A few years ago, I wrote a few columns titled Making A Thing. These columns were a tutorial of sorts for several different 3D modeling programs. This column wasn’t meant to be a complete guide to ...

Eventually, almost every EE must design a PCB, which isn’t something that’s taught in school. Yet engineers, technicians, and even novice PCB designers can create high-quality PCBs for any and every ...

Is plain old FR-4 (also known as “Glass Epoxy”) PCB material suitable for use in RF designs[1]? This question comes up time and again. Many say no, fewer say yes – who's right? As I have published ...

The study population was recruited between 2003 and 2006 and consisted of former capacitor workers who had been employed by GE for at least 3 months between 1946 and 1977 at either of two capacitor ...

Advanced Linear Devices (ALD) announces the immediate availability of a universal PCB designed to automatically balance leakage currents and manage overvoltage, enabling ultra low-power usage in ...

Anyone who’s made a PCB has encountered the conundrum of having to pay for space that you don’t use… for instance, designing a round PCB and seeing the corners go to waste. The solution? Smaller ...

For years, researchers have known that the toxic chemicals known as PCBs are present in thousands of school buildings nationwide, potentially jeopardizing the health of the children who learn in them ...
