PCBWay launches 7th electronics project design contest
Some people believe that the printed circuit board, or PCB, is one of the most important inventions – if not the most important invention – ever.
The man credited with the invention of the first PCB is Paul Eisler, who is said to have sold the rights for £1 – that’s one English pound – at the end of the 1930s.
Eisler did negotiate a minority stake in a company called Technograph through the sale, but if he had negotiated a single penny for every PCB sold, it probably would have generated more money for a single product in history.

PCBWay now offers designers the chance to print any color image on the PCB they design
Printed circuit boards are often overlooked by the very consumers they work so hard to serve, and that’s fine because they are not meant to stand out – in fact, they are usually hidden away inside the device somewhere. PCBs provide essential functionality to the device they are embedded into. Therefore, they tend to be whatever colors the PCB manufacturer offers.
And until now, the overwhelming majority of PCBs have been green in colour. That is because of the solder mask – almost every manufacturer uses the green standard solder mask.
The main reason is that green is thought to be be the most functional color: you can have white text on it and it will show up well, while still protecting the circuits underneath.

The world of electronics is moving so fast that the devices are connected in such a small and smart way that the PCB assembly is considered to play the most important role in innovation.
Now the question arises here as to how the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly has become the backbone in this regard.
In this context, PCB assembly offers a clear and visible base, thanks to which we enable them to integrate the components without any hindrance. This process is considered more for connecting circuits. [Read more…] about The Critical Role of PCB Assembly in Electronic Evolution
When you first start learning about PCBs and their manufacturing, things seem to be extremely complicated. At some point, you might think, “It’s not for me.”
But as soon as you keep learning, complexities start getting untangled quite easily. And today, we’ll untangle one of the biggest debates about PCB. [Read more…] about Understanding PCB Materials: A Comparison of FR4 and High-Frequency Materials
Gerber files are the standard format for PCB manufacturing. They contain all of the information needed to create a PCB, including the layout of the traces, vias, and pads.
Online Gerber file editors allow you to view and edit Gerber files without having to install any software on your computer.
This can be a convenient option if you need to make minor changes to a PCB layout or if you don’t have access to a computer with PCB design software installed. [Read more…] about How to use an online Gerber file editor to add or remove traces and vias

The process of manufacturing in-demand gadgets like phones and TVs follows several phases. In effect, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has to research and develop a design that meets current consumer needs.
Because of these current demands, most manufacturers build their products in-house or outsource related tasks. The latter has become a standard option for most OEMs as they focus on researching possible product improvements.
The subcontractors who handle these tasks do so in what’s referred to as electronic manufacturing services (EMS). Specialized engineering experts like Nortech Systems help OEMs attain their project goals.
The cost will depend on the complexity of the tasks and the current stage of product development. [Read more…] about 3 Capabilities of an Electronic Manufacturing Services Company
The PCB manufacturing industry is becoming complex daily with the shrinking size of components and circuits.
The high density of components, multiple layers, delicate and tiny parts, and small pitches demand precision and extra care in this industry.
As a result, despite being a technology-intensive industry, it is still labor intensive. [Read more…] about How Do Robots Widely Apply in PCB Manufacturing
