This is particularly true in the creation of printed circuit boards (PCBs) for electronic devices. The ability to reverse engineer printed circuit boards has become increasingly important as manufacturers seek…
Image Source: Freepik What comes into your mind when you hear the term embedded? It simply means that a particular item is placed inside the main product. It is the same with PCBs or printed circuit boards. You see, PCBs are basically a part of almost every single electronic device that you can think of.…
LED (light-emitting diode) lights are widely used. However, are you aware of the PCB (printed circuit board) lighting component at heart? LED PCB is one of the ground-breaking technologies that has allowed LEDs to be used in a wide range of consumer and industrial lighting applications. LEDs produce a lot of heat, and keeping that…
Polyimide PCB has recently made a reputation for itself in the industry due to its versatility and multipurpose application, but FR4 boards continue to dominate the traditional PCB market. It’s not unexpected that numerous firms are interested in polyimide PCB. However, what exactly is a polyimide PCB? To put it simply, these boards are constructed…
The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is one of the essential concepts in electronics. Designers make them with conductive pads, tracts, and other notched components made of copper sheets which are glued on non-conductive substrates to ensure quality mechanical support and electronic components connections. Multi-layered, double-sided, and single-sided printed circuit boards are available. For example, active…
To understand PCB colors, keep in mind that the coloring on the board is not the same as the original circuit color. It’s a layer on top of the FR-4 PCB’s material. The color on each board is due to the solder mask color, which protects the panel’s pure conductors. The color of the solder…
Lightning is one of the most powerful forces of nature and lightning strikes can cause a lot of damage. When lightning strikes, it creates a high voltage discharge that emanates from the cloud in the form of lightning bolts. These lightning bolts can reach as far as 10 miles to strike something on the…

Which one should you use? It all depends on the features that you need, but also how much space you have available and what kind…
Image Source: Flickr When you think of electricity and circuits, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, you’ll probably think of series and parallel circuits. After all, these are the two most common types of electric circuits used in everyday devices and appliances. But how do they differ? Which one is better for…
If you’ve ever studied electronics, you may have heard the term “buck converter”. It sounds like something that only an electrical engineer could understand, but it’s actually quite simple to understand. You see, a standard DC motor has a voltage range of around 3 volts up to 24 volts or more. But that does not…
