Tired of making countless wire jumpers on my perfboard prototypes, I decided to run an experiment to try to minimize manual ...

Usually when one thinks of using a CNC machine for producing PCBs, one thinks of those big, bulky CNC machines that pretty much fill an entire desk. But what if a CNC machine could be small enough to ...

What are single- and double-sided PCBs and how do they differ? What are the advantages of symmetrical and thin layer structures? How materials influence PCB selection. The choice of PCB design is an ...

I'm wrapping up my PCB fab review series back in China, with a look at board house ShenZhen2U. The base price for five or ten double-sided boards (only the shipping cost changes) is $11.90 (10 × 10cm ...

The method of printing PCBs has not changed for decades. In the early days of imaging circuit boards a substrate (copper laminate) was screen printed with a liquid etch resist; this was then oven ...

Multi-layered printed circuit boards (PCBs) are typically preferred because they offer high signal intensity. Of all the multi-layered types, the 2-layer PCB is the most common, as it can accommodate ...
