We are excited to announce that we’ve made significant improvements to our BOM file processing! Our latest enhancements will streamline the upload process further, increase accuracy, and save you valuable time.
We are excited to announce that CircuitHub now fully supports designs created with KiCad Version 8!
We think components from hobbyist sites from the likes of Seeed Studio, SparkFun, and AdaFruit are fantastic. They have some really unique and cool products that you can't always buy from normal distributor channels in the United States. However, we generally recommended that customers stick to using these types of parts for only hobbyist projects since they aren’t suited for a professional manufacturing environment.
Last month we published a guide to our recommended discrete component footprints (courtesy of our friends at Worthington). Continuing with that thread, we now also have recommended spacing for discrete components.
In this slightly random catchup episode Chris and Melissa discuss Chris' recent trip to California where he attended IPC APEX EXPO and hosted out first Pick, Place, Podcast meetup! Huge thanks to everyone who was able to come say hi, the wonderful conversations and show suggestions!
Placing discrete components literally 24/7 means we see a huge variety of footprint variations. Poorly designed footprints can cause components can cause “head-in-pillow” and “tombstone” defects, amongst other issues.
In this episode, we uncover the multifaceted persona of IPC President and CEO, Dr. John Mitchell, from his educational background to his Ironman pursuits.

Exciting news for all our podcast listeners! The Pick, Place, Podcast is thrilled to announce a special meetup event at the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO 2024.
Our prototyping factory floor is undergoing an epic transformation! In our quest to deliver ultra quick-turn, affordable, high-quality circuit boards, we're doubling our floor space to embark on an era of expansion.
The debate between washing and not washing PCBs post-assembly is a topic ripe with misconceptions. Adding to the complexity is the revolutionary role of no-clean flux, which has reshaped perceptions and practices within the industry. A deeper dive into instances where customers might mistakenly believe they need to wash their boards, despite it being unnecessary, can illuminate common pitfalls and help clarify best practices.
In this episode we're happy to welcome back Brett Babilonia, who we spoke to way back in episode 3 and 4 on the show. In addition to purchasing, Brett also handles a lot of quoting at Worthington. We often get asked how we quote boards, is there a magical formula, and figured Brett is the perfect person to speak on this topic.
