USA prototype PCBs are the best option for quick turnaround projects that require high-quality, precision-manufactured printed circuit boards with strict adherence to regulatory standards, especially in industries like aerospace, defense, medical devices, and telecommunications. While the fabrication cost is usually higher compared to other countries the investment is worthwhile, particularly in industries where the failure Read More…
Castellated mounting holes, also known as castellations, are plated through holes located at the edges of a printed circuit board that are cut through using a PCB router to form half-plated holes. These castellated holes usually have a half-circular shape, but they can have other shapes, depending on the application. Design of Castellated Holes Hole Read More…
Whether you’re using a PCB design software or making one by hand, PCB design’s complex and takes proper planning. There are many different factors that influence the function of a PCB, and your design should balance them all. One trick that helps manage all these factors is using these five steps to create a custom Read More…
When you make a printed circuit board (PCB) design, there will come a point when you need to test it to ensure that it works the way you need. The most common and efficient testing method is to order a few prototype PCBs based on your design. Plenty of companies offer this service, so it’s Read More…
PCB manufacturing has seen multiple technological overhauls over the years. Each one has revolutionized how PCBs can function and gives us the technology we have today. Currently, PCB manufacturing utilizes the SMT process. Now, you might be wondering, “What does SMT stand for in PCB manufacturing?” The simple answer is that it stands for Surface-Mounted Read More…
There are many manufacturers of printed circuit boards — so many that when you need to find one fast, it can be very easy to feel overwhelmed. How do you choose the right one for your project? Believe it or not, not all PCB manufacturers are created equal. Before you place your printed circuit board Read More…
Single-sided, double-sided, and multilayered are the three main types of PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). There are several individual stages deployed in the course of PCB assembly. All of them need to function as a team to produce an overall integrated process. Every stage needs to flow into the next, and feedback after the final stage Read More…
When you chose to invest in your prototype printed circuit boards otherwise known as PCBs, you might wonder how your PCB assembly process is so precise. The PCB manufacturing process has changed greatly over the years, and it’s thanks to new technological innovations that have allowed circuit board manufacturers to innovate accurately and skillfully. Here’s Read More…
PCBs are in nearly every technological device we use today. Their primary functions are: 1. To electrically connect electronic components and 2. To provide mechanical support (e.i. the electronic components are permanently soldered to the board). PCBs are built in layers similarly to a lasagna. These layers are made of different materials in order to provide structure, Read More…
When you want to manufacture the best prototype circuit boards for your project or business, you may find yourself wondering which is better: a single-sided PCB or a double-sided PCB? You’re not alone. There are advantages to each, though both options inevitably serve the same function. Here are some of the most important facts and Read More…
