Words of Advice: Fabricator Feedback?
January 17, 2019 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
In a recent Design007 Survey, we asked the following question: What is the most important feedback that you receive after your board is manufactured? Here are just a few of the answers, edited slightly for clarity.
Karl Bates, ConnectPCB: Clearance is less than I expect, copper balance, and thieving.
Chand Basha M, Anora Semiconductor: We could not plate the board to required plating thickness. We had to reduce few pad sizes to adjust the fabrication process. A few mechanicals in the design are altered slightly due to capability issues.
Jim Pierce, Axiom Electronics: Impedance specifications, testing results, and documentation.

The Chemical Connection: Surface Finishes for PCBs
03/31/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWriting about surface finishes brings a feeling of nostalgia. You see, one of my first jobs in the industry was providing technical support for surface cleaning processes and finishes to enhance dry film adhesion to copper surfaces. I’d like to take this opportunity to revisit the basics, indulge in my nostalgia, and perhaps provide some insight into why we do things the way we do them in the here and now.

Just Because You Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should
03/20/2025 | Tony Plemel, Flexible Circuit TechnologiesDecisions are usually made by gathering information and differing opinions, then making the best choice based upon that information. The same process is used when designing flexible circuits and rigid-flex circuits. For example, when designing a flex circuit or rigid-flex circuit, we consider some basic factors.
