The connection between mechanical and electrical concepts How to fit many components into a limited space. Proper communication is necessary when creating products in a team with diverse backgrounds.

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC.

This ebook by John Burkhert is a step-by-step guide on printed circuit board design with information suitable for beginners to graduate-level users. This series is for anyone who wants to design their ...

If people are asked what determines PCB trace temperature, the most common response would probably be current, or I 2 R power dissipation. While these answers are not necessarily wrong, they are ...

It is fairly common to have a hotter than desired component on a PCB. Often, the way to control the heat from such a component is to (a) create a copper pad underneath it as solid as possible, and ...

Getting your own PCBs made is a rite of passage for the hardware hacker. Oftentimes, it’s a proud moment, and many of us choose to immortalise the achievement with a self-aggrandizing credit on the ...

Why today’s high-speed, high-frequency designs have very little “wiggle room” within them relative to laminate properties. Why the end-product’s application and performance determine the most critical ...

If the folks at ECM PCB Stator Technology have their say, applications for printed circuit board (PCB) stator motors will replace the bulky copper windings associated with electric motors. The ...
