Ceramic PCBs: All You Need to Know

The surface of PCBs is constructed of many types of substances. The most common types are FR-4 glass epoxy, a substrate made with fiberglass, and aluminum. However, a third option is available that should not be overlooked: ceramic. Using ceramic as a base for PCBs is...

Explaining Prepreg and Core in PCB

Many things go into constructing a printed circuit board (PCB). Without components, copper traces, or heat sinks, we could not build or run a circuit board how we want within a device. But regardless of what exists on a board, one thing it can’t do without is the...

What Is Via Tenting and Why Does It Matter In PCB Construction?

Vias are an important aspect of PCB assembly and design. Essentially, they are specially created holes lined with a conductive material and act as bridges between the layers of a board. Vias are used to bridge gaps when a board requires multiple layers, whether to...
