Printed circuit boards (PCBs) provide the foundation for electronics packaging and component assembly. PCB thickness is a critical design parameter impacting manufacturing capabilities, utilization, and reliability. Selecting suitable…
The United States was once home to a thriving printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing industry. However, like many electronics sectors, economic factors led to extensive offshoring of production…
A PCB (printed circuit board) designer is a professional who specializes in the layout, routing and documentation of printed circuit boards using electronic design automation (EDA) software tools.…
PCB (printed circuit board) prototyping is the process of designing, testing and manufacturing a preliminary version of a printed circuit board before full-scale production. Prototyping allows designers and…
Introduction to PCBs A printed circuit board (PCB) is the board base for physically supporting and wiring the surface-mounted and socketed components in most electronics. PCBs provide mechanical…
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are integral components of most modern electronic devices. Ensuring PCBs function correctly is critical before deploying them into products. There are several testing methodologies…
Introduction to flex rigid PCBs A flex rigid PCB, also known as a rigid flex PCB or flex-rigid PCB, is a printed circuit board that consists of flexible…
A printed circuit board (PCB) transformer is a type of transformer that is manufactured directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB). PCB transformers provide galvanic isolation and allow…
Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) form the foundation of electronics, providing the mechanical structure and electrical interconnections for components. PCB fabrication, or manufacturing, is the complex multi-step process…
Introduction In printed circuit board (PCB) design, you may come across an odd looking cutout pattern called a “mouse bite” along the edges of boards and panels. This…

Tell us what the circuit needs to do, how it will bend and when you need it. A complete build brief makes a quote easier to evaluate.
Include Gerber and drill data, a fabrication drawing and stackup notes. Put related files in one ZIP. Add a BOM and placement file when assembly is required.
