Designing an optimum PCB that is manufacturable requires immense practical experience. Yes, a design review can help! But how often do you see a PCB manufacturer at the table in a design review? And it’s not a one-meeting solution. The impractical design decisions made at the initial design stage will eventually get baked into the prototype, stay through the lifecycle of the product, and inadvertently cause quality defects and/or increase costs over the long term. We started offering design layout services because, for our customers, it comes down to completing the project on schedule and knowing that the design will work in thousands as well as in tenpiece prototypes. The theoretical, but also the practical elements. Foreword Why would we write on a topic that hasīeen written about numerous times? What are we trying to say that is different from what has already been said? Through this design guide, we make an attempt to convey the design aspects from a manufacturing perspective and the fine details that make a big impact - not just
