The rapid changes that have been occurring (and will continue to occur) in electronics systems are driving changes all the way throughout the supply chain for electronics components. This article will ...

Printed circuit boards can be square, round, octagonal, or whatever shape you desire. But there’s little choice when it comes to the third dimension: most PCBs are flat and rigid. Sure, you can make ...

Prices for upstream PCB materials including copper foil, glass cloth and resin are set to rally in 2021 as supply is expected to be increasingly short of demand throughout the year, according to ...

Is FR-4 the Best Board Material Choice for High Speed PCB Design? We’ve all been there at one time or another when we’re tasked with a project that lies outside our comfort zone. For me, that day came ...

Researchers at the University of Washington have made a big breakthrough, developing a PCB that is able to be recycled several times over while losing very little material in the process. This ...

The PCB industry is making large upgrades. The largest beneficiaries of the AI boom are IC substrate makers that are part of ...

Why today’s high-speed, high-frequency designs have very little “wiggle room” within them relative to laminate properties. Why the end-product’s application and performance determine the most critical ...

Electronic products must be reliable and durable, especially when they are designed to operate in harsh environments. Building printed circuit boards (PCBs) to work efficiently in extreme ...

This article is part of the TechXchange: PCB Tools and Technology. Many manufacturers still use the standard FR-4 material for their rigid boards because FR-4 materials are cost-efficient and highly ...

Researchers have developed a new PCB that performs on par with traditional materials and can be recycled repeatedly with negligible material loss. Researchers used a solvent that transforms a type of ...

We wonder if [Carl Bugeja] was looking at a 3D printer’s heated bed when he got the idea to create a PCB reflow heater using a PCB. He tried a quick test to heat up a standard PCB and made it ...
