But how to reduce PCB cost? ALTIUM DESIGNER PCB design tools are capable of tracking costs and keeping production expenditures within the budget. Produce low-cost instructions with elegant drill files Calculating printed circuit board fabrication and assembly costs requires knowledge of the Read Article When Should You Use Flexible Printed Circuit Cables? The two predominant reasons for using flex or rigid flex, are to solve a packaging issue or reduce the space and weight of the electronics package. These two are often interrelated and space, weight and packaging, (SWaP) will continue to be a driving force in PCB design. Read Article How to Use Thermocouples in Your Next Project Thermocouples are the final sensor type in a series where we look at all the main types of temperature sensors you might use in an electronics project. In this series, we have looked at the various ways to implement different temperature sensors in your project. At the end of the series, we’ll be putting the sensors and implementations in a head to head competition using real-world conditions. Through this real-world testing, will gain a better Read Article How Distance Learners are Using Upverter to Learn Electrical Engineering Online Upverter Education brings distance learners together to learn electrical engineering online. Looking back on my own experiences as a student, I am amazed at the depth of subject matter in most electrical engineering courses.
