A Visual Guide to Designing Better Circuit Boards
Introduction Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design is both an art and a science. A well-designed board ensures reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, while a poor PCB design can lead to signal interference, overheating, or manufacturing failures. This guide walks through some critical design considerations with visual examples to help you avoid common pitfalls. 1. Poor Component […]
How PCB Design Impacts SMT Assembly
Introduction Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has revolutionized electronics manufacturing, enabling smaller, faster, and more efficient PCB assemblies. However, poor PCB design can lead to costly SMT assembly issues, including misaligned components, solder defects, and reduced reliability. This blog explores how PCB design decisions affect SMT assembly and provides best practices to optimize manufacturability. 1. Component […]
