Additive PCB Manufacturing vs. Conventional Processes for PCB Prototyping
Most manufacturers still maintain their conventional processes for making PCBs, or Printed Circuit Boards. However, this scenario is now changing. Many are upgrading their fabrication techniques for making PCBs, moving towards additive manufacturing, as they see the advantages. We, at PCB Trace Technologies Inc., a prominent high-quality PCB manufacturer, bring you this article to illustrate […]
Learn MoreReliability and Testing Strategies for Mission-Critical PCB Applications
Testing PCBs for reliability is an extensive procedure involving multiple tests. PCB manufacturers use reliability testing to identify design flaws, making it an essential process before they can offer their circuit boards to their customers. Here, at PCB Trace Technologies Inc., we offer an overview of reliability and testing strategies for mission-critical PCB applications, the […]
Learn MoreHDI Routing Strategies for PCBs
HDI or High-Density Interconnect printed circuit boards need to achieve highly dense designs without compromising the functionality of the circuit. For this, designers must use the latest design strategies and manufacturing technologies. One of the techniques they use is HDI routing, which involves using multiple routing layers, smaller vias and pads, narrower traces, and thinner […]
Learn MoreOptimum Via Size For Your PCBs
PCBs or Printed Circuit Boards use various types of vias—through types, tented vias, blind vias, buried vias, stacked vias, staggered vias, and via in pad. Most designers know that the via type they use affects its size. In this article, PCB Trace Technologies Inc. discusses the restrictions typically present on PCB via size and the […]
Learn MoreAll About Irregularly Shaped PCBs
Most PCB designers have designed their boards in mostly rectangular or square shapes. However, when the enclosure is in an irregular shape, they have two choices—to continue with a rectangular/square shape that is considerably smaller than the enclosure or to design irregularly shaped PCBs that closely match the enclosure shape. In the first case, the […]
