When you picture a metal shop, you probably think of the sparks, the noise, and the sheer force behind the machines. But what you don’t see hidden behind panels and control boxes are the Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) quietly running the show. Every cut, bend, and weld depends on these boards. They make sure […]

In advanced motor control systems, safety and performance depend on motor feedback. At Quantum Controls, we design and manufacture intelligent PCBAs that not only drive motors efficiently but also listen to them. One of the most valuable signals for feedback and protection comes from the motor itself: back electromotive force (back EMF). What Is Back […]

Forecast models for 2026 suggest that the U.S. economy could slow, with some analysts predicting a mild recession and others anticipating a soft landing. For companies in the electronics manufacturing sector, this raises a critical question: how will a potential downturn impact the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) market? At Quantum Controls, we’ve been evaluating […]

Picture a control cabinet in a busy factory. Relays click, wires snake in every direction, and separate modules hum with activity. For decades, this has been the standard: a single system composed of many individual components, each performing a distinct function. Maintenance is a challenge. Troubleshooting is a puzzle. Space is at a premium. Now […]

What is Conformal Coating on a PCBA and When is it Needed? In electronics manufacturing, protecting a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) is critical to long-term reliability and performance. One of the most widely used protection methods is conformal coating—a thin, polymer layer applied over the board and its components. What Conformal Coating Does Conformal […]

The US Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) sector is seeing steady growth in the face of supply chain challenges, rising costs, and evolving global dynamics. As Quantum Controls continues to deliver innovative solutions in electronic motor control design and manufacturing from Chanhassen, MN, this overview highlights key trends and risks shaping the marketplace for OEMs, […]

In the exacting environment of electronics manufacturing, quality isn’t optional—it’s essential. From PCB assembly (PCBA) to complex system builds, every component must meet stringent standards for precision, durability, and performance. That’s why ISO 9001:2015 certification plays such a critical role. What is ISO 9001:2015 Certification? ISO 9001:2015 is an international standard for quality management systems. […]

When designing a printed circuit board (PCB), one of the most important decisions you’ll make is determining how many layers your board requires. At Quantum Controls, Inc., we specialize in assembling PCBAs with anywhere from 2 to 32 layers, ensuring our customers get the right solution for their application. But how do you know how […]

If you’ve ever reached out to Quantum Controls Inc. for a quote on a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) project, you’ve probably heard this request: “Can you send us the Gerber files?” It’s not just a formality, these files are essential to getting your project priced accurately, reviewed for manufacturability, and delivered on time. Here’s […]
