Category:PCB PCB Design Rules
Initially PCBs were designed manually by creating a photomask on a clear mylar sheet, usually at two or four times the true size. Starting from the schematic diagram the component pin pads were laid out on the mylar and then traces were routed to connect the pads. If you have many questions of PCB Design, please come here!

I am designing a PCB layout for my team's high current, high voltage project and am having trouble with choosing my trace width. The circuit is composed of 12 inductors placed in series with short tra...(view more)
Is there any scenario in which a via with an octagonal or square pad could be a better choice, even if it's just for routing purposes? Or are there maybe some PCB manufacturers only able to make certa...(view more)
Can anyone suggest a method to use Kicad for a rigid-flex design? My conceptual design is a flexible circuit with a smaller 1 layer rigid pcb adhered to the top of flexible circuit. The top copper...(view more)
When I design a PCB, I upload the Gerber files and get to know the dimensions of the boards from it. I tend not to work on a size and make it fit the board, but make it then find out what size it is. ...(view more)
