20250710 Transparent PCB from JLCPCB

I kinda caught this wonderful news about a month ago. This is the latest innovation from JLCPCB, which is the Transparent PCB. Not only is it almost optically clear at 85% clarity, it is flexible as well. Although this is exciting, I’d still need to test it in terms of temperature resistance which I think, […]

20250529 The 0.8mm PCB

There’s a slight lull in the Office, so this is just a filler post to briefly touch on the thin 0.8mm PCBs. More than a decade ago, when I was scouring locally for someone to make printed circuit boards (aka PCBs), most companies would only produce them with the standard thickness of 1.6mm. They are […]
