Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components in a broad spectrum of electronic devices, laying the groundwork for complex functionalities in our tech-driven world. However, the journey from PCB design to a fully operational board isn't always smooth. In fact, around 75% of the orders we see at the quoting stage contain errors in design. PCB design can be a complex task with many potential pitfalls, and even minor oversights can disrupt the entire process.
Here, we explore seven common—yet frequently overlooked—mistakes in PCB design, offering a unique perspective from the manufacturer's standpoint. Read on to learn more about the missteps that can significantly affect manufacturability and a PCB's performance and lifespan.
