A Few Tips to Improve Your PCB Success Rate

A Few Tips to Improve Your PCB Success Rate Keeping components at least 2mm from the edge of a PCB A PCB’s edge is often the most susceptible to stress. As a result, it is important to keep components at least 2mm away from the edge of the board. This is especially important if the […]

Four Rules of Setting Circuit Width and Spacing

Four Rules of Setting Circuit Width and Spacing There are four basic rules to setting circuit width and spacing. These include the x/y rule, the 2/2 rule, the 90-degree trace angle rule, and the PCB stack-up rule. Knowing these rules will make your design a lot easier to work with. Using these guidelines will help […]

What is the Role of PCB Copy Board?

What is the Role of PCB Copy Board? PCB copy board PCB copy board is one of the modern products that help manufacturers in manufacturing integrated circuits. It is an electronic device that utilizes reverse research and development (R&D) technology to restore a PCB board from a scanned copy. This process allows manufacturers to optimize […]

How to Remove the PCB Breakaway Tab

How to Remove the PCB Breakaway Tab During PCB assembly, the breakaway tab on the PCB assembly board must be removed after the components are assembled. To remove this tab, you have several options. These options include using a Milling depanelizer, a V-cut depanelizer, or manual removal. Rat-bite To make the removal process easier, a […]

How Can Engineers Avoid Inflows During PCB Design?

How Can Engineers Avoid Inflows During PCB Design? Inflows are a problem in pcb design and must be avoided. There are several ways to do this, including Solid ground planes, keepouts, Shift-left verification, and component keepouts. These practices will help engineers avoid inflows, and will make a PCB layout easier to manufacture. Component keepouts Keepouts […]

Common Mistakes in PCB Schematic Design

Common Mistakes in PCB Schematic Design Avoiding slivers Slivers are small pieces of copper or solder mask that can be very harmful to the PCB’s functionality. They can lead to short circuits and can even cause corrosion of copper. This reduces the life of the circuit board. Luckily, there are a few ways to avoid […]

Suggestions For PCB Layout Design From Soldering Angle

Suggestions For PCB Layout Design From Soldering Angle When designing a circuit board, there are several things to keep in mind, including the soldering angle. In general, you should avoid soldering with your face directly above the joint. To avoid this, try to place the power and ground planes on the inner layers of the […]

Three Tips For Reducing PCB Design Risk

Three Tips For Reducing PCB Design Risk There are many ways to reduce the risk associated with PCB design. Some of these include orienting all components in the same direction and using multiple vias at layer transitions. Others include keeping analog and digital circuits separate and keeping oscillatory circuits away from heat. Orienting components in […]

Causes and Solutions of PCBA Pseudo Soldering

Causes and Solutions of PCBA Pseudo Soldering PCBA pseudo soldering is a problem that affects the quality of the finished PCBA. It can cause losses due to rework, which reduces the production efficiency. However, detecting and solving pseudo soldering problems can be done using inspection. Reflow soldering Reflow soldering is one of the most common […]

Research on PCB Plug Mechanism and Effective Control Method

Research on PCB Plug Mechanism and Effective Control Method Pressurized microchambers A pressurized microchamber is an effective means of transporting liquid in lab-on-PCB devices. It works by storing pneumatic energy and releasing it through an opening in a microvalve. The microvalve is electrically activated, using a gold wire of about 25 m in diameter. Lab-on-PCB […]
