In PCB analysis, a clean DRC is important\u2014but it does not always answer the real engineering question: how is this component connected in context?<\/strong> The Component Connection Analysis plug-in in PCB-Investigator is built exactly for that level of inspection.<\/p>\n It thoroughly examines all pin connections of a selected component, including associated net names and lengths. For PCB designers, validation engineers, and technical decision-makers, that means a faster and more structured view of electrical connectivity without piecing together the information manually.<\/p>\n One of the most practical advantages is the ability to verify whether specific component types are present within a net. From an EMC perspective, this is extremely valuable. For example, you can check whether a capacitor is placed near a connector and immediately see the capacitor name and its distance from that connector.<\/p>\n Understanding net connectivity at component level often reveals issues that a standard rule check will not highlight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Every net can be visualized in the main window with a simple double-click, making review workflows much more efficient. And because results can be printed or exported as Excel or text files<\/strong>, the analysis is easy to share, archive, or include in technical documentation.<\/p>\n If you want deeper visibility into component-level connectivity, take a closer look at this plug-in.
