If a functional electronic device is compared to a human body then the PCB would be the skeleton/support framework and the PCB components would be the vital organs. Understanding the basic PCB components is essential to design electronic circuits that are highly...
This presentation will discuss efficient PCB material selection. Before selecting begins, there are many factors to consider. Make sure material characteristics fit your specific board requirements and end application. Today, we will focus on the dielectric...
Multi-layered printed circuit board design requires a means to establish connections between various layers. This is done using vias ranging from through-hole vias to via-in-pad technology. While traces serve as horizontal connection elements, vias function as...
The first checklist we like to implement after receiving Gerber files is signal checks. This checklist holds key parameters that include conductor width, spacing requirements, and hole registration. We would like to shed some light on some of these DFM issues that...
It’s important to find the right PCB manufacturer who can serve as an effective partner. This partner should minimize turnaround time without sacrificing quality, and work as a valuable asset within the competitive IoT space.
Aviation and aerospace is a hot topic right now. The number of aircraft is likely to double in the next 20 years and space is slowly becoming accessible to tourists. And SpaceX will fly you across the globe in less than one hour pretty soon. This means that the number...
Tips on ensuring maximum dependability in your flex PCBs.
When the temperature of a PCB assembly starts rising, the owner of that board begins to sweat profusely. Clearly, they feel the heat more than the components on the board do. Jokes apart, don’t lose your cool, metal cores are here for you. The rapid development of the...
A few days back, I came across a really cool quote about data. “In God we trust. All others must bring data.” – W. Edwards Deming, statistician. Since then, I have been wondering what could be the best way to share, incorporate and explain this. What’s better than our...
