Pooling Conditions No Longer Met!

In principle any PCB order can be pooled with other orders. Basically there is only one condition that needs to be met: We have enough similar orders to join together into one larger production order. However, it does not simply end there for us, we also need to ensure that the technology of the orders […]

USB – programmer and debug adapter

One problem designers have always faced is the ability to program various microcontrollers especially when each runs and requires different software and interfaces to program them, meaning that you need to have various adaptors and software knowledge for each of them ….. Until now, a programming adapter was just an interface between the microcontroller and […]

The difference between Production and Prototype quality and how to bridge the gap?

Historically electronic designs have a clear evolution. A design is made and created on breadboard to check functionality and then a board layout is created and put to production. We have obviously made light year leaps since those days of single and 2 layer boards and now 4 and 6 layer boards are the norm […]

Pre-production approval

CAN I VERIFY THE PRODUCTION DATA BEFORE EUROCIRCUITS STARTS MANUFACTURING? Pre-production approval – a customer request for reassurance Not sure about your artwork or how our engineers will interpret it? Sometimes your data files may contain features that our automated PCB Visualizer process cannot recognise. Or you may be worried that your first layout is […]

The logic behind our new PCB Calculator

New web site, new PCB services => new prices. Prior to the launch of our new website, we took the opportunity to review every aspect of our pricing structure to make sure that we were providing the best overall deal for our customers. Let’s look at the major changes. 1. Board size. To offer good […]

Large boards and pooling

Large boards and pooling – new guidelines Over the last 12 months we have received an increasing number of boards in our pooling services at the maximum size allowed 425 x 425 mm. These are not genuine single circuits but panels made up of many smaller circuits. To get around our specified maximum panel size […]

Plating Simulation – our New Tool for PCB Designers

A simulation of the galvanic copper deposition in PCB manufacturing Before we manufacture a PCB, we carefully analyse the data we receive to catch any potential production issues which may affect the quality and the long-term reliability of the finished product. Any issues we find are reported back to the customer for discussion and resolution. […]
