Continued pressure for electronic devices that provide greater functionality in ever-smaller form-factors is not only providing the driving force behind developing smaller surface-mount components and ...

Surface mounting is an efficient technique for PCB assembly if the proper process is followed. The printed circuit board is usually laminated and integrated with solder pads. These pads are plated ...

One of the first decisions involved in laying out a printed circuit board (PCB) is choosing the type and style of components to be used. This decision is mainly driven by the PCB’s electrical ...

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 ...

Printed circuit board (PCB) workstations are used for creating or modifying circuit boards. They may include gas extraction systems to remove fumes from solder and work surfaces that are not ...

Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

In recent months, the ability to hide components inside a circuit board has become an item of interest. We could trace this to the burgeoning badgelife movement, where engineers create beautiful works ...

Interplex Engineered Products has introduced a new patent-pending Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Card-Edge Connector System based on the company's press-fit technology. Interplex Engineered Products ...
