Soldering is the process of using a metal alloy with a low melting temperature (solder) to fuse the electrical contacts of a component to the pads of a circuit board. Proper soldering maximizes the ...

The printed circuit board assembly process has undergone revolutionary changes over the past three decades. What once relied ...

Electronics components are steadily moving away from through hole parts to using surface mount technology (SMT) exclusively. While the small size of the SMT components can be intimidating, with a ...

Vacuum reflow soldering technology, although limited in adoption, is emerging as a key focus in high-reliability electronics. While traditional reflow ...

The result is that the entire board is much denser, and comments can be installed on both sides of the PC board, as seen in Figure 2 . Since the board does not require drilling for component leads ...

Use of surface-mount technology (SMT) in consumer products offers a major competitive advantage—they enable significant design miniaturization. Surface-mount devices (SMD) come in a variety of ...

In the mid-1980s, the electronics industry began a nearly unanimous move towards using surface-mount technology (SMT), Figure 1. This article assumes you have an existing PCB or other suitable board ...

Who will show the best soldering skills at the Hackaday Superconference next week? We have a little — in fact, a very little — challenge for you: solder surface mount components down to a tiny 0201 ...

The SMT-8120 soldering-sintering paste, adapted from traditional MLCC paste, provides long-term reliability comparable to established TLPS pastes used in capacitor assembly. The sintered copper also ...

Allowing a wide variety of devices to connect to a PCB without soldering, the 9176 Series standalone, surface-mount discrete wire IDC contact and cap component enables wires to be simply inserted into ...
