What do we do before PCB fabrication?

We begin choose PCB manufacturer after a PCB be finished layout. What jobs do we need to do before we choose the factory? 1. Outputs gerber file and drilling file Some engineer designed the PCB files and sent them to the PCB board factory directly. The PCB board factory has to transform the Gerber files…

Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy

Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy Columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, wolframite and gold, or their derivatives, including tantalum, tin, and tungsten, originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries are sometimes mined and sold by armed groups to finance unfair labor practices or human rights violations. Some of these minerals and/or derivatives can make…

Why use ceramics materials for PCB boards?

Ceramic circuit boards are actually made of electronic ceramic materials and can be made into various shapes.Among them, the ceramic circuit board has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and high electrical insulation performance, and has the advantages of low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, high thermal conductivity, good chemical stability, and similar thermal expansion…

High Frequency Circuit Board Design Interference Solution

In the design of the circuit board, with the rapid increase of frequency, there will be many interferences different from the design of the low frequency PCB. As the frequency increases and the contradiction between the miniaturization and cost reduction of PCB boards becomes more and more prominent, these interferences are more and more complicated. In…

PCB Raw Material Cost Go Up Crazy

PCB raw materials will continue to increase in price in 2021 PCB raw materials include copper foil, fiberglass, resin and other related materials have been reported of price adjustments in Q1 of 2021.Recently, from CCL factory to PCB factory, we have received notices about product price increase.Even PCB industry has fired the first shot, pointing out that the…

What is PCB Ground Plane and Why it so important?

PCB-ground-layer_What is PCB Ground Plane and Why it so important

The PCB ground plane is akin to the foundation of a skyscraper, providing stability, structure, and a solid reference point for the entire circuit. It is the unobtrusive conductor that silently conducts return currents, guards against electronic interference, and maintains voltage reference levels. In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of PCB ground planes, exploring their significance, functions, and the pivotal role they play in modern electronics.
