A printed circuit board turns separate parts into a stable system that powers up, talks to peripherals, and survives real ...

Let’s face it friends, everything is moving toward surface mount components. We’ve seen quite a few features here that cover using stencils to populate boards and using ovens to reflow. [Oleg] has put ...

IPC–Association Connecting Electronics Industries has announced the IPC-7351 Generic Requirements for Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern Standard, which is the successor to IPC-SM-782A. Like its ...

The TDD Series surface mount jumper DIP switches from C&K components are sealed with a removable top tape to enable them to be used in reflow soldering and washable assembly processes. The TDD Series ...

As computers have gotten smaller and less expensive over the years, so have their components. While many of us got our start in the age of through-hole PCBs, this size reduction has led to more and ...

The quality of flexible printed circuit board (FPC) surface mount processing directly affects the lifespan and performance of electronic products. To ensure product reliability, strict acceptance ...

Eventually, almost every EE must design a PCB, which isn’t something that’s taught in school. Yet engineers, technicians, and even novice PCB designers can create high-quality PCBs for any and every ...

GTK is supplying through-hole and sirface-mount flexible jumper strips in a variety of pitches and lengths, with a choice of insulation type. “Flexible jumper strips offer OEMs a versatile method of ...

Sometimes the simplest ideas at the best, and this surface-mount test probe pint from French form Nicomatic is certainly simple. Called the C12000 series, they are intended to present a mechanical ...
