Here’s a look at what the design rules and PCB layout constraints can do for your design and how best to use them to optimize assembly.

Fortunately, tombstoning can be prevented with good design for manufacturing (DFM) practices. Here are some ideas on how you can keep your small passive components from becoming a victim of tombstoning during PCB assembly.

The hole sizes assigned to a PCB will have tolerances attached to them to allow for variations in the lead size of the components to be inserted, as well as for the different conditions the PCB will encounter during manufacturing. Here are some of those factors to consider as you assign PCB hole size tolerances to your next project.

It is tempting to try to squeeze together your PCB pad-to-pad spacing, but that can lead to some serious manufacturing problems down the road.

In the final episode of the four-part series, “Engineering Big Ideas,” presented by Mouser Electronics, Grant Imahara explores how VSE’s low-volume, high-mix manufacturing enables engineering innovators to get their products to market quicker and with greater efficiency.

Here are some considerations you should be aware of when working with a contract manufacturer to have a wire harness and cable assembly built.
