Longer pieces on what a particular kind of board demands — copper weight, thermal path, creepage, test. The how-to-buy articles live in the technical guides instead.
Application note Field note 02 October 2026
Why the shunt, the Kelvin connection and the isolation barrier — not the controller — decide whether a pack can be trusted, and how the assembly becomes part of the measurement.

Power electronics PCBA: heavy copper, thermal vias and creepage
What a power board demands of its copper weight, its thermal path and its spacing distances — and why all three are decided on the drawing.
Read the note
Every note starts with a board someone had to build. These came off our lines, photographed on our own bench.
An application note is not a buying guide and not a product page. It takes one class of board and works out what that board needs from copper, heat and spacing — before anyone quotes.
Each note takes a single class of board and the constraints that class puts on the process — not a round-up, and not a list of tips.
The note is written by the engineering team that prices the work, so the limits it describes are the limits we build to.
What to send for a quote, how a board is tested, which finish to choose — those are technical guides. Here the board itself is the subject.
What to send for a quote, how a board is tested, which surface finish to pick — written for buyers, in the same voice as the note above.
All eleven technical guides — how to specify, quote and test a board
Send us the drawing and what the product is for. We will tell you what the process would need to change — in writing, before you commit to a quote.
