Every PCB design is a delicate balance between functionality and price. When it comes to PCB fabrication, the general rule of thumb is the smaller anything is, the more it costs to produce.
On this week's episode we talk about something that at first glance might seem mundane, but is actually one of the most important steps and literally the foundation of pcb assembly: past printing. In fact, approximately 65% of all assembly defects come from this process. Chris breaks down all of the components that are a part of the often misunderstood process and provides some design tips on how to make it go smoother.
This week we are joined by Dugan Karnazes, CEO of design firm Velocity Research and Nadim Conti, System & Electronic Designer at the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Collaboration Member at CERN to talk about about their involvement with the Open Source Ventilator (OSV) Project.
On this week's episode we talk about the pick and place assembly process - the process of placing parts onto circuit boards using automated machines.
One of our ongoing, core goals is to help you spend as little time in-between uploading a project and getting a quote. The most important part of automatically generating a quote is the BOM. Recently, we've made some improvements to simplify the BOM reconciliation process.
What can you, as a customer, do to help ensure that there are no shipping delays on your order? Here are some seemingly trivial but effective tips to avoid delays to your PCBA order.
Part 2 of our conversation with Brett and Magnus about parts and parts purchasing is now live. This week we’re talking about things we think customers should know about the process of purchasing parts and also the topic of parts consignments.
CircuitHub is a software based, full turn-key electronics manufacturing platform. We offer PCB assembly services, based in the US, while serving customers worldwide. Now you might ask — "There are many other US PCB manufacturers available. What sets CircuitHub apart?" The main difference between CircuitHub and other Contract Manufacturers (CMs) in the market is the technology behind CircuitHub that powers it. This article highlights some of the main factors differentiate us from other existing PCB manufacturing solutions.
As a hardware designer, your job is to develop PCBs on time, within budget, and they need to work! In this article, we’ll focus on designing boards with manufacturing-in-mind so your boards cost less to make, but work just the same.
This week we are joined by Brett and Magnus from Worthington to talk about parts and parts purchasing.
Disruptive industries such as the Internet of Things, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) are without a doubt changing the way we live. So what are some of the most exciting advancements in the world of electronics today? Let’s take a look!1. Flexible OLED displays
At CircuitHub we felt compelled to support projects that provide medical aid related to the pandemic. Most recently, we have been lending our help to Open Source Ventilator (OSV) — a team developing a simplified, low-cost, emergency-use ventilator to aid the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
