What is Component Tombstoning? Component tombstoning, also known as “chip tombstoning” or “tombstone effect”, is a defect that can occur during the surface mount assembly process where a component lifts up at one end, resembling a tombstone. This defect prevents proper electrical connection and renders the entire circuit board unusable. […]

Introduction to PCB Thickness Printed Circuit Board (PCB) thickness is a crucial factor in the design and manufacturing of electronic devices. It plays a significant role in determining the mechanical strength, electrical performance, and thermal management of the board. In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the complex story […]

What is Gerber? Gerber is a generic term that refers to a family of file formats used to represent PCB designs. The original Gerber format, RS-274D, was a numerical control (NC) format used to control vector photoplotters for PCB production. Over time, the format evolved to include aperture information and […]

What are PCB Fiducials? Printed Circuit Board (PCB) fiducials are small circular copper pads or marks placed on blank areas of a PCB. They serve as reference points for automated assembly equipment to accurately place and orient surface mount components during the pick-and-place process. Fiducials help ensure proper alignment between […]

PCB Design Complexity The complexity of your PCB design is one of the primary factors influencing the cost of fabrication and assembly. More intricate designs require additional time, resources, and expertise to manufacture, resulting in higher costs. Some key aspects of PCB design complexity include: Number of Layers PCBs can […]
