How can I fix the PCB to the mechanical structure?

I designed a PCB with an imaging sensor that is mechanically coupled to a lens assembly using four 2-56 schroeven. I'm noticing that even though the screws are holding the board tightly against the mechanical structure if I flick or lightly knock the the assembly the image "moves". I'm hoping to get a few suggestions for ways to fix the PCB to the mechanical structure. Any suggestions for adhesives or the like? Something else?

You probably want to add some mechanical stiffeners to your board. It may be too late for that, echter, since that is usually factored into the PCB design (unless you want to design a new PCB and mounting fixture).

The stiffener would be a rigid piece of metal or other material that runs along the length of your PCB (or sometimes across the center of it) with fasteners to hold the board tightly against it. It can also provide the mounting interface to your optics and/or thermal relief (koellichaam).

What kinds of test is suitable for low volume PCB order?

I’ve ordered fabrication and assembly of small PCB batches (100st) a couple of times already. Each time the factory asked me if I want to do test on the PCB. But I don’t what to do about it. And I test them by myself. Vervolgens, the result of the testing is unacceptable with 15% soldering problems. So bad. I think I will ask the supplier to test them before delivery.

Are SMT components bad for high voltage applications?

Many assembly factories are asking for SMT jobs, while I think through hole would be a better option for a high voltage application. Before the high voltage project is started, we need to make a call on SMT or Through hole parts. Is there a study on this?

Can I use LEDs without PCB?

I recently purchased LEDs on ebay that were supposed to come attached to star PCB (as a heat sink). The items I received are just the LEDs (no PCB). They are listed as 3W LEDs, with a forward voltage of 3.0-3.4V, and current at 700mA.Will I damage/destroy the LEDs if I use them without a heat sink? Als niet, what is the best way to mount these to preserve their life during operation?
