Although optical subsystems are widespread in applications such as sensing and telecoms today, the way in which the optics components are assembled and packaged remains a tricky and time-consuming ...

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

Should folks building small numbers of circuit boards use surface-mount parts, or should they stick with through-hole components that are so much easier to handle and solder (not to mention see)?

You’ve finally decided to take the plunge and build a board with surface-mount parts. After carefully dispensing the solder paste with a syringe, it’s time to place the parts. You take up your trusty ...

WECO's SMarTconn family of surface mount terminal blocks now includes a 3.5 mm pitch version. Designated the 930-D-SMD Series, these terminal blocks are available in 2-12 poles and are constructed for ...

If you want to build cool things these days, you’ve probably had to master surface mount electronics. However, for many people, ball grid array (BGA) is still intimidating. Have a look at [VoltLog’s] ...
