When the necessary precautions are ignored, printed circuit board hardware design and manufacturing processes are prone to fail. Design oversights such as inaccurate measurements and insufficient clearances can lead to printed circuit board (PCB) problems that impact final product performance. Catastrophic failures may result from over-etching and errors in drilling, as well as quality concerns… Read More »
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are an integral part nearly every electronic device you see or use today. Though some may be small in size, they can be highly complex in design and packed with power. Creating your PCB design in-house allows for greater control over the project, but it comes with several drawbacks, particularly if… Read More »
One of the fastest growing technologies in printed circuit board (PCB) design is high density interconnect (HDI). HDI boards allow for higher circuitry density than traditional circuit boards due to a more concentrated arrangement of smaller components, creating more concise pathways. Blind and/or buried vias are commonly used to optimize space in HDI boards, and… Read More »
Nearly every modern electronic device contains at least one printed circuit board (PCB)—a piece of material, such as plastic or resin board, onto which is printed or deposited tracks of conductive soldering material to connect various electronic components such as resistors, integrated circuits, capacitors, transformers, and so on. After all the components have been attached… Read More »
