When we started planning this issue, we couldn’t help comparing PCB designers and fabricators to citizens of different countries trying to communicate. They can each comprehend most of what the other person is saying, but a lot of the little things are lost in translation. And here again, it’s the little things that can cause big misunderstandings.
In the March 2025 issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. But as we see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
