However, despite their familiarity, many engineers have only a partial understanding of pads. Today, let’s explore the types of pads and the design standards for … Read more
Many people have experienced making mistakes in PCB packaging—either making it too large or too small, or even having components obstructed, which leads to issues when soldering components after the PCB is manufactured, sometimes requiring manual wire connections; in severe cases, it may even result in the entire board being scrapped. For example, the U8 … Read more
Recently, a friend asked me if I knew any PCB design masters who take apprentices. I replied that I do, and asked if he wanted a recommendation. “Is there a fee?” he asked, which caught me a bit off guard. “Yes, the specific fee needs to be discussed with the master,” I answered. He countered, … Read more
