Catch tombstone risk before reflow doesTombstone defects are a classic SMT manufacturing issue: a small component lifts on one end and stands upright after reflow, typically affecting resistors or capacitors.…
Catch layout hazards before they become failuresIn PCB design, minimum clearance is not a detail you can leave to the end of the process. If conductive features sit too close…
Validate safety distances before they become a problemAs soon as a design crosses the 30 V threshold, creepage becomes a real engineering concern. At that point, it is no longer…
Catch tombstone risk before it reaches the ovenTombstoning is one of those reflow defects that can look random on the shop floor, but in reality it often comes down to…
Why creepage analysis matters in modern PCB designAs soon as your design goes above 30 V, creepage is no longer a side topic. Minimum distances between conductive parts become a…
Spot PCB safety risks before they become design problemsIn PCB development, safety and clearance issues often stay hidden until late in the process. PCB-Investigator’s Hazard Analysis plug-in changes that by…
Catch issues before they become respinsIn PCB development, the real cost is often not the first design pass, but the issues that escape review and show up later in prototyping…
PCB development needs more than layout toolsIn modern electronics projects, a solid PCB layout is only the starting point. Teams that want to deliver reliable products need to verify design…
Why creepage matters in high-voltage PCB designOnce a design exceeds 30 V, safety requirements become much stricter. Standards such as DIN EN 60664 / VDE 0110, IPC-2221A, and UL60950-1 define…
Catch clearance risks before they become real failuresIn PCB development, it is easy to focus on routing, performance, and manufacturability. But for safety-critical designs, one of the most important questions…
