Digicom Electronics to Showcase Capabilities at BIOMEDevice
December 1, 2017 | Digicom ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Digicom Electronics Inc. will present ways to mitigate device failure in manufacturing processes, at the BIOMEDevice Show, which will be held December 6–7, at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California. In addition, Digicom will be celebrating its 35th year in the California Bay Area.
"Device failure can often be attributed to printed circuit board contamination or problems with the solder joints," explained Mo Ohady, general manager of Digicom Electronics. "Digicom has spent several years researching ways to produce ultra-clean boards and to build-in reliability throughout the assembly process. We developed a proprietary Diamond Track Cleaning Process, which independent testing agencies verify produces boards with zero ion contamination. In addition, studies show a 50-60% reduction in defect level when using nitrogen in the reflow process. Digicom generates its own nitrogen and pipes it to all our soldering processes, including hand, reflow, and selective soldering. 100% of our boards are inspected. We feel that it's essential that an EMS company take every step to ensure the integrity of the devices they prototype and assemble."
Digicom helps companies with their complete process from design review through prototyping, component sourcing, manufacture, test, and process validation. It has been recognized as one of the first companies to have been certified for the new AS9100:2016 (Rev D) aerospace quality and ISO 9001:2015 standards, and has ISO 13485:2003 medical devices quality, quality system regulation 21 CFR 820, ITAR, and numerous other certifications.
Digicom will be in Booth 327.

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
