There comes a time in every maker’s career where solderless breadboards won’t do, perfboard becomes annoying, and deadbug is impossible. The solution is to manufacture a PCB, but there’s a learning ...

As the world is becoming increasingly virtual and software is replacing hardware, electrical and electronics engineers are trying to ride the same bandwagon with their tool of choice, PCB (Printed ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, ...

It is getting so easy to order a finished printed circuit board that it is tough to justify building your own. But sometimes you really need a board right now. Or maybe you need a lot of fast ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Analog circuit design guidelines. Digital circuit design guidelines. Differences in the guidelines between the two. Several products in the electronics industry require both analog and digital printed ...

True 3-D interconnects and packaging. Rigid PCBs are inherently 2-D. Rigid-flex, however, allows you to fold, bend and twist your circuit board into complex 3-D shapes, conforming to irregularly ...

In PCB design, design for manufacturing (DfM) is all about correcting mistakes after reviewing a PCB layout. We then devise corrective actions to fix those mistakes and improve procedures to make ...

If the folks at ECM PCB Stator Technology have their say, applications for printed circuit board (PCB) stator motors will replace the bulky copper windings associated with electric motors. The ...
