Kamstrup, a Danish manufacturer of smart water meters, is using selective soldering equipment from Nordson Electronics ...

Getting the hang of through-hole soldering is tricky for those of us tinkering at home with our irons, spools, flux, and, sometimes, braids. It’s almost reassuring, then, to learn that through-hole ...

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, ...

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 ...

LEDs have outmatched incandescent bulbs in the aspect of operational time span. But one of the many reasons why some LED applications have short useful life is due to mishandling, such as improper ...

Mill-Max's organic fibre plug (OFP®) solder barrier receptacles are discrete sockets for through-hole soldering into printed circuit boards. Mill-Max's organic fibre plug (OFP®) solder barrier ...

For a lot of us, soldering just seems to come naturally. But if we’re being honest, none of us was born with a soldering iron in our hand — ouch! — and if we’re good at soldering now, it’s only thanks ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
