PCB Component Placement Webinar

| Created: April 27, 2020 | Updated: April 12, 2021

Proper component placement is one of the most important aspects of PCB design. You need to familiarize yourself with the basic requirements for placing components on a printed circuit board and how they affect the other aspects of your design process (MCAD enclosures, production, signal integrity). Join us in this webinar as we explore the tools in Altium Designer designed to help you perform the perfect layout.

Learn how Altium Designer can simplify component placement while ensuring electrophysical parameters, mitigate mistakes, and speed up the overall electro-mechanical design process:

Component Placement Requirements
Mechanical Requirements
Defining Keepout Zones
Preliminary Components Placement
Placement of components taking into account the Assembly Production, Signal Integrity, and Power Supply Requirements
