One of the first decisions involved in laying out a printed circuit board (PCB) is choosing the type and style of components to be used. This decision is mainly driven by the PCB’s electrical ...

Modern electronic devices are becoming more compact while delivering greater speed and performance. From 5G communication systems ...

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

Modern electronic products depend on dense PCB layouts, high-speed signals, wireless communication, and compact power systems ...

As computers have gotten smaller and less expensive over the years, so have their components. While many of us got our start in the age of through-hole PCBs, this size reduction has led to more and ...

Should folks building small numbers of circuit boards use surface-mount parts, or should they stick with through-hole components that are so much easier to handle and solder (not to mention see)?

The new PCB connectors from Phoenix Contact are aimed at two-piece electronics housings. The 1.5 CLIP PCB connectors boast standard latching geometry, so these compact connectors with 5.0- mm pitch ...

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) aren’t much different than rigid boards during the design phase, except that the designer must account for the mechanical complexity associated with flex ...
