PCB & electrical layout

A printed circuit board connects and supports the electronics. Component placement, signal routing and power distribution all influence electrical behavior.

Power integrity

Decoupling capacitors and their connection paths help manage local supply disturbances. Placement and routing affect the effectiveness of the circuit.

What to look for

Assess the board as a system. Connector support, component placement, protection and repair access are practical considerations. Board color is not a measure of electrical quality.
