The SPECCTRA® for OrCAD® is the leading solution for automatic and interactive interconnect routing for printed circuit boards (PCBs). Designed to handle a wide range of PCB designs and challenges—simple to complex, low to high density—this powerful autorouter uses advanced algorithms to make the most efficient use of the routing area. The results are increased completion rates, higher productivity, and shortened design time.

SPECCTRA for OrCAD is available as a standalone product or as part of the OrCAD PCB Designer or OrCAD PCB Designer with PSpice suites.
