Review PCB placement coordinates and component orientation using a common origin, explicit board sides and an assembly drawing before release.
Read guide →
Document do-not-populate parts and assembly variants so the BOM, placement data and drawings describe the same finished board.
Read guide →
Create a clear BOM substitution process that checks the exact part, package and design requirements before an alternative enters assembly.
Read guide →
Prepare a controlled-impedance PCB request with target values, layer references, geometry and a clear approval process for stackup changes.
Read guide →
Specify flex PCB stiffener material, location and total insertion thickness to prevent connector-fit and assembly-handoff mistakes.
Read guide →
Define a flex PCB bend with its use case, geometry and motion requirements so the construction can be reviewed before manufacture.
Read guide →
Prepare an RF PCB material request with an exact laminate grade, dielectric thickness, copper details and approved substitution rules.
Read guide →
Compare FR-4 and aluminum PCBs using heat-flow, electrical isolation and mounting requirements instead of assuming a metal core solves overheating.
Read guide →
Choose PCB thickness using connector, enclosure and fastening requirements, with a clear tolerance and a practical mechanical review checklist.
