Where to Use Copper Thieving?
At PCB Trace Technologies Inc, we use two techniques during PCB manufacturing—copper balancing and copper thieving—to achieve the high quality and reliability of our boards. Both are crucial processes but with different purposes. Copper distribution is an important factor related to manufacturing, and copper balancing, along with copper thieving, helps achieve an even distribution of […]
Learn MoreImpact of Global Chip Shortage on PCB Production
The global electronic industry has been facing an acute shortage of electronic components, specifically of some categories of semiconductors and chips. This includes the intricate realm of PCB or Printed Circuit Board production. In this article, we, at PCB Trace Technologies Inc., delve into a detailed exploration of strategies for mitigating the disruptive impact of […]
Learn MoreAll About ELIC PCB Manufacturing
IPC-2226 standards have many standard PCB stackups under them that support HDI PCB routing. These allow routing traces for fine-pitch components like BGA. Most standard HDI PCB stackups use buried and through-hole vias that pass through all layers. They may also use blind/buried microvias along with skip-vias on their surface layers. This allows BGA breakouts […]
Learn MoreUnderstanding HDI Stackups
HDI or High-Density Interconnect technology has brought about a revolution in the PCB or Printed Circuit Board industry. It allows designers to create highly complex boards in smaller sizes but with improved performance. With the form factor of electronic devices reducing continuously, and greater functionality expected out of them, the significance of HDI PCBs is […]
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 […]
