ExpressPCB Now Offers Electrical Test Option for PCB Orders
December 4, 2018 | ExpressPCBEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
ExpressPCB has announced the addition of Electrical Test as an option for PCB customers in our latest versions of both ExpressPCB Classic and Plus.
As project timelines shorten, and design parameters get tighter, the additional validation created by electrical test can keep you on your timeline and on budget.
“Our customers have asked for the option to add Electrical Test, and we are happy to now provide the peace of mind that your boards will match the design files as submitted. This allows a seamless flow of the PCBs straight to assembly, further streamlining your time from design to finished product,” said Michael Hebda, ExpressPCB product manager.
ExpressPCB continues to add features and services that allow design engineers to be as efficient as possible. We help bring your ideas to life with free CAD Software, coupled with the highest quality, lowest manufacturing costs possible. Time is money, and reducing design cycles and validation time can have a huge impact on your project.

Elementary Mr. Watson: Ensuring a Smooth Handoff From PCB Design to Fabrication
03/13/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonAt the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, the U.S. men's 4x100-meter relay team had high hopes of winning a medal. The team comprised some of the fastest sprinters in the world, but something went wrong. In a relay, four runners must smoothly pass their baton to the next runner inside a zone on the track. If a runner drops the baton or it’s passed outside the zone, the team risks disqualification. The U.S. team’s pass between the second and third runner was messy, slowing them down. By the time the last runner received the baton, the team had lost too much time. They finished sixth in their heat and didn’t qualify for the final.

TI Introduces the World's Smallest MCU, Enabling Innovation in the Tiniest of Applications
03/12/2025 | PRNewswireTexas Instruments (TI) introduced the world's smallest MCU, expanding its comprehensive Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MSPM0 MCU portfolio. Measuring only 1.38mm2, about the size of a black pepper flake, the wafer chip-scale package (WCSP) for the MSPM0C1104 MCU enables designers to optimize board space in applications such as medical wearables and personal electronics, without compromising performance.
Speaking the Same Language as Your Fabricator
03/12/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineWe do indeed have a failure to communicate; designers and fabricators often seem to be talking past each other, which can lead to jobs being put on hold. We asked Jen Kolar, VP of engineering for Monsoon Solutions, and columnist Kelly Dack to share their thoughts on ways that we can break down the communication barrier between design and fabrication. As they point out, a design kickoff checklist and a solid review process can be invaluable tools in a designer’s toolbox.
