Manufacturing of a modern component-laded printed circuit board (PCB) is an amazing fusion and coordination of diverse technologies. There’s the board as substrate itself, the stencils and masks that ...

Surface-mount technology has been a fantastic force multiplier for electronics in general and for hobbyists in particular. But sometimes you’ve got no choice but to use through-hole components, ...

In our last installment of Tools of the Trade, we had just finished doing the inspection of the surface mount part of the PCB. Next in the process is the through hole components. Depending on the PCB, ...

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 ...

Currently, one of the fundamental ways to connect circuit components is through soldering. The baseplate and individual components must be perfectly connected when soldering power modules. Reduced ...

Vicor now provides through-hole packaging option for all V•I Chips, including MIL-COTS. This is in addition to existing surface mount (SMT) compatible packaging, doubling the available range.

Recap: The Raspberry Pi 5 was launched in 2023, delivering more than twice the performance of the previous generation. The board was also instrumental in bringing a small, yet significant change in ...
