Tools and tips for good copper distribution Evenly distributed copper across layers, and choosing symmetrical buildups (stackups), are two important ways for avoiding PCB manufacturing quality issues, and problems during component assembly. We explain below why that is. Copper thickness and planarity (within tolerances) are two important PCB quality criteria. When copper is unevenly distributed […]
Layer sequence is one of the most important parameters in PCB design. Signal, power and reference layers must be in the correct sequence to achieve the optimum of electrical properties and manufacturing costs. Copper thicknesses as well as the characteristics and thicknesses of the Insulation material used (prepreg, FR4 etc) will have a direct effect […]
As with previous years, we’re excited to share our plans for the new year with our community right after Looking Back on the past year. In 2022, we are working on three major projects that will make our services faster and more flexible so that we can support your projects even better. The first major […]
Perhaps you have asked yourself: Why are printed circuit boards green? We have the answer. Is there something you’ve always wanted to know? Or do you know an interesting story about PCBs that we could share with our community? Then write to us! Enjoy reading. Why are PCBs Green? The most commonly used base material […]
Dear customer, As you may well be aware, in the early hours of Wednesday 27th October 2021, we had a fire in a part of our PCB production facility in Eger, Hungary. It was a black time for Eurocircuits, quite literally. Our courageous staff tried to extinguish the fire but to no avail. Fortunately the […]
On the 27 October @ 00H45, a week ago, was a black time for Eurocircuits, quite literally. A fire hit the pan of the Hot Air Level machine in one of the buildings at our Hungarian factory. The flames quickly went through the roof with the entire HAL department in flames taking with it the […]
The shortage of materials has worsened further; there is no relaxation in sight. That’s why the everyday heroes are our purchasing staff. For weeks, our team has been giving its all to bring in the electronic components so that we can deliver your PCB assemblies as quickly as possible. We explain the unprecedented situation on […]
At Eurocircuits the summer holidays are over. Our team is complete again and, if you like, we are there for you via live chat! With a full team, we are once again doing what we have enjoyed doing for 30 years: manufacturing and now assembling prototypes and small series PCBs right the first time and […]
Electronic components are increasingly difficult or even sometimes impossible to source. The only way to help overcome this situation is to use our Parts Reservation service. See our article below. Even with these challenges our production will continue throughout the summer and our customer support team will be available and ready to help when you […]
Just to let you know we are open all summer long to manufacture and assemble your Prototype and Small Series PCB’s ready for when you return from your summer break. Our online 24/7 ordering makes it fast & easy to order your PCBs. Our standard lead times for bare board Prototypes & Small Series are: […]
Because our heart beats for the European electronics industry, we are involved in Working Groups, the Promotion of Young Talents and are actively involved in Electronics Community Events. It is very important for us that we share our knowledge and use it to support you. In this newsletter, we have also compiled tips and tools […]
In May 1991, our two managing partners Luc Smets and Dirk Stans founded their company for PCB production. The business concept was to provide electronic developers in Europe quickly, cost-effectively and reliably access to PCB manufacturing. Today we produce more than 110,000 orders per year for over 12,000 customers for both bare board and assembled […]
