Dana on Data: eCAD PCB Design Deficiencies
04/04/2024 | Dana Korf -- Column: Dana on DataPrinted circuit board manufacturers are paid to create PCBs that reflect the supplied data package technical data. Decades ago, the industry started to send data packages that could not be built properly per the supplied documentation. Nobody seems to know when this started or the first manufacturer who said, “I’ll fix your error for free.”
