Pin-level visibility that improves PCB validation
Reliable manufacturing starts long before the board reaches production. With the Component Connection Analysis in PCB-Investigator, engineers and PCB designers get a precise view of every pin connection for a selected component.
The plug-in not only displays the associated net names, but also the connected lengths. That makes it easier to understand how a component is integrated into the overall network and whether the electrical connectivity matches the design intent.
Especially useful for EMC and layout reviews
One of the most valuable capabilities is the ability to check whether specific component types are present within each net. From an EMC perspective, that can be highly relevant—for example, verifying whether a capacitor is placed close to a connector.
What looks like a simple connection check quickly becomes a practical tool for design validation, troubleshooting, and documentation.
The results can be visualized in the main window with a simple double-click. They can also be exported as Excel or text files, making it straightforward to reuse the data in reports, reviews, or internal documentation.
Why engineers use it
- Fast overview of all pins on a selected component
- Clear display of net names and connection lengths
- Verification of specific component types inside a net
- Support for EMC checks and layout validation
- Export options for documentation and further analysis
