Choosing the right PCB components can make or break your design, affecting performance, cost, and manufacturability. Experts recommend starting with system requirements before diving into catalogs.

The complexity and density of electronics design has increased, partly due to the rise of the mobile industry, introducing new challenges for printed-circuit board (PCB) designers. Embedding ...

Continued pressure for electronic devices that provide greater functionality in ever-smaller form-factors is not only providing the driving force behind developing smaller surface-mount components and ...

Samtec has created a line of RF connectors that mount to the edge of PCB by bolting rather than soldering. They measure only 9.5mm from side-to-side where they sit on the PCB and are under 8mm from ...

In recent months, the ability to hide components inside a circuit board has become an item of interest. We could trace this to the burgeoning badgelife movement, where engineers create beautiful works ...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altium, the global leader in PCB design software, is partnering with IHS Markit Electronic Parts Solutions to solve one of the major challenges in PCB design. When ...

GCT’s new edge mount USB Type-C Plug, the USB4155, has been developed to provide design engineers with greater options for docking solutions and plug-in external dongle devices. The USB4155 is ...

The connection between mechanical and electrical concepts How to fit many components into a limited space. Proper communication is necessary when creating products in a team with diverse backgrounds.

Like all new technologies, it took a while for engineers to accept and promote the PCB. In the 1960s, Zeneth used to brag about using point-to-point wiring (Figure 1). Now everything is done with a ...
