Which board do you use to manufacture your PCBs: FR-4 or Megtron 6? FR-4 is the traditional material. It is used for standard and high-frequency circuit boards. FR-4 PCBs are more resistant to heat...
Flex circuits are becoming more popular among PCB designers and are the new go-to for circuit designs. Flex PCB manufacturers can offer a PCB that relies on a flexible substrate, making it bendable...
The placement of your components plays one of the most critical roles in creating a working board while designing an HDI PCB to run electrical signals. Placing components in the wrong place can mak...
Blind vias are used to increase the pad density and wiring of a high density interconnect circuit. Designers often combine blind vias with buried vias and microvias to implement their designs witho...
High density interconnect PCBs were first innovated in the 1980s when researchers investigated ways of reducing the size of vias. The first HDI PCB was commercially available in 1984 with the Hewle...
Megtron 6 are a well-known series of laminate materials for HDI PCB with extensive applications in the industry. They offer numerous benefits such as decreased signal losses and improved thermal re...
Flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) or Flex PCBs are widely used in various applications that require miniaturization, lighter weight, and higher packing density. Their use has grown steadily, ...
Designing or manufacturing a cable or flex PCB can be challenging, but with the help of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), things become more accessible. The job of the design engineer is to come up w...
When designing a PCB, the multilayer PCB stack-up is one of the most important decisions. It ultimately decides the route your electrical signals will take through the PCB and how fast those signal...
PCB manufacturers create various products with one goal: to make sure their boards are helpful, reliable, and work as designed. However, when working with PCB manufacturers, there are different cha...
When people thought technology had reached its peak, humans invented the circuit board. Circuit boards allowed electricity use in devices and have been a part of all scientific research and technol...
In the electronics industry, PCBs have been the de-facto medium for avionics and sensor development for a long time. Multilayer PCB stackup has been used extensively for connectors, accessing compo...
