PCB panelization consolidates multiple PCBs into a larger board, improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing waste. Techniques include V-scoring and tab-routing. Proper design enhances assembly, testing, and cost-effectiveness.
Designing a PCB involves ten detailed steps: schematic capture, creating a blank PCB layout, syncing designs, defining stackup, setting design rules, placing components, adding drill holes, routing traces, labeling, and generating output files. These steps ensure an organized, error-free process from concept to manufacturing.
Plated half-holes allow for high-density, miniaturized electronic connections with ease of soldering and efficient board integration—two of the basic needs of modern PCB designs and applications today, such as WiFi modules.
