How do engineers come up with PCB design and what are the parameters they need to consider apart from a client requirement? Among various factors, a good software with the required features goes a long way in making the right PCB design. There are many free software available in the market. There are also paid ones, which come with specific features. So, the designer has choice; but it should be chosen carefully as every electronic design automation software may not be suitable for your requirement. This post discusses the PCB design software features one should consider to make the right PCB design and layout.

Today, electronic contract manufacturers understand that to gain competence, they need to introduce new products in the market at faster rates than others. With increasing complexity in designs, sometimes the time-to-market capabilities take a back seat for electronic contract manufacturers. However, a carefully planned execution of steps right from conceptualization to delivery can help them ease the complexities associated with New Product Introduction (NPI). This post discusses the best practices of NPI and its advantages.

Although PCB manufacturers have already started investing in production processes and manufacturing systems that assure them quality products, there are several challenges to be addressed. What are the top challenges faced by PCB manufacturers eyeing 5G applications? What are the different 5G ready technologies utilized by these manufacturers to overcome these challenges?

If you are a PCB designer who is working on a high-speed PCBA project for the very first time, then you need to be aware of the design techniques as listed in this post.

Price, quality, delivery time and service, these are the four primary things the customers check in their PCB assembly manufacturers. Amongst all these criteria, the most important thing the customers usually concern about is “how much the PCB assembly project will cost”. Although most of the manufacturers claim that they guarantee unfailing products, quick turn delivery, unsurpassed service, the customer makes a final call based on the price they quote.

According to several studies, the PCBs in the boards largely contribute to the release of toxic substances to the environments such as mercury, cadmium and lead, among others. Considering this, todays’ PCB manufacturers strive to assemble and manufacture boards that are biodegradable. How are these biodegradable PCBs made and how would they contribute to environmental sustainability? Read on the post to know more!
