Introduction to Gerber Standard The Gerber format, also known as RS-274D or Standard Gerber, is a file format used to describe the printed circuit board (PCB) images like copper layers, solder mask, legend, drill data, etc. It is the de facto standard used by PCB industry software to describe the […]
Introduction to PCB Registration Printed Circuit Board (PCB) registration is a crucial process in the manufacturing of electronic devices. It ensures that the various layers of a PCB align precisely with each other, resulting in proper electrical connections and optimal performance. PCB registration also plays a vital role in the […]
What is a Component in React? Before we delve into the specifics of Class Components and Functional Components, let’s define what a component is in the context of React. A component in React is a reusable piece of code that represents a part of a user interface. It can be […]
What is PCB Manufacturing? PCB manufacturing is the process of designing and fabricating printed circuit boards that electrically connect and mechanically support electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks, or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. It involves multiple steps including PCB design, board fabrication, component […]
