How Many Circuit Boards Does a Robotaxi Need? L5 Electronics On 3 September 2026, Tesla’s Cybercab began commercial operation in Austin, Texas, with plans for its first public display in Beijing and Shanghai later in the month. The vehicle is a two-seater with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no…

PCB Press Fit Connector Hole Tolerance: A Hole That Holds Without Solder Electronics manufacturing has become a discipline of small details. Solder paste volumes, placement accuracy, temperature profiles and inspection limits all add up to the final result. This guide looks at PCB press fit connector hole tolerance from the…

Energy Storage PCB: Where AI Data Centres Meet Power Electronics On 3 September 2026, the World Power Battery Conference opens in Yibin, where the industry is expected to publish its 2026 development index and technology roadmap. The discussion has broadened beyond electric vehicle traction packs to a new demand centre:…

ASIL-D Chassis Domain Controllers: What Mass Production Demands On 1 July 2026, China’s revised mandatory national standard for automotive steering systems, GB 17675-2025, came into force, drawing clearer safety boundaries around steer-by-wire and other new steering technologies. In parallel, NIO’s integrated chassis controller has entered mass production, and Huawei’s Tuling…

PCB Selective Conformal Coating Masking: Keeping the Connectors Clear Electronics manufacturing has become a discipline of small details. Solder paste volumes, placement accuracy, temperature profiles and inspection limits all add up to the final result. This guide looks at PCB selective conformal coating masking from the perspective of a PCBA…

PCB Conformal Coating Thickness Measurement: How Thick the Layer Is Buyers and engineers often focus on the finished product and forget the production line behind it. In practice, most field failures can be traced back to process decisions made during assembly. Understanding PCB conformal coating thickness measurement gives you a…

72 TOPS on One Board: The Cockpit Domain Controller PCB Challenge A car that sells for around 100,000 yuan now ships with a computing module rated at 72 TOPS. That figure, once the preserve of dedicated autonomous driving hardware, is increasingly delivered by a single board that consolidates cockpit infotainment…

RoHS, REACH and Halogen-Free: How to Audit a PCB Supplier Environmental compliance used to be a documentation exercise performed at the end of a project. A customer asked for a declaration, the supplier produced a PDF, and the file went into a folder. That model no longer survives contact with…

PPE Resin Up 412%: What It Means for High-Speed PCB Laminates In late July 2026, financial media across Asia reported a figure that should interest every engineer specifying a high-speed board: the price of high-end polyphenylene ether (PPE) resin had risen from roughly 36,000 yuan per tonne at the start…

6G Phased Array and LEO Satellite PCB: The Consistency Problem On 26 August 2026, Chinese high-frequency PCB manufacturer BenChuan Intelligent disclosed in its interim report that its high-frequency and high-speed products had entered small-batch shipment with optical module customers, that several co-packaged optics projects had reached the validation stage, and…
