This is the continuation of a series where I create a PCB in every software suite imaginable. Last week, I took a look at KiCad, made the schematic representation for a component, and made a schematic ...

For the next post in the Creating A PCB series, we’re going to continue our explorations of Eagle. In Part 1, I went over how to create a part from scratch in Eagle. In Part 2, we used this part to ...

A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a ...

A significant challenge in power supply design is creation of the PCB layout. Until today, design engineers relied on application notes, manual copying of reference layouts and their own judgment to ...

PCB design can now be done on a smartphone or tablet. Zuken has launched a PCB design app that allows designers to access and change layouts using their own tablet or smartphone. The CADSTAR Touch App ...

The quality of the soldering has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of the PCB. Through soldering, different parts of the PCB are connected to other electrical components to make a PCB ...

Having spent years on and off trying to make a pcb using a cnc machine without breaking tool after tool, there was a minor triumph over the weekend (right). The test pcb is still not ‘right’ as an ...

The concept-to-market cycle of a product in the electronics space is often quite lengthy. Even with the rapid rate of innovation and technological advancements we’ve seen over the past decade, that ...

Alia Zafar, the PCB's first-ever female director, believes her presence in the male-dominated board will provide a sense of empowerment to women cricketers in the country. Her inclusion, she says, ...
