Manufacturing defects caused by PCB Design PCB Manufacturers can inspect to IPC-A-600G and assemble to IPC-A-610 however in order for your PCB design to pass, IPC standards should be implemented from the very beginning of the PCB design from padstacks and footprints through to manufacturing. Figure 1 – IPC Checklist for Producing Rigid Printed […]
Why Make A Prototype PCB? If you place an order for a large volume of PCBs, you need to eliminate any mistakes or errors in the design and manufacturing process, otherwise, you will have a lot of useless PCBs. Although by definition prototypes are much more costly to produce on a per unit basis, they […]
How Are PCBs Manufactured? Printed Circuit Boards are manufactured through a combination of photo imaging and etching processes. The process outlined below is a general overview of how PCBs are manufactured. When they are manufactured in high volumes these steps are carried out differently to increase efficiency and reliability but it should give you a […]
What is a PCB? A printed circuit board (PCB) is used in electronics to build electronic devices. A PCB serves two purposes in the construction of an electronic device; it is a place to mount the components and it provides the means of electrical connection between the components. In many modern devices the PCB forms […]
UK Or International PCB Prototyping – Which Is Best? Before printed circuit boards (PCBs) are manufactured in high volumes, engineers will typically create a prototype to check that their design works and performs efficiently. PCB prototyping allows an engineer to detect any errors or flaws at an early stage of development, saving time, money and sleepless nights in […]
Making Your First PCB Prototype Making your first PCB prototype is no easy task – but it’s incredibly rewarding once you’ve completed the final connection. You don’t have to have a degree in engineering or years of experience working as an electric engineer. All you really need is a clear set of guidelines, a small […]

Technology has a big part to play in shaping the planet, but we still need people like you to come up with world-saving ideas. Whether you are an electronics novice, a university student or a veteran […]
How Graphene Can Prevent Overheating At the start of autumn, it was reported that Samsung was on the cusp of announcing the world’s first mobile phone with a graphene-based alternative to the traditional lithium-ion batteries. Samsung wasn’t the only company exploring this material. Behind the scenes, each of the major mobile phone retailers are hard at work perfecting graphene components to be used in their products. […]
Why Choose Electric? Benefit In-Kind Explained The last few years have seen a remarkable rise in demand for, and mainstream adoption of, electric cars. Spearheaded by renowned automotive manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes and the increasing ubiquitous Tesla vehicles, it’s safe to assume that electric cars have sparked the imagination of consumers across the UK […]
