This article is part of our High-Frequency PCB Fabrication Guide. In high-speed PCB fabrication, differential signaling requires both controlled impedance and matched propagation delay between pairs. Designs can meet single-ended 50-ohm targets while failing... by admin | Mar 10, 2026 | PCB Assembly
This article is part of our High-Frequency PCB Fabrication Guide. In high-frequency PCB fabrication and assembly, signal integrity does not end at layout release. Assembly becomes part of the transmission line. At multi-gigahertz frequencies, solder joint geometry,... by admin | Sep 15, 2025 | PCB Assembly, PCB Manufacturing
TL;DR: Pad cratering = tiny, subsurface cracks under copper pads. It’s hard to see and a major cause of “mystery” PCB assembly scrap. The fixes: pick pad-crater-resistant laminates, use the right pad/mask geometry, and minimize flex in handling, depanel, and ICT. On... by admin | Sep 3, 2025 | PCB Assembly, PCB Design
Stop Overpaying for PCB Assembly: Proven Tactics to Cut Cost Without Cutting Quality TL;DR If you're like most engineers, you're probably overpaying for PCB assembly by 20-40% right now. The good news? You can fix this today. PCB assembly cost depends on board... by admin | Aug 14, 2025 | PCB Assembly, PCB Design, PCB Manufacturing
TL;DR: If your PCB fiducials are poorly designed or placed, your pick-and-place accuracy will suffer. This guide explains the essentials of fiducial design so your assembly partners deliver consistent, high-quality results. Why Fiducials Matter Fiducials are the... by admin | Aug 8, 2024 | PCB Assembly, PCB Design, PCB Manufacturing
