Understanding the Complexity of the PCB Design Process
Design: Assembling for Innovation and Functionality
Printed circuit board (PCB) design is an integral process that forms the foundation of your device's functionality. Caltronics’ expert electrical engineers are dedicated to mastering the art of our PCB design services, ensuring your project’s success from concept to realization. Our process is made simple by assembling boards to ensure that any device works for its intended purpose. Sketching the design of the boards, testing, and building an accurate prototype is how we ensure excellence for the products we design.
When designing a PCB and the layout design, we consider functionality and manufacturing issues like interference, heat generation, and power management. These determinations ensure you receive PCBs that work in practice and theory. For our customers who desire added functionality in their PCB designs, we also handle embedded microcontroller design, including in-house firmware development with the option to have our staff do the programming.

Common PCB Design Services FAQ
What are the materials in a PCB?
What causes a PCB to fail or break?
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are typically made from copper, resin, and glass. With those being the base elements, there are a lot of smaller elements, such as phenolic cotton paper, epoxy, polyester, and others, that make up the smaller assets of the board's design.
PCB designs are delicate objects, and dropping them from most heights is likely to damage the boards. Damage also comes due to complications from natural elements, exposure to heat, dust, and moisture. Possibly the most critical damage source to protect against is that resulting from Electrostatic Discharges (ESD).
The PCB Design process is broken into four main phases. These steps include:
1. Sketching the initial printed circuit board design
2. Testing the PCB design on a breadboard
3. Creating the PCB layout design
4. Building the PCB design prototype
The early stages require a high level of ideation and fine-tuning the specifics of the concept to develop a device that will operate precisely as you desire. This typically requires more upfront time commitment. Our typical PCB design turnaround is in a few weeks; however, the more complex the product is, the more time it may take to develop the design.
High levels of humidity can lead to corrosion, electrical leakage, insulation breakdown, and distorting signal interference. Significantly impacting the integrity of the board's design.
