One thing I’ve learned over the years is that decisions in our industry are rarely as straightforward as they seem.
On paper, it looks simple: a requirement is defined, suppliers propose solutions, and a decision is made. In reality, things are often more nuanced. Continue reading “Who Really Drives Decisions in the Electronics Supply Chain?”
Following my recent posts on PCB materials, I was reflecting on a question that is often overlooked during material selection:
👉 Is the best material really the one with the best technical performance? Continue reading “When Availability Becomes a Design Parameter: Rethinking PCB Material Selection”
In a multilayer PCB, copper foil is not only used to conduct electrical signals and power. It also plays a key role in the mechanical integrity of the PCB stack-up.
The characteristics of the copper surface directly influence the bonding between copper and resin during the lamination process. Continue reading “Why is it important to understand copper foil characteristics in PCB manufacturing?”
In industrial environments, the value of a solution is not only defined by its technical performance, but also by the supplier’s ability to build a long-term understanding of the customer’s operating environment. Continue reading “The value of a solution is not measured only by its technical performance”
In a multilayer PCB, prepregs (pre-impregnated materials) are composed of glass fiber impregnated with resin. They provide electrical insulation and bonding between the different circuit layers during the lamination process.
However, not all prepregs are the same. The balance between resin and glass fiber directly impacts PCB construction. Continue reading “Why is it important to identify prepregs in a PCB?”
One recurring challenge in PCB/PCBA industrial environments is the disconnect between design choices and manufacturing realities. Continue reading “Bridging design and manufacturing”
