Are Thin PCB Tracks a Cause for Concern?
Recently received a batch of PCBs from a manufacturer and noticed that the tracks appear over etched, with thinner tracks compared to a previous build. After assembling and testing the board, it appears to be functioning properly.
But the question arises: Is the board’s quality acceptable?
- Thin tracks on a PCB can sometimes indicate over etching during manufacturing.
- While the board may function fine initially, thinner tracks could lead to potential issues in the long run.
- Consider consulting with the manufacturer to ensure the PCB meets industry standards for track width.
