Making one of something is pretty easy, and making ten ain’t too bad. But what if you find yourself trying to make a couple of hundred of something on your home workbench? Suddenly, small timesavers ...

It’s remarkable how tiny electronics have become. Heaven knows what an old-timer whose experience started with tubes must think, to go from solder tags to SMD in a lifetime is some journey. Even the ...

For most of us, soldering electronics means soldering on “through hole components,” that are large and easy to handle. However, when machines build components, they use “surface mount components,” ...

Leankon has introduced the ultra-slim SMD 5G antenna LK1830101, now available and engineered to meet the evolving demands of next-generation IoT applications. Purpose-built for tracker systems, fleet ...

The advantages of SMT reflow soldering are reflected in three core dimensions: in terms of high efficiency, modern SMT production lines can achieve fully automated operations, completing the soldering ...

Here is a simple capacitive touch switch circuit for electronics hobbyists. Even though the circuit uses smd components, construction of the touch sensor switch is not very hard because the whole ...

High-power SMD ceramic-based chip resistors are susceptible to solder joint failure, cracking, and pulling the solder lands off the PCB. High power SMD ceramic-based chip resistors are susceptible to ...

PCB Design Best Practices: Six things to consider when making PCB component choices based on part footprints. All the examples in this article are developed using the NI Multisim design environment, ...
