Design for Manufacturing Electronics Podcast
Over the past 20 years, we've helped many companies go from one electronics prototype that works to thousands of finished units that sell and customers love. We'll give you advice on how to design for manufacturing dealing with factories in Chin and Taiwan, how to avoid pitfalls when dealing with ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers), and most importantly, how to meet your time to market so you make the most profit out of your electronics.

The X in DFX (Design for Excellence) is merely a placeholder you can change for A (DFA – Design for Assembly), M ( DFM -Design for Manufacturing), or C (DFC -Design for Cost), etc…
It’s just a concept that exists to remind you that whatever you’re designing, keep the end goal in mind.

PCBA design, these are the 4 things you have to consider.
PCBA DESIGN – TECHNOLOGY
You'll have to choose between SMT and THT, but it's more about what your product needs rather than what you want or can afford.
PCBA DESIGN – COMPONENTS
Lead times are a huge issue right now, so when designing, make sure you know which components are available and which have crazy long lead times.

Flex soldering is more difficult to master than rigid soldering. The core principles for soldering components stay the same, but flexibility implies coping with diverse material handling and adaptability.
However difficult, we must learn to deal with them because they're here to stay.
The smaller the electronics get and trends like foldable phones continue to rise; the need for small flexible PCBs is real.
