What Is a South-Facing PCB? Board Orientation, Assembly Impact, and Design Strategy

In PCB design and manufacturing, orientation is often treated as a mechanical afterthought, but it affects everything from pick-and-place accuracy to thermal performance. A south-facing PCB is not a distinct material type or stackup; rather, it is a practical term used to describe a board whose primary component side, connector row, or critical edge is
