Introduction to Ceramic PCB Ceramic printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a type of specialized PCB that uses a ceramic substrate material instead of the more common FR-4 fiberglass. Ceramic PCBs offer several advantages over traditional PCBs, including superior thermal conductivity, lower dielectric loss, and higher reliability in harsh environments. These […]
What is a Resistor? A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. The main characteristics of […]
