Tg150 vs Tg170 decision:
Board >1.6mm + 2 or more reflow cycles? Spec Tg170.
Tg150 risks delamination by the 3rd pass. Premium is only 2-4 cents/cm2. Cheaper than a respin.

6L impedance cost tip: try asymmetric prepreg (1080-2116-3313). Same Z0, 8-12% less laminate cost.
Catch: check CTE balance for bow. Ask your fab if they model asymmetric stackups — the answer tells you a lot.

Ask your fab about panel utilization before finalizing board dimensions.
Moving from 98x48mm to 95x45mm fit 2 extra boards per panel on a recent job. 15% unit cost drop. Zero design compromise.
Small trim, big savings.

This tiny robot moves like a real animal. 🐾🤖
Meet Kame, a compact open-source, 3D-printable quadruped robot designed to reproduce animal-like gaits and movements.
The original Kame was developed by Javier Isabel at BQ Innovation Lab, using 3D-printed parts, Arduino/ESP8266 electronics and eight servos.
Small robot. Simple hardware. Surprisingly expressive movement.
Would you build one yourself? 👀

ENIG with 3-6um Ni and 7-9% phosphorus passes 5x reflow for most BGA above 0.4mm pitch.
ENEPIG adds $0.80/sqft — only needed for <0.4mm pitch or wire bonding.
Ask your fab's black pad rate before upgrading.

Thermal relief on a 20A rail with 2oz copper adds 15-40 milliohms. That's a 300mV drop your regulator never expected.
Direct connect on high-current pads. Always. Unless your assembler literally can't solder it.
