Global PCB Connections: Following DFM Rules Leads to Better Boards
12/18/2024 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsAs a PCB field applications engineer, ensuring smooth communication between PCB designers and fabricators is one of my frequent challenges. A critical part of that dialogue is design for manufacturing (DFM). Many designers, even experienced ones, often misunderstand or overlook important DFM considerations. They may confuse design rules with manufacturing minimums, leading to technically feasible designs that are difficult or costly to produce. In this column, I will clarify some common DFM guidelines and help designers understand the difference between “design rules” and “minimums” while sharing best practices that will simplify the production process and ensure the highest quality PCB.
Global Sourcing Spotlight: Navigating the Variables of Holiday Schedules in Global Sourcing
12/10/2024 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightIn global sourcing, obvious factors often dominate the conversation: cost, quality, and logistics. However, often overlooked is the impact of local holidays and schedules, such as the Chinese New Year. The current holiday season in the Western world got me thinking about how worldwide holiday schedules can affect commerce and, specifically, global sourcing. These events can have a profound effect on your supply chain, leading to delays, increased costs, and even strained relationships with suppliers. Understanding and planning for these variables is not just best practice; it's necessary for anyone serious about global sourcing.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Pattern Plating
10/16/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we painted the picture of the outer layer imaging process. Now we are ready for pattern plating, where fabrication can get tricky. The board is now ready to receive the copper traces, pads, and other elements specified in the original CAD design. This article will lay out the pattern plating process and discuss constraints in the chemistries that must be properly managed to meet the customer's exacting manufacturing tolerances.
