Flexible Thinking: PCB Designers Still Wanted
March 13, 2024 | Joe Fjelstad, Flexible Thinking
From their relatively simple beginnings, PCBs were largely structured using through-components, including axial leaded resistors, capacitors and diodes, and the iconic dual inline bug-like IC packages. They were often assembled using breadboard and wire-wrapped connections that enabled the electronics hobbyists to prototype their imaginative circuit designs. Current generation PCBs rival their integrated circuit siblings in complexity as they have become even more closely associated with creating today’s mind-numbing products.
