Printed Circuit Design Tutorial 

    Gold Phoenix has been sale PCB board in North America since 2003, during these years we received a lot of questions from different customers about PCB designs, and customers also make some common mistakes. Finally we think that it is better to write a tutorials to cover some basic rules, tips, techniques in PCB designs. Hope this tutorial can help our customer to improve their PCB design skills.

    There is three sections in this paper, 1) Basic rules in PCB design, 2) Explain some basic technology in PCB manufacture 3) Prepare the files for PCB house.
