The PCB outline is one of the most basic elements in a design and still the most common DRC-related issue. The PCB outline appears geometrically complete and visually correct in the design tool. However, small inconsistencies such as gaps, overlaps, or conflicting segments may remain undetected by the CAM DRC/DFM checks and thus lead to […]
Complex designs with space-saving microvias do not have to be unacceptably expensive or complicated. Our new HDI pool service offers a smart and cost-effective solution for partial HDI PCBs – ideal for IoT and Industrial IoT devices. With staggered microvias (100 µm diameter) on two layers, our HDI pool allows you to route most of […]
Design rules to protect against costly errors in manufacturing Often, simple mistakes or lack of knowledge of the PCB manufacturing or PCB assembly process can lead to significant delays and additional costs. We explain some of the design rules and technical guidelines that will help avoid such delays and costly errors along with our 10 […]
This is how Eurocircuits achieves PCB Manufacturing and Assembly 100% in-house in Europe Eurocircuits provides a single source for bare board and assembled PCB prototypes and small series. Their free to use online tools provide instant pricing and virtual manufacturing of your design before you order. All PCBs are manufactured and assembled in-house and in […]
Electronics designers who define circuits where frequencies of several Gigahertz form the basis of their application are in a select group of specialists. These designers need PCBs built with special materials suitable for these frequencies as FR-4 is only suitable for frequencies in the Megahertz range. In recent years the need for this kind of […]
So many of the devices we use daily are connected via the internet (IoT) making our daily activities easier and with this comes the need for faster and faster connections (USB3, 5G, etc..). It has become the norm to connect to the internet whether it is to control your central heating, manage your security or […]
Introducing Eurocircuits New Parts Pre-Order Service The Parts Pre-Order (PPO) service allows you to order parts in advance for upcoming projects to ensure they are in-house and available when you place an order with Eurocircuits. The ongoing world-wide shortage of component parts has created 2 issues, parts that are not available anymore and longer lead […]
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 […]
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 […]
Pressing the button to submit a board for manufacture is a major event in the life of a PCB designer; it’s the culmination of days or months or years of work. After submitting the board we can relax… but inevitably the anxious feeling of having done something wrong creeps in. Many of us have experienced, […]
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 late 2017 we launched our in house service for PCB Prototypes and small series since then it has grown substantially each year and has become a major part of our business. But there is a World-wide problem! What is the Problem? Since the beginning of 2020 there has been a growing shortage of electronic […]
