What is a PCB Transmission Line? In the world of printed circuit boards (PCBs), a transmission line refers to a conductive pathway designed to carry high-frequency signals with minimal loss and distortion. PCB transmission lines, or PCB-TransLine, play a crucial role in maintaining signal integrity and ensuring the proper functioning […]

Introduction to Selective Soldering Selective soldering is a process used in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs) where specific components are soldered onto the board without affecting the surrounding components. This technique is particularly useful when dealing with through-hole components that cannot withstand the high temperatures of a reflow […]

Introduction to PCB PTH Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are essential components in modern electronics, forming the backbone of countless devices we use every day. One crucial aspect of PCB fabrication is the Plated Through Hole (PTH) process, which enables reliable electrical connections between different layers of a multi-layer PCB. In […]

Introduction to Through-hole Assembly Through-hole assembly, also known as through-hole technology (THT), is a traditional method of assembling electronic components on a printed circuit board (PCB). This technique involves inserting the leads of components through drilled holes in the PCB and soldering them to pads on the opposite side. Despite […]

Introduction to Ultrasonic Cleaners An ultrasonic cleaner is a powerful tool that uses high-frequency sound waves to clean and restore various objects, including electronics and printed circuit boards (PCBs). The cleaning process involves submerging the item in a cleaning solution and subjecting it to ultrasonic vibrations, which create microscopic bubbles […]

Understanding PCB Stackups A PCB stackup refers to the arrangement of layers within a printed circuit board, including the copper layers, insulating layers, and other materials used in the construction of the board. The stackup plays a critical role in determining the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the PCB, […]

What is Controlled Impedance? Controlled impedance refers to the precise management of the impedance of a transmission line, such as a printed circuit board (PCB) trace or cable, to match the characteristic impedance of the system. Impedance is the measure of opposition to the flow of alternating current (AC) in […]

Introduction to Multi-Layer PCB Design Multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential for modern electronics that require high density interconnects and complex circuitry.
