 1. Insufficient Width of High Power Traces When designing a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), one must consider the current that the traces will need to carry. If a PCB trace needs to house currents greater than 500mA, the minimum PCB trace width threshold may not be sufficient. This is because the trace width plays a crucial role in determining the amount of current it can safely carry without overheating. The location of the trace also matters. A trace located on an outer layer of the PCB can carry more current than an internal trace of the same thickness. This is due to the superior airflow and thermal dissipation of external traces. In other words, external traces can cool down faster because they are exposed to air, which helps dissipate the heat generated by the current flow. The width of the trace also depends on the amount of copper used for that layer. Copper is the primary conductor material used in PCBs, and its amount is measured in weight per square foot. Most PCB manufact...

  Classification of PCB Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the fundamental building blocks of electronic devices, providing a platform for interconnecting various electronic components. PCBs come in different types and classifications, each serving specific purposes based on their design, complexity, and intended applications. In this guide, we'll explore the classifications of PCBs, shedding light on the diverse types and their characteristics. Based on Number of Layers: PCBs can be categorized based on the number of layers they have, referring to the arrangement of copper and insulating layers within the board. Single-Layer PCBs: Single-layer PCBs have a single layer of conductive material (copper) on one side of the insulating substrate. They are primarily used in simple electronic devices and are cost-effective and easy to manufacture. Double-Layer PCBs: Double-layer PCBs have a conductive layer on both sides of the insulating substrate. The layers are connected through vias, en...

Introduction: Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the unsung heroes of modern technology, playing a pivotal role in nearly every electronic device we encounter daily. Whether it's your smartphone, laptop, microwave oven, or even the spaceship that took astronauts to the moon, PCBs are the hidden but essential components that make these gadgets work seamlessly. In this blog, we'll explore what PCBs are, how they work, and their significance in our tech-driven world. What is a PCB? A Printed Circuit Board, commonly referred to as a PCB, is a fundamental building block in electronics. It serves as a platform for connecting various electronic components to create functional circuits. A PCB is typically a flat, rigid board made from non-conductive materials like fiberglass, epoxy, or phenolic resin, with a thin layer of conductive material, usually copper, laminated onto one or both sides. The copper is etched to create intricate pathways or "traces" that interconnect electr...
