Maximizing efficiency in the PCB assembly process requires careful planning and preparation, investment in quality equipment and supplies, utilization of automated assembly equipment, proper component placement, and use of high-quality solder paste.
Effective solder paste application is a critical step in the PCB assembly process that can impact the reliability and performance of your final product.
Recently, I had the opportunity to acquire a Du Mont 224-A Oscilloscope and I decided to take on the project of restoring it to its former glory. This blog series will document my journey of restoring this vintage instrument and will provide a glimpse into the history of electronic measurement.
Are you tired of dealing with power supply noise and voltage spikes in your PCB designs? Look no further because decoupling capacitors are here to save the day!
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at an unprecedented rate, and with it, the demand for low-power, high-performance devices. These devices are expected to run for long periods on a single battery charge, while still maintaining a high level of performance. This can be a significant challenge for PCB designers, as they must balance power consumption with performance while also ensuring the devices are reliable and cost-effective.
KiCad is a popular electronic design automation (EDA) software suite used to create printed circuit boards (PCBs). If you’re new to KiCad, here are five tips to help you get started:
Project management is a crucial aspect of any development project, but it can take on different forms depending on the type of development being done. Software development and hardware development are two distinct fields, each with their own challenges.
When we talk about electricity, there are a few key units of measurement that we use to describe how it flows and how it is used. These units are voltage, current, and resistance. Let’s take a closer look at each of these…
The CR2032 is a fantastic battery for many different solutions. CR2032 batteries are a cost-effective, widely available, and user-friendly power source for electronic devices.
When developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), it is critical to determine the key features that will be included. This can assist in focusing resources and verifying that the MVP can effectively test the market and validate the product concept. Here are some suggestions for determining the features to include in your MVP: Choosing the…

As an electronics product design, prototyping, and manufacturing company, we at Cyber City Circuits understand the importance of designing a product that not only meets the functional needs of its users, but also enhances their overall experience. In today’s competitive market, it’s essential to consider every aspect of the user experience, from the product’s aesthetic appeal to its usability and user-friendliness.
Pluggable Screw Terminal Connectors are an innovative solution for PCB to wire connections. They eliminate the need for messy wire soldering and provide a clean and organized setup. The screw terminals make it easy to connect wires securely, while the plug on the other end allows for a seamless connection to the PCB.
Splicing cut tape is an essential step in the PCB assembly process, and it is the process of joining two pieces of cut tape to make a single piece.
By working with a company like Cyber City Circuits, you can also benefit from cost savings and increased production efficiency during the process of creating a proof of concept, prototype, and pre-production prototype. Cyber City Circuits has the expertise and experience to help you through each stage of the product design process, resulting in a successful and cost-efficient outcome.

At Cyber City Circuits, we get the concept of an MVP approach. While it may be tempting to pour all of your resources into developing a fully realized product, a MVP can often be a more effective and efficient way to validate your ideas and get to market quicker.
We offer an assortment of assembly services for your company’s needs. Click here to learn how to place an assembly order.
The age of USB-C is here and your product best be with the times. USB-C is great because it is so versatile. It is designed to be present everywhere. Not all USB-C Connectors are designed equal though. There are options for Power Only, USB 2.0, USB 3.x, angled, straight, etc. It can be taunting to decide with connector is right for your device.
As a product design company that works with small to medium sized businesses, we at Cyber City Circuits know firsthand the importance of designing a successful development cycle.
The Proof of Concept helps designers test and refine product ideas before committing to a final product. It aims to bring the product design to life and test its feasibility, usability, and appeal.
When deciding on requirements during the development process, it is important to differentiate between objectives and constraints. Understanding the difference can help ensure that the product meets the needs of the users and is feasible to produce.
Ohm’s Law tells us that the amount of electricity flowing through a conductor is related to how much resistance the conductor has to the flow of electrons. Resistance is a measure of how hard it is for the electrons to move through the conductor.
Capacitors are electrical components that store and release electrical energy. They are commonly used in electronic circuits for a variety of purposes, such as filtering, coupling, and storing electrical energy. The capacitance of a capacitor, or its ability to store electrical energy, is determined by three physical factors: 1) the type of material used as…
You should know that soldering irons are HOT! That means you will get burned. It’s okay, everyone gets burned a few times when starting out, but just be careful. You may also need to use tweezers or clamps to help hold things in place while you’re working. Also, when you’re not using the iron always…
Cultivating a great idea into a product and being able to disregard other ideas is a valuable skill when developing a new product. I like to call my process ‘The Numbers Game’. Having a Great Idea is a process. It takes a lot of time and effort to have a Great Idea. It is a…
At Cyber City Circuits, we understand the importance of being able to accurately assess the complexity of a given project. That’s why we frequently use the Stacey Complexity Matrix as a tool to help us understand the unique challenges and requirements of each project we undertake. New product development depends on two things, what you…
When you need a PCB assembled by a machine, you can generate a position file for the machine to know where to place your parts. This process in KiCAD can be a little tricky, so I wanted to write an article to help you generate a position file. First you need to place a ‘Place…
A good trick in manufacturing to speed up assembly is to order PCBs in panels. In this example, there are 4 different PCBs set in one panel. This way the machines can build 4 boards at one time. Takes less human interaction and less errors than if the boards are assembled and processed it one…
