The PCB holder uses 3D-printed parts, M5 hardware, a length of 2020 aluminum extrusion, and one spring to create a handy and adjustable design that accommodates a variety of PCB sizes and shapes.

Those of us familiar with PCB work would agree that anything that helps hold probes secure and hands-free to components, traces, or test points is worth looking at. That’s where [2048bits]&#8… ...

By making them aware of your design objectives and involving them in the early stages of PCB layout, you can avoid any potential problems long before going into production and shorten time-to-market.

Process: Design the circuit using PCB design software. Print the design onto a transparency/acetate sheet. This is called the PCB artwork; Prepare the photo-resist board by peeling off the ...
