The Impact of Material Selection on PCB Performance
FR4 vs. Rogers and Other High-Frequency Materials (What to Use – and When) If your board is dropping bits at high speed, missing impedance targets, or getting too warm for comfort, the culprit might not be the layout – it could be the laminate. PCB material choice drives signal integrity, […]
The Future of Flexible & Rigid-Flex PCBs
How flex circuits are reshaping wearables, aerospace, and medical applications. As products become smaller, lighter, and smarter, circuit boards are evolving too. Flexible and rigid-flex PCBs let designers bend, fold, and stack electronics in ways that flat, rigid boards simply can’t. That capability is powering a wave of innovation across […]
SMT vs. Through-Hole Assembly: Which is Best for Your PCB?
When it comes to PCB assembly, two methods dominate the industry: Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole Technology (THT). Both have their strengths, limitations, and ideal use cases. Choosing the right method can impact cost, durability, performance, and scalability of your electronic product. At Precision4PCB, we guide engineers and product […]
How to Reduce EMI in PCB Design
Practical Tips for Shielding, Grounding, and Stack-Up As electronic products get faster and more compact, electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become one of the toughest challenges for engineers. EMI can cause devices to behave unpredictably, fail compliance testing, or even disrupt nearby systems. If left unchecked, it often leads to costly […]
