Wire-to-Board Connectors for Hoverboard Design: Balancing Power Density, Signal Integrity, and Compact Integration
A self-balancing hoverboard integrates multiple high-power and low-power circuits into a confined enclosure — typically under 25 cm in diameter. The mechanical envelope severely limits PCB real estate, while the electromagnetic environment demands careful separation of high-current motor drive paths from sensitive sensor and balance-control signal lines. This article walks through the connector selection logic […]
