, and FR-4, and then drilling and plating vias to interconnect the layers.
What Are The Applications Of Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCBs?
