This tutorial takes a 1mm through-hole and a 1.6mm pad as an example.Step 1: Find Padstack Editor and then click.Step 2: Select Thru Pin on Start interface.Step 3: Switch to Drill interface and fill o...
In typical scenarios, resistors and capacitors on a PCB are directly soldered onto the board surface. However, the embedded resistor and embedded capacitor process involve embedding resistors and capa...
Different from functional pads to establish electrical connections, non-functional pads are not connected to a trace on the layer they are on. They are typically used on inner layers of PCBs and are n...
This tutorial takes GA0603Y103KXBAC31G from Vishay as an example.Step 1: Open the GA0603Y103KXBAC31G data sheet for the package specifications of this device.From the data sheet above, it is obtained ...
When designing a PCB, sometimes we need to replace the package of a certain component in the PCB in batches, such as replacing all 0805 resistors with 0603 resistors. At this time, the operation in th...
What is Zero-ohm Resistor?A zero-ohm resistor, also known as a jumper resistor, is a specialized resistor with a nominal resistance value of zero ohms. It is commonly used in PCB design and other appl...
PCBWay has always been committed to providing better services to customers. Two years ago, we offered a free upgrade for PCB substrates, which received widespread acclaim. Currently, the default subst...
Fritzing is a low-barrier-to-entry electronic design automation software for the needs of manufacturers and hobbyists.At PCBWay, we recommend our customers provide Gerber in RS-274X format for manufac...
In power electronics, engineers sometime would like to reject part of the specified wave while allowing part of it to pass. This action requires the design of a special circuit known as a clipper circ...
Vias are the essential component of a multi-layered PCB. From a design perspective, a via consists of two main parts: the drill hole in the center and the pad area surrounding the hole, and the sizes ...

Metal core PCBs, also known as MCPCBs, incorporate a thermally conductive metal core, such as aluminum, copper, or stainless steel, instead of FR4. This metal core acts as a heat sink, efficiently con...
As printed circuit boards continue to shrink in size, the surface area available for wires and components is becoming more and more limited. In this case, cavity PCB becomes an effective solution.What...
High-Speed PCB DesignThe importance of PCB design for high-speed circuit boards is becoming more apparent as the demand for electronic devices that are faster and more complicated increases. High-spee...
When Bell, who invented the telephone, studied the sound, he defined the scale of the sound as bel. When the intensity of a sound increases tenfold, the increase in loudness is termed 1 bel. It is use...
IntroductionVarious electrical components are used to achieve various roles in a printed circuit board. Therefore, a good PCB designer should have a complete understanding of such components and what ...
Generate GerberSelect the menu bar, click on "Tools" -> "CAD/CAM" -> "Export Gerber", as shown in the following figure.Figure 1. Export Gerber Menu Bar OptionAfter clicking, a new interface will...
As parts of the passive components, resistors are components that are designed to impede or restrict the flow of electric current. Resistors are non-polar components, meaning they do not have polarity...
PCBWay will add the Product No. on PCB to distinguish your PCB from others. The position where the Product No. is added is not fixed, we will try to put it under the IC so that the number wi...
