How are the inner layers of a multilayer PCB printed? PCBs can be single sided, double sided or multi-layered. Multi-layer PCBs are boards which have copper layers in the outside and inner portions.

Determining the exact physical location of a short circuit in a printed circuit board can be fiendishly difficult. The millivolt measurement method described can help A few weeks ago I was asked to ...

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...

Once a printed circuit board (PCB) has been assembled it’s rather hard to look inside of it, which can be problematic when you have e.g. a multilayer PCB of an (old) system that you really would like ...

Many readers are certainly familiar with the process for home-etching of PCBs: it’s considered very straightforward, if a little involved, today. This was not the case in my youth, when I first ...

Multi-layered printed circuit boards (PCBs) are typically preferred because they offer high signal intensity. Of all the multi-layered types, the 2-layer PCB is the most common, as it can accommodate ...
