Here's our design suggestions for what you can do to make the pick and place go smoother for your CM, which will in turn improve yields and potentially also lower lead times and cost.

We often get asked about the best way to route very fine pitch BGA and CSP packages. Often times designers think they need to route their traces between the BGA pads. But if you try that, then you will violate our 3-mil trace width and gap. So what’s to be done?
Every PCB design is a delicate balance between functionality and price. When it comes to PCB fabrication, the general rule of thumb is the smaller anything is, the more it costs to produce.
What can you, as a customer, do to help ensure that there are no shipping delays on your order? Here are some seemingly trivial but effective tips to avoid delays to your PCBA order.
As a hardware designer, your job is to develop PCBs on time, within budget, and they need to work! In this article, we’ll focus on designing boards with manufacturing-in-mind so your boards cost less to make, but work just the same.
Many PCBA contract manufacturers promise “instant quoting” with their service. You may have high expectations when a CM advertises using this the term. However, you’ll find that phrase means different things to different CMs. We've analyzed the instant quote experience with PCBA CMs across the globe. Here's how CircuitHub compares.
Turning an idea for an electronic product into something ready to sit on a store shelf isn’t particularly easy. Thomas Edison’s classic quote about success being 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration isn’t far off when applied to taking a product to market.
Welcome! On CircuitHub you can upload your EDA design files, get a live interactive quote, and order fully assembled circuit boards. If you are an electrical engineer looking for a new solution to your pcb manufacturing and assembly needs, then CircuitHub might be right for you!
Although not as popular nowadays, through-hole components were dominant for decades. IBM pioneered the through-hole part along with printed circuits and the technology of how to put leaded components through the circuit. Before this everything was all wire wound. Since the evolution of SMT technology has largely replaced the through-hole technology construction method, its popularity has gone way down and today are used mostly for making interconnections between board layers or when a stronger connection to the pcb is needed.
