PCB, or printed circuit board, is the backbone of modern devices. It’s usually used as a base for connecting and arranging electrical parts. It generally comes with different PCB layers. Each layer is responsible for unique tasks. Their flat, rigid bodies make a stable base for placing parts. Their main job is ensuring the electrical connection…
PCB, or printed circuit board, is everywhere. It is a critical part of every modern electronic device. It serves as the backbone of the device and makes it possible for electronic components to fit together smoothly. When we explore PCBs more, we find a wide range of variations. HDI PCB is one of them. PCBs…
Introduction You may have created your rigid FR4 multilayer PCBs by now and are satisfied with their performance. You understand their construction (FR4, Copper Layers, Prepreg, etc.) and probably know how to order and create them online. However, you realize that your project’s interconnections are increasingly getting more complicated and space-constrained. You need something more…
Do you need help sourcing components for your PCBs? Want a guide to make your sourcing process more efficient? Read this in-depth guide about PCB component sourcing. Introduction PCB component sourcing is a vital process to complete your PCB design projects. Without component sourcing, you might end up with an incomplete project. Imagine all the…
Introduction Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) has gone a long way. From constructing and assembling your circuit boards to sourcing your components, EMS has extended its service to complicated logistics, databases, and supply chains. Moreover, with the rise of Artificial Intelligence and automation tools, most EMS already embrace Industry 4.0 standards. Below is a guide on the…
PCB Prototyping is the process of making a circuit in the form of a printed circuit board. This printed circuit board makes connecting your components more secure and robust. A PCB prototype is better than a breadboard with wired components. This method is especially true when presenting your projects. You can prototype a PCB manually…
Introduction Constructing a PCB may entail many processes. You must assign person-hours to design your boards, ensure manufacturability, and check for design issues. On top of that, you also have to ensure that your PCB design house can handle all the requirements of your finalized board. Faithfully following the processes above can help you avoid…
