In the ever-evolving world of electronics manufacturing, innovation often takes center stage. However, some traditional methods continue to play a vital role in producing reliable and durable ...

Most of us have made the transition from through hole parts to surface mount. There are lots of scattered tutorials, but if you want to learn some techniques or compare your technique to someone ...

Boards can be made faster because surface mount technology (SMT) eliminates drilling holes for thru-hole devices, in which the pins go through the board and are soldered underneath. THIS ...

on discrete components and chips are inserted through holes in the printed circuit board and soldered from beneath. Until the late 1980s and prior to surface mount technology, all devices on ...

Perfboard is designed for through-hole parts, but ever more frequently, the parts we need are only available as surface mount devices. What does this mean for the future of all those protoboard ...
