The use of PCBs is common in a wide range of electronic devices. These include smartphones, laptops, tablets, and more. However, modern PCBs come with multiple layers for better signaling and routing. These multiple layers are connected through tiny holes called vias. This term stands for “Vertical Interconnect Access.” However, there are different via types…

You might be wondering how thousands of electrical connections work inside a PCB. Even a simple analog circuit needs wire connections and a messy setup. How come a thin green card can complete a circuit without any risk of a short circuit? That’s where proper PCB stackup design comes in. PCB stackup design is an…

Printed circuit boards are integral components of almost every device. From smartphones to electrical display systems, printed circuit boards provide seamless functionality and operational systems for devices.   One of the most important components when designing is the trace width. It is a game-changer because it carries the current without overheating. The wrong width can…

The use of PCB is common in different electronics, right? They help keep different small components aligned in a single place. These PCBs come in different types. These types of PCBs differ from one another in many respects. Among those types, the debate between single-sided vs double-sided PCBs is prevalent.    Many people favor double-sided…

You might have noticed that the electronic devices are becoming smaller and smarter day by day. This smart design demands such a circuit board that can fit into the tight space. But traditional large PCBs often fail here due to their inflexibility. That’s where the flexible PCB comes into play. They are smarter, bendable, and…

Electronic devices, such as smartphones and control display systems, have smaller electrical components. They offer powerful functionality but within a compact unit called a printed circuit board (PCB).   There are different types of PCBs. Among them, one of the best is the multilayer PCB, which is divided into multiple layers for circuit operations. They…

Technology is constantly evolving. In the late 20th century, you saw the rise of personal computers, the internet, and mobile phones. Another technological era began in the next century (21st). You saw smartphones (the iPhone), the cloud (Google, Microsoft), and social media (think Facebook, Instagram, etc.)  develop. In this period, you also saw pre-AI and…

Two important characteristics of PCB manufacturing are quality and cost. In the early days, it was almost impossible to achieve both characteristics. The introduction of automation in PCB manufacturing in the 1950s and 60s paved the way for consistent quality and reduced costs of mass-produced PCBs.   UET PCB is an experienced manufacturer of PCB…

The process of choosing an SMD PCB assembler and manufacturer has changed significantly over the new millennium. Before, countries in East Asia, such as Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, dominated the PCB manufacturing market. In the West, the United States and Europe also played a pivotal role. However, things started to change when China entered…

Do you have a medical device that needs zero-defect quality? Read along to know more about the ISO 13485 Quality Management System. Medical devices are equipment that can diagnose, monitor, or even treat some illnesses. These devices interact with human beings with medical conditions. With this, they should be safe, compliant, reliable, and maintained. One…
