What is PCB Back Drilling? PCB back drilling, also known as controlled depth drilling or back-drill, is a process used in the manufacturing of high-speed printed circuit boards (PCBs) to remove the unused portion of a plated through-hole (PTH) that extends beyond the last layer of the PCB. This technique […]

The Evolution of PCB Technology PCBs have come a long way since their invention in the early 20th century. The first PCBs were simple, single-sided boards with through-hole components. As electronics became more complex and miniaturized, PCBs evolved to accommodate these changes. The introduction of double-sided boards, multi-layer boards, and […]

What is a Regular PCB? A regular PCB, also known as a conventional PCB, is a printed circuit board that consists of conductive tracks, pads, and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. These boards are used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using […]
