As parts of the passive components, resistors are components that are designed to impede or restrict the flow of electric current. Resistors are non-polar components, meaning they do not have polarity...
PCBWay will add the Product No. on PCB to distinguish your PCB from others. The position where the Product No. is added is not fixed, we will try to put it under the IC so that the number wi...
Gerber FilesSelect the menu bar, click "File"->"Fabrication Outputs"->"Gerber Files", as shown in the figure below.After clicking, the Gerber Setup interface will appear. Refer to the red boxes ...
Common PCB thermal management methods include using a heat sink, thermal pads, thermal vias, copper pour, and thermal relief. In PCB designs, thermal management methods can be implemented using a comb...
Black Core PCB is a special type of printed circuit board that features a distinct appearance and characteristics compared to traditional PCBs. It is named after the black substrate material used betw...

Single-layer PCBs and double-layer PCBs are two basic types of boards that have only one or two layers of conductive materials over the substrate. When more routing space or signal integrity is requir...
Now you can place order directly by PCBWay Plugin for KiCadAfter completing the PCB design in KiCad, the final step is to generate Gerber and drill files, which will be sent to the PCB manufacturers f...
A few years ago, when discussing signal integrity, the focus was generally on models and software. However, nowadays, engineers are gradually starting to pay attention to the impact of PCB materials o...
Ideally, PCBs should be perfectly flat, however, this is not always possible. Bow and twist usually occur. PCB bow and twist are two common types of board warpage that can occur during and after the P...
