Printed Circuit Assembly Design

Ever faster, ever smaller, todays electronics demand skilled and knowledgeable engineers behind the scenes, creating new assembly designs. This fundamental, practical guide provides all the tools todays electronics designers need to work through the PCA design process, one step at a time. Printed Circuit Assembly Design features:

*A complete road map to efficient PCA design
*Outlines of design process and design flow
*Coverage of both electronic and mechanical considerations for small, light, inexpensive PCAs
*“Next gen” printed circuit design techniques and tools, including CAD methods
*Systems design tools
*Board layout tips and tactics
*Quality control methods
*Documentation guidance
*Reference resources

A complete, one-stop guide for the PCA designer, Printed Circuit Assembly Design is the only book you need to stay at the advancing edge of design in electronics.
