PCB Design, Planning, and Components Selection in Printed Circuit Boards
Designing a printed circuit board or PCB can become challenging because there are many factors to consider, including environmental conditions the PCB will be exposed to and the desired electrical components that the PCB will use. The best design, planning, and component selection bring the best-printed circuit boards. All electronic products contain printed circuit boards so considering the above elements is essential that we will discuss these elements in this article. Questions Regarding PCB Planning? A few questions to keep in mind when designing and planning a PCB include: How many layers do I want? What thickness of copper foil/laminate do I ...
DFM Issues in PCB Design
You need a well-designed PCB for the effective functioning of the device, and you can have it by focusing on the DFM or Design for Manufacturing. Different requirements are there in terms of PCB design, management, and fabrication that you have to follow. At the same time, you should consider the timeline to have a circuit board within your budget. PCB and DFM Issues Having well-executed CAD tools is easy, but these tools cause certain DFM issues which need lots of effort to solve. Sometimes a PCB is correct in terms of electrical requirements, but it is hard to manufacture because you ...
High-Frequency PC Board Applications, Specifications, and Challenges
Some electronic products need special signals for which you have to make a high-frequency PC Board. Such a circuit board can provide 500 MHz to 2 GHz frequency that is ideal for microwaves, a radio frequency, and certain mobile applications that involve high-speed designs. Several electronic components and switches are complex and need to transfer signals at a fast speed which is provided by high-frequency PCBs. Such boards need special materials because ordinary materials can affect signal transmission due to a poor Er value. Designers have to consider certain factors while designing the high-frequency Printed Circuit Board [1] that we will ...
Why printed circuit board manufacturers use plated slots ?
Printed Circuit Board Plated Slots Slots are holes, which are either plated or non- plated-through. So, plated slots are holes plated in copper. And we use them for electrical connections on the PCB. A through slot is the one that goes to the entire depth of the board, starting from one end to another. Whereas a PCB outline or edge also has plating called side plating. printed circuit board manufacturers use plated slots for components packaging, however, non-plated slots are also in practice. But, PCB with multiple layers have only plated-through slots. Why Prefer Plated Slots? PCB assembly [1]involves different designs and components, ...
What is High TG In PC Board Fabrication?
The making of PCB involves different steps, technologies, and terms, and TG is one such term that refers to the Glass Transition Temperature. High TG PCB is the board made at a high temperature. We will discuss this topic in detail, including the TG value, features, applications, materials, parameters, and much more. What is High TG PCB? If a PCB’s temperature goes beyond a set TG value, its condition will change. Like, the solid board will turn rubbery, affecting a PCB’s function. Depending on where you use a PCB, the temperature of the application should be at least 10 to 20C less ...
