How to Choose PCB Core Materials
When a printed circuit board (PCB) maker gets a quote request for a multilayer design and the material instructions are missing or not clear, picking the PCB core thickness becomes [...]
Essential Checklist for Selecting a Reliable PCBA Supplier
Choosing the right PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) supplier isn’t just another procurement task—it’s a strategic decision that can directly influence your product quality, manufacturing timelines, brand reputation, and overall [...]
PCB Basics 2 Vias – GREATPCB PCB and PCBA Manufacturer
—Common Classifications of Vias— Through-holes are connection holes between the top and bottom layers of a PCB , and these holes also provide interconnection between internal PCB layers. Blind vias are vias that connect the surface [...]
PCB Surface Treatment Plating Process
Introduction: PCB plating processes require careful attention . It 's more than just applying a random layer of coating . First, it protects copper wires from oxidation . Copper easily oxidizes in air, which can easily lead [...]
Common PCB Design DFM problems when you start the design
How can we design to maximize yield, reduce costs, and shorten delivery? DFM (Design for Manufacturability) pitfalls in PCB design are a major cause of yield decline, cost increases, and [...]
Silkscreen Design and Adjustment for PCB Assembly
For later component assembly and manual assembly, a PCB assembly drawing is made for component placement. Then the silkscreen reference designators are needed. Many new PCB designers adjust the silkscreen [...]
PCB Stackup: Structure Shapes EMC
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is an important measure. It shows if electronic devices work well in an electromagnetic environment and do not cause problems for other devices. In PCB design, not [...]
PCB Drilling: The Future of Laser vs. Mechanical Methods
hybrid In printed circuit board (PCB) making, drilling steps are a key part of both product function and production work. The trend toward smaller electronic devices shows more need for density [...]
