Common PCB Circuit Board Errors and Mistakes
Common Errors in PCB Circuit Boards
- (1) Inconsistent Pin Numbers: Components in the PCB library may have different pin numbers compared to the schematic, causing NODE errors.
- (2) Printing Alignment Issue: Failure to start at the origin in PCB library creation can lead to printing problems.
- (3) DRC Network Division: Networks not fully connected can be identified using CONNECTED COPPER to avoid issues in complex designs.
Common Mistakes in PCB Manufacturing
- (1) Pad Overlap: Overlapping pads can result in drilling errors and damaged holes.
- (2) Irregular Graphics Layers: Misplacement of component and soldering surfaces can cause confusion.
- (3) Unreasonable Characters: Improperly sized characters can hinder soldering and PCB detection.
- (4) Single-Sided Pad Setting: Designing single-sided pads with incorrect apertures can lead to drilling data errors.
- (5) PCB Pads with Filler Blocks: Solder mask data may not be generated correctly, affecting soldering.
- (6) Electrical Ground Layer Design: Incorrect separation of heat sink and signal lines can cause errors.
- (7) Grid Spacing Issue: Small grid spacing can result in film breakage during manufacturing.
- (8) Graphics Proximity to Frame: Insufficient spacing can impact appearance quality and processing difficulty.
- (9) Unclear Outline Frame: Design frames with clear internal parts for easy manufacturing.
- (10) Uneven Graphic Design: Ensure even plating for consistent coating thickness.
- (11) Short-Shaped Hole: Maintain specific ratios for special-shaped holes to ensure proper processing.
- (12) Milling Profile Holes: Include positioning holes in the PCB board design.
- (13) Unclear Aperture Markings: Clearly mark aperture tolerances and use metric system measurements.
- (14) Inner Layer Wiring: Avoid placing heat dissipation pads on isolation tape to prevent connection failures.

Isolation Belt Design Tips
- Avoid gaps in the isolation belt design to prevent misunderstandings.
- Ensure the isolation band design is wide enough for accurate network judgment.
- Latest Update: Studies show that a well-designed isolation belt can significantly improve signal clarity and reduce interference.
