Applications of flexible pcbs Flexible PCBs have some key advantages that make them suitable for certain applications: Size and Weight Flexible PCBs can be made very thin and lightweight, occupying less space and adding less weight than a rigid board. This makes them ideal for small, portable electronics. Dynamic Flexing […]

Introduction to PCBs A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board made of fiberglass or other rigid material used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive traces and pads. PCBs allow electrical components and circuits to be packed closely together without wires or cables between components. They […]

Introduction to PCBs A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board that connects electronic components without wires. PCBs provide mechanical support and electrical connections using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. PCBs are integral to electronics, enabling complex circuit designs in […]

Overview of eagle pcb Eagle (Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor) PCB is developed by Autodesk and has been available since 1988. It enables designers to easily transition their electronic schematics into physical pcb layouts ready for production. Some key features of Eagle include: Schematic capture and PCB layout editor Support […]

Current Flow The amount of current that will flow through a trace is the starting point for trace width calculations. Know Your Current Requirements What are the current demands of the various components and ICs on your board? Reference component datasheets What are peak vs nominal currents? Size for peak […]

A printed circuit board, or PCB, forms the foundation of electronic devices serving both as the structural base platform as well as the conductive pathway enabling components to communicate and function. Understanding what constitutes a PCB along with properties that classify their operational intentions proves vital knowledge for any electronics […]

In printed circuit board (PCB) procurement context, the term “turnkey” refers to an end-to-end comprehensive partnership spanning design, fabrication, component procurement, assembly, testing and delivery from a single vendor allowing the customer to receive full built and tested boards ready for integration or end application usage in a plug-and-play manner.
