Learn PCB mounting essentials: secure components with pillars, choose stabilizers, place holes properly. Prevent failures and ensure electronics stability through correct mounting techniques.

Choose reliable PCB pins: match material to environment, ensure precise fit/strength, and test rigorously to prevent signal loss, solder failures, and costly device breakdowns.

Master converting hand-drawn PCBs to Gerbers in Altium/Cadence! Learn scanning, component placement, power/signal routing rules, noise reduction, and creative layout techniques.

Unlock big IoT potential with tiny, budget-friendly ESP32 chips! Master board selection, setup in minutes, fix common issues, and outshine Raspberry Pi for low-power projects.

Master IC package selection: BGA for high-speed/high-pin, QFP for cost efficiency. Unlock chiplet/3D performance gains and conquer signal/thermal challenges with proven PCB strategies.

Master BGA soldering: Prevent bridging/voids with precise temp control, baking & flux. Essential tools: stencils, reflow ovens, X-ray inspection ensure reliable high-density connections.

Blind vias save space in dense PCBs by connecting outer to inner layers selectively. Essential for HDI designs like smartphones, they optimize routing & thermal

PCBA testing (AOI, ICT, FCT) catches defects early, prevents recalls & saves costs. Choose methods by risk, budget & volume. Systematically debug failures to protect

Identify AC control board warning signs like random shutdowns, understand replacement costs ($150–$700), select exact replacements, and safely source boards from China suppliers.

Understand why PCBA costs exceed PCB: component sourcing, precise assembly (SMT/THT), and rigorous testing (X-ray, functional checks) add labor, materials, and engineering expenses.
