Electric motors are easy to make; remember those experiments with wire-wrapped nails? But what’s easy to make is often hard to engineer, and making a motor that’s small, light, and powerful can be ...

One of the most amazing technological advances found in this year’s Hackaday Prize is the careful application of copper traces turned into coils. We’ve seen this before for RFID tags and scanners, but ...

Printed circuit board motors replace wire windings with copper traces and report about 7% higher efficiency, helping cut ...

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...

Purpose-built platform reduces time, cost, and complexity in developing next-generation PCB Stator motor systems. NEEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2025 / ECM PCB Stator Tech has ...

6. SOT-23 and SOIC packages are typically used in low-power motor drivers. Standard leaded packages, like SOIC and SOT-23 packages, are often used for low-power motor drivers (Fig. 6). To maximize the ...
