High-Speed PCB Manufacturer

Working with high-speed PCB designs can add an extra layer (no pun intended) of complexity to your board. Foolproof techniques at low speeds can become unreliable with faster rise/fall times inherent to digital systems. However, these problems are not insurmountable: an experienced high-speed PCB manufacturer can navigate potential issues at the board level and throughout…

PCB Manufacturers in the USA: 2024 Analysis

The global landscape of PCB manufacturing is changing. With tariffs increasing the cost of doing business overseas (and in general with more expensive materials), now is a good time for designers to review their options for optimal budget expenditures. Let’s review the state of PCB manufacturers in the USA for 2024. PCB Manufacturers in the…

Top Electronic Contract Manufacturers in the USA

Choosing which PCB manufacturer to partner with on production is the first step to realizing an electronic device. There are many aspects to weigh for manufacturing; most often, cost will be top-of-mind. However, manufacturing in the USA has significant benefits compared to overseas manufacturing: quality/build repeatability is higher, specific certifications (e.g., ITAR) are US exclusive…

PCB Design Stackup Considerations

Going from a design to a finished board is a complex process. Even with the sophistication of modern simulation tools, actual and expected performance can differ sharply. It’s essential not only for a board’s contents (i.e., components and circuitry) but also for its spatial orientation and material properties. While designers could safely omit the contributions…

High-Frequency PCB Manufacturer

Over the past decades, the demand for faster computing and higher data throughput has increased signal speeds by magnitudes. Unfortunately, faster speeds reveal performance issues with design, materials, and manufacturing that are trivial at relatively slower speeds. High-frequency PCB manufacturers can use several methods to navigate these issues while optimizing cost and performance. At VSE,…
