Share your thoughts about PCB design. What type of PCBs do you design most often? What typically influences your decisions?

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...

Most of us learned to design circuits with schematics. But if you get to a certain level of complexity, schematics are a pain. Modern designers — especially for digital circuits — prefer to use some ...

In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

One of the PCB design community’s greatest talents is hiding in plain sight. Ask a room full of high school students what they want to be when they grow up and you'll hear doctor, lawyer, engineer, ...
