What is a PCB Substrate? A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) substrate is the foundation material upon which the electronic components and conductive traces are placed. It provides mechanical support and electrical insulation for the components and interconnections. The substrate is a critical component of a PCB, as its properties directly […]
What is a Stepper Motor? A stepper motor is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. It moves in discrete increments, or steps, rather than rotating continuously like a conventional DC motor. The motor’s position can be precisely controlled without any […]

What is PCA Electronics? PCA (Printed Circuit Assembly) Electronics refers to the process of assembling various electronic components onto a printed circuit board (PCB) to create a functional electronic device. The PCB is a flat board made of insulating material, such as fiberglass or plastic, with conductive pathways etched or […]
How Does a Voltage Divider Work? The working principle of a voltage divider is based on Ohm’s law and the concept of series resistance. When two resistors are connected in series, the voltage across each resistor is proportional to its resistance value. The total voltage across the series combination is […]
