A manufacturer’s perspective on determining parts layout.

If you check out OKI's High Current / High Heat Radiation Board product pages you ... heat-generating electronic components. OKI's PR suggests this PCB technology might be best used in miniature ...

By taking an existing known-good PCB, stripping off all the SMT parts, and moving the through hole components to the rear ... from sawn-up raw copper clad board, with the pogos facing upwards ...

It’s not often you get the chance to talk shop with Hayao Nakahara, Gene Weiner, Tom Kastner and David Schild. When you do, you’re best off sitting back and listening.

Hopefully we can figure out ... PCB’s functionality and flow of signals. In the case of this Apollo-era board, I knew nothing. It was just a bunch of transistors and supporting discrete components.

The PCB also said that there have been no budget overruns so far because of the Champions Trophy and other issues.
