Component placement in PCB design

Former Member

Hello,

 

I am new here, also new in pcb design. Would you anybody help me about placement? Yes I know it is not universal, rather it varies person to person. but what are the basic rules to consider when placing components? Please discuss broadly.

    Hello,

     

    component placement techniques depend largely on the design itself. In most cases there are different kinds of limitations (like pcb area, mechanical stress zones, height limit, particular connectors placement...) First and foremost you need to follow the recommendations of component manufacturer. Very often there are recommendations or even layout example in datasheet and/or application note.

     

    Placement considerations also depend greatly on number of layers. Some good techniques are impossible to execute on 2-layer pcb's but entirely doable on 4-layer ones.

     

    I would say that any particular design has its own rules. It would be much easier if you posted one particular problem you have.
