Introduction to PCB Manufacturing in China China has emerged as a global hub for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) manufacturing due to its advanced technology, skilled workforce, and cost-effective solutions. With the increasing demand for electronic devices and the rapid growth of the electronics industry, China has become a preferred destination […]

What is a Board Stiffener? A board stiffener is a device used to add rigidity and support to printed circuit boards (PCBs) or other thin, flat materials. It is typically made of a strong, lightweight material such as aluminum or steel and is attached to the back of the board […]

What is Impedance? Before diving into Controlled Impedance, let’s first define impedance itself. Impedance is a measure of opposition to alternating current (AC) in an electrical circuit. It is similar to resistance, but while resistance applies to direct current (DC), impedance encompasses both resistance and reactance, which is the opposition […]

Introduction to

Introduction to Buried vias A buried via is a type of interconnect used in multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) to electrically connect two or more inner layers without being visible on the top or bottom outer layers of the board. Buried vias are “buried” in the inner layers of the […]

Introduction to Multi Layer PCB Design Multi layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) have become increasingly common in modern electronics due to their ability to accommodate complex circuitry in a compact form factor. By stacking multiple layers of conductive copper and insulating substrate material, designers can route a high density of […]

What are HDI PCBs? HDI PCBs are printed circuit boards that feature higher wiring density and smaller vias compared to traditional PCBs. They are characterized by their fine pitch traces, micro-vias, and buried/blind vias, which allow for more compact and complex designs. HDI technology enables the manufacturing of PCBs with […]

What is AutoCAD? AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application developed by Autodesk. It is used across a wide range of industries, such as architecture, construction, manufacturing, and electronics. AutoCAD allows users to create precise 2D and 3D designs, and it supports various file formats for […]

What is the Gerber format? The Gerber format is a vector-based data format that describes the layout of a PCB. It consists of a set of files, each representing a specific layer or aspect of the PCB design. These files contain information about the copper traces, solder mask, silkscreen, drill […]

Eagle PCB design software gets significant upgrade in latest update The popular EAGLE PCB design software from Autodesk has received a major update, introducing a host of powerful new features and improvements for electronics engineers and PCB designers. EAGLE, which stands for Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor, is widely used […]
