All 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 […]
Learn MoreChallenges of LED PCBs Design
PCBs or Printed Circuit Boards for LEDs or light-emitting diodes are different from other circuit board designs, as the boards must help dissipate the excess heat generated by the LEDs when they are in operation. Although LED PCBs are the foundation of LED lighting systems, one of the core problems in LED PCB design is […]
Learn MoreElectronic PCB Prototyping Versus Full-Spec Production
Eminent PCB or printed circuit board manufacturers such as PCB Trace Technologies Inc. offer two major types of services—one for PCB prototyping, and the other for full-spec production of PCBs. Here, we compare the two services and enumerate the requirements that the two services fulfil. What is PCB Prototyping? With the PCB prototyping service, the […]
Learn MoreAll About Paper Circuit Boards
A vast majority of PCBs or printed circuit boards that electronic equipment requires are typically made from FR4 or glass epoxy. Although many users are shifting to polyimide-based flex boards, PCB Trace Technologies Inc. finds the future of PCB design trending towards paper circuit boards. That may be because PCB substrates made of paper have […]
