Contrary to what many may believe, designing a printed circuit board is not a one-man job. Communication with many stakeholders is a critical part of the design process and an important responsibility of the EE/PCB Designer. With the role of electrical engineers quickly evolving, it is important to note successful PCB design is not done in a vacuum. A PCB design will only materialize successfully by a commitment from the EE to reach out and gather information from the PCB industry stakeholders listed below. Each stakeholder will be contributing their part to manufacturing the design and ensuring its overall success.

Maintenance engineering for PCB design is a process that can be begun within the design phases with smart component consideration and layout.

When considering a PCB cost breakdown, you can certainly accommodate your design around a price point with tolerances and strong supplier communication.

With multi-board etching, it is important you consider what may affect the conductivity of your board and its thermal management properties.

To properly manage 4-layer PCB blind vias, you’ll need to know what manufacturing and production you’ll be able to count on and how to manage a stackup.

The growth of rapid prototyping encourages many new potential electronic innovations to be produced much faster.

Performing stress test analysis on schematic should not be an option, but a major part of your PCB development. Read this blog to see how it ensures board reliability.

There are a lot of steps involved in the design and manufacturing of a printed circuit board. Here we will describe these basic steps to outline the process.

There are different ways to configure a PCB 6-layer board stackup, and you need to know which configuration will best serve the signal needs of your design.

Knowing what goes into the multilayer PCB fabrication process will help you to design a better PCB layout. Here is a brief explanation of what is going on.

Ever wonder what do reliability engineers do? In this blog, we explain exactly what they do and why should be glad that they do it.

Building a Printed Circuit Board that works as intended is only has hard as you make it as a designer. The truth is that the layout can be a source of success or failure.

If you’re wanting PCB layers explained, you’ll need to hear all about multilayer boards, signals, and PCB stackup instructions.

For a through hole soldering process, knowing through hole components and how to desolder or solder can come in handy in your PCB design.

While you may not need to know the chemistry behind environmental PCB etchant, designing for it can provide unique power sourcing and reliability challenges.

The best board design is not optimized unless it incorporates principles of PCB manufacturing. To understand why this is true, read this blog.

To finish your printed circuit board design correctly and on time, you need powerful design tools to help you create precise fabrication and assembly drawings.

Through reverse engineering of mechanical parts, even component failure of obsolete parts can be resolved with thorough problem solving process.

EPEAT Certification is a practice for sustainable electronics manufacturing which can be instituted during your PCB design.

Fiducial marker placement can make clear placement annotations in schematic and layout designs of your circuits.

Manufacturability of HDI boards will want more carefully arranged documentation to ensure accuracy in manufacturing as well as proper layer stackup management.
