Don’t let electrostatic discharge (ESD) in electronic manufacturing come as a shock to your production – partner with an experienced contract manufacturer to improve device service life.

Does sustainable seem unattainable for your PCB design? See how a CM with experience in sustainable electronic manufacturing can guide production.

While searching for a PCB contract manufacturer to partner with for building your circuit boards, establishing a high level of communication and trust is tantamount to a successful final product. Whether a novice or experienced in design, some subtle layout choices can develop into major manufacturing problems further down the road if left unaddressed. To…

Preparing for aerospace PCB assembly requires a greater understanding of reliability and its impact on electronic devices. No one wants their electronic device to fail, but the cost and safety concerns of electronic failure with aerospace systems are unacceptable. Complicating this additional requirement is the greater range and extremes of environments that aerospace electronics must…

PCB design can quickly become complicated. When designers optimize thousands of component placements and routes, it’s easy to miss the forest for the trees. High-frequency PCB design (typically 1 GHz and up) introduces additional complications, as signal behavior changes dramatically and the transmission medium becomes more impactful to signal integrity. High-frequency PCB design guidelines help…

PCB layout can be challenging, but high-speed constraints and demands can transform challenging into demanding. Increasing signal speeds means standard design best practices must account for insignificant material characteristics at slower speeds. While some high-speed PCB design guidelines overlap with traditional layout methodology, designers must understand the differences and how they affect their layout strategy.…
