1. PCB Fabrication Costs The first significant expense in PCB assembly is the cost of fabricating the bare PCB itself. Several factors influence PCB fabrication costs: PCB Size and Complexity The dimensions of your PCB design directly impact the fabrication cost. Larger PCBs require more material and manufacturing time, resulting […]

Understanding Ferric Chloride Ferric chloride (FeCl3) is an acidic salt commonly used in PCB Etching due to its ability to dissolve copper. When exposed to ferric chloride, the copper on the PCB surface that is not protected by a resist layer is chemically removed, creating the desired circuit pattern. Chemical […]

Introduction to PCB Plating Simulation Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing involves multiple complex processes, one of which is electroplating. Plating is crucial for ensuring reliable electrical connections, corrosion resistance, and the overall durability of the PCB. However, optimizing the plating process can be challenging due to various factors such as […]

Introduction to PCB Phototools Printed Circuit Board (PCB) fabrication is a complex process that involves several steps, including PCB design, PCB Prototyping, and PCB manufacturing. One of the critical stages in this process is the image transfer of the PCB design onto the copper-clad board. This is where PCB phototools […]

What is an RF PCB? An RF PCB, or radio frequency printed circuit board, is a specialized type of PCB designed to work with high-frequency signals in wireless communication devices and systems.
