We looooooooove bloopers and this one is fun! Have you watched Trace Talks EP 5 with Seth Hillbrand about #KiCad yet? https://lnkd.in/gtCMg2eS
We had fun recording the Trace Talks EP 5 with Seth Hillbrand! So yes, I've made the executive decision to release our first podcast #blooper in which my dear boss Amit Bahl demonstrates his acting skills. Spielberg won't cast him, though... https://lnkd.in/gf8AswW3 #tracetalks #techpodcast #podcast #pcb #kicad
To plate or not to plate, that is the question. ?? Mark is asking: "When designing PCBs with mounting holes for screws, there’s often debate about whether the holes should be plated or unplated. Plated holes are generally believed to offer better mechanical support for screws, reducing the risk of PCB damage during assembly or prolonged use. However, it’s worth noting that many commonly used PCBs, such as the Arduino UNO, feature unplated mounting holes. This raises the question of whether plating is always necessary or if it depends on specific use cases or cost considerations." Post your answer on our forum: https://lnkd.in/gWCw4mJE
A well-designed #PCB stack-up is essential for maintaining signal and structural integrity in #RF boards. By implementing a hybrid stack-up, you can optimize the functionalities and cost of your radio-frequency boards. From selecting the right materials to ensuring effective layer configuration, these guidelines provide a roadmap for minimizing #signal loss and achieving superior performance in #radiofrequency applications.

Can you save costs if you eliminate vias? Here's the question this engineer is asking: "I’m designing a simple two-layer PCB (35mm x 25mm) and can potentially complete the layout without any vias. I’m curious to know if eliminating vias from my PCB design can potentially provide some cost savings. Is it worth the effort to design the board without vias, or are the potential savings worth it?" Know the answer? https://lnkd.in/g9jwRy6h #pcbmanufacturing #pcbdesign #pcb #electronics
Adhering to #DFM rules is critical for ensuring the reliability and manufacturability of #RF PCBs. The tips outlined in the infographic provide key guidelines to optimize your RF designs. 1. Ensure the selected material is readily available and compatible with your fab house. Each #PCB fabricator may have a preferred set of materials, so coordinating with your manufacturer early in the design phase can avoid sourcing issues. Additionally, board houses have different equipment and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Understand your manufacturer’s capabilities before finalizing your design to avoid board respins.
