PCBs are sometimes coated with conformal coating to protect them in harsh operating conditions where humidity and contaminants, such as dust and metallic particles, can cause shorts in electronic components. Also, some conformal coatings are intended to provide...

Many different factors contribute to the success or failure of your PCB design. If you really want to increase the quality and robustness of your PCBs by designing better PCBs, you need to have the right knowledge and practice. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. That’s why...

Finding a PCB manufacturer could prove to be a time-consuming and risky task. A web search returns many search results with no easy way to compare the various PCB companies.  When choosing a PCB manufacturer, there are a number of factors to consider such as quality,...

PCB panelization is an essential part of PCB design. For this reason, designers need to consider its potential impact on the PCB assembly process and the PCB itself. PCB panelization is when smaller boards are placed in a connected array (panel) to make it easier to...

Signals travel along copper pathways on a PCB, and several PCB design factors play a role when propagating these signals. Overlooking any PCB design element can result in signal distortions. One of the pivoting attributes is the type  and quality of the Copper and its...

The PCB layout forms the foundation of a well-functioning, robustly designed PCB. Ignoring various PCB layout guidelines could result in added costs, underperforming PCBs, or even failed board. There are numerous layout tips and guidelines available; however, we have...

Camptech takes the risk out of ordering PCBs. Big on capabilities. Small in price. Exceptional quality.

Factors Affecting PCB Thickness In many instances, PCB thickness needs to be controlled tightly for optimum PCB performance. So, the combination of PCB core materials used is critical to functionality, and the thickness or type of each layer matters.A Printed Circuit...
