PCB design and assembly have come a long way since its conception, with a variety of new techniques and technologies improving the process along the way. Each new improvement lets people design more efficient and powerful PCBs at decreasing costs. Nowadays, people can make custom PCBs quickly and create a full product very quickly. One Read More…
One can’t overstate the importance of picking the right materials for making a printed circuit board (PCB). Each piece’s benefits can change greatly depending on the material you choose. Your PCB can range from a standard board to complex, bendable PCBs; in short, you’ll find a wide range of options. So, you should use this Read More…
Printed circuit boards, or PCBs, can come in all shapes and sizes due to the variety of electronics that need them. From a thick ¼ inch to a thin .2 mm, the thickness of a PCB can vary greatly depending on the demand. That is why it is important to know how to choose the Read More…
Anyone can tell you that working in the technological field can be tricky. Like a puzzle piece that doesn’t fit, if one thing remains out of place then the whole picture will never look just right. It’s essential that the tools of the trade are made to quality standards, but in doing so that can Read More…
Simply put, circuit board prototyping is incredibly complex. There are different components needed for each different process, and arguably the PCB assembly is one of the most important. After all, there is no point to your board if it is not assembled properly! Are you a prototype printed circuit board enthusiast? If you are looking Read More…
While many 3D printing fans are eagerly awaiting the day when 3D printers can produce electronics like custom prototype printed circuit boards, the idea of 3D PCBs remains more of a gimmick than a fact. A promising new Kickstarter campaign for a 3D electronics printer raised more than 300,000 euros. That is until Kickstarter suspended Read More…
Prototype printed circuit boards are necessary components in anything electronic, from old computers to mobile phones to televisions. These little circuits are extremely powerful and can be quite thick, but the problem that has faced many manufacturers is the fact that they cannot be recycled. There are so many different metals and materials in one Read More…
If you are designing a prototype circuit board, then there are a few general rules to follow in order to make the entire PCB fabrication process go by smoothly. Here we have compiled some tips and tricks that will help any beginner assemble their first circuit board like a pro. Placing components There are three Read More…
Prototype circuit boards are an incredibly versatile piece of technology. Prototype PCBs rose to fame in the 1950s once they were developed by the U.S. army, and they have grown in popularity ever since. In fact, these components are so popular that in 2013 alone the revenue of circuit board and electronic component manufacturing in Read More…
