PCBDesign007 to Launch 'Design Tips' Feature

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Printed circuit board designers and design engineers, now is the time to make your voices heard! Do you have a handy design technique that you utilize on almost every job? Did you discover a trick or two about your software that the rest of the design community might not be aware of? We want to hear these tips, and so do your design colleagues.

PCBDesign007 will soon launch Design Tips, an ongoing feature that will be driven solely by input from PCB designers and design engineers. All you have to do is send us your favorite design tips, tricks and techniques. This information can encompass any area of PCB design or design engineering: schematics, basic layout, placement, routing, materials, signal integrity, EMC, RF, hybrids, DFX, documentation, etc.

Your Design Tips entries should be short and sweet, no more than 100 words. Tool-specific tips are welcome, but keep them positive. We can’t publish any tips anonymously; each tip will be published with your name, title and the name of your company. If you absolutely cannot use your company name, we’ll need to have your city, state, or country if you’re located outside the U.S.

We’ll publish a new tip every few days, and readers will be able to see all of the previous tips as well. We see this as a continuing knowledge base of useful tips that other designers can use immediately. After all, most designers know how to design a PCB. It’s the little tricks that can help you save a few minutes here, and a few dollars there.

Now is your chance to share your knowledge with your colleagues, or just show off your great ideas. To submit your contribution to Design Tips, click here.

Thanks!
