Copper Pouring in Copper-Free Areas: Why it Matters in PCB Design

Mar 4, 2025

In PCB design, unused spaces often appear due to trace routing, component placement, or multi-layer designs. Leaving these gaps empty might seem harmless, but it can lead to higher electromagnetic interference (EMI), weaker grounding, and power inefficiencies. Enter...

PCB Manufacturing Bottlenecks: Factors That Cause Slowdown

Feb 20, 2025

PCB production delays can derail your entire project timeline and blow your budget. When your manufacturer promises a two-week turnaround but takes six, you’re left scrambling to explain the setback to stakeholders and clients. Finding a reliable PCB...

Cracking the Code: Mil-Spec and Military Wiring Standards Explained

Feb 4, 2025

MIL-Spec, or military specification, sets strict standards for cables and wiring used in extreme conditions. These wires are built to handle intense heat, constant vibrations, and exposure to harsh chemicals. They’re critical for systems where reliability is...

Uncovering the Hazards of Using an Expired PCB

Jan 7, 2025

That batch of PCBs in your stockroom looks perfect. Your initial tests show no problems. But expired boards hide defects that testing can’t catch—defects that surface only after you’ve committed expensive components and engineering time. Whether...
