What are PCB Vias? PCB vias are small holes drilled through a printed circuit board (PCB) that electrically connect different layers of the board. Vias allow signals and power to pass from one layer of the PCB to another. They are essential features in PCB design that enable more complex […]
1. Health and Safety Concerns Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals One of the primary reasons we discourage home PCB Etching is the potential health risks associated with the chemicals used in the process. Etching solutions typically contain strong acids or alkaline substances that can cause severe burns, respiratory issues, and other […]
Introduction to PCB Milling PCB milling is a process of creating custom printed circuit boards (PCBs) using a computer-controlled milling machine. This method allows for rapid prototyping and small-scale production of PCBs without the need for expensive and time-consuming chemical etching processes. In this article, we will guide you through […]

Introduction to New Product Introduction (NPI) New Product Introduction, commonly known as NPI, is a structured process that guides a product from its conception to its launch in the market. It is a crucial aspect of product development and management that ensures the successful introduction of new products or services […]
Introduction to Electronics Manufacturing Services Electronics manufacturing services (EMS) are a crucial part of the modern electronics industry. EMS providers offer a wide range of services to help companies design, manufacture, and distribute electronic products. These services can include everything from printed circuit board (PCB) assembly to product testing and […]
Understanding Printed Circuit Boards A printed circuit board is a thin board made of insulating materials, such as fiberglass or composite epoxy, with conductive pathways etched or printed onto its surface. These pathways, known as traces, connect the electronic components mounted on the board, allowing electrical signals to flow between […]

What is the Production-Prototype Gap? The production-prototype gap refers to the differences in quality, performance, and manufacturability between a prototype version of a product and the final production version intended for end users. Prototypes are early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process. […]
